  • When I worked at a liquor store in the early 2000’s, we were sent to liquor/wine tastings every couple of months or so. The owner didn’t like schmoozing with salespeople, plus it was a good way to make sure we knew what we were selling. It was also a test to make sure you could hold your liquor and remain professional. Distributors would often regularly bring new products into the store for whichever staff was there to try.




  • Normally, I sleep too deeply to remember my dreams. I only remember them if I wake during them. However, if I don’t completely awaken, sometimes I can go right back into the dream, but I have some autonomy now and some control over the narrative. Like, I know it’s a TV show and I can change the script. I’ve always been able to do it, I feel like it’s a trade off for nearly never remembering my dreams.


  • We used Hello Fresh. Both my partner and I had basic cooking skills, but were not very good cooks. He was also a very picky eater. Hello Fresh reduced the overwhelming amount of recipes in the world down to a more reasonable number to choose from. As we kept going, we started to see the same techniques, like reduction sauces, happen in new configurations and we started to understand how they work, not just follow the instructions. It also helped my partner overcome a lot of his pickiness by being in control of what recipes we had each week, allowing him to explore new ingredients when he felt comfortable.
