Random Sides // Mise En Place.
A little Sunday food for thought: mise en place. “The system that makes kitchens go is called mise-en-place, or, literally, “put in place.” It’s a French phrase that means to gather and arrange the ingredients and tools needed for cooking.” – Article via NPR. Mise en place. Have you heard of that phrase? It’s a […]

Random Sides // Choose Butter Over Bros.
Sometimes I really love playing around in Photoshop and Illustrator. I’m no graphic designer, but I’ve got a soft spot for typography. Graphic design – for me – is very much like baking. It’s the perfect combination of utilizing my technical (left) brain along with my more creative (right) brain. Here’s one sample of something […]

Random Sides // Cheers to 2016.
I’m certain that I have mentioned before on this blog that I’ve never been big on New Years’ Resolutions. Last year, I actually did write some out [see them here if you’re so inclined]. But what I am finding as the years roll on is that – more than anything else – things change. When […]

Random Sides // I’m Going to Germany!
I haven’t talked about this on the blog yet. But you read the title right: I’m going to Germany! I’ve never been out of the continental U.S. [nope, not even to Mexico or Canada!], so this will definitely be a new adventure for me. Like most great adventures, the opportunity for the trip kinda came […]

Currently // 05.21.2015.
Dayum. I have been quite busy as of late, but I gotta say that the past several months have been pretty glorious [for the most part]. I wanted to mix things up a bit, and make this post a bit different than usual. To do that, I’d like to share some morsels of knowledge that […]

Random Sides // Some Life Lessons as of Late.
