This is my introduction I posted over at The MixCo Blog… thought it fitting to share with you all as not only does it help get an understanding of who I am, but is from the blog run by my company, “Mixed Company.” (follow us on twitter, @MixedCompanyLLC, or Like us on Facebook).
If you’ve ever been to my apartment, you’d get it. This is my life. My kitchen is starting to look like a disheveled laboratory (pronounced La-bore-a-tory, a la “Dexter’s Laboratory“). Mind you, it’s an organized mess, but none the less, an array of different sized mason jars containing semi-solid substances stewing in random liquids has slowly been acquiring the prime visual real estate zones of my kitchen counters. Scattered among this liquid skyline are tools of the trade: knives, cutting boards, coffee filters, blades, wine keys, left over ginger root, shakers, jiggers, an off brand Brita filter, misters, an atomizer, bar mats, bar towels complete with logos, and a Twix bar. Hidden from view nearby, a true liquor cabinet: in the sense that it is a cabinet that has been repurposed for the sole intention of keeping my vast quantity and variety of spirits out of view. A few steps away, is my Ikea inspired home bar that plays home to some of my finished infusions and a few choice spirits. Nestled between the bar and the liquor cabinet is a mini fridge full of innocuous tinctures, Hard Ciders, syrups, sodas, juices and water; The roof of which is now home to my growing bitters collection, spices, and non-perishable additives. I guess you can say I bring work home with me. Read more…
This is my first time at one of these. I’m not exactly sure I have a problem but my friends suggested I come so here I am. Ummmm, I’m a little nervous as you can tell. Deep breath David. OK. Here we go:
Hi, my name is David. And I’m addicted to infusions!”
That was a few days ago at the fake addiction meeting I created as a literary tool in order to develop a non-generic introduction to my blog… as you can see I’m not really a writer. So if your here for a rousing display of literary prowess, poetic license, and a “rather extensive vocabulary, not to mention a phenomenal grasp of grammar and a superlative command of syntax” then you’ve come to the wrong place. However, if you are here for any other reason, most notably: to read/learn about and discover the world of infused spirits (and liquids, as our journey will definitely venture through the non-alcoholic jungle as well) through what is ostensible my live journal, then feel free to turn the pages… or click on them. Wait, is this one of those scroll down ones? Read more…
