Goldwasser (Herbal Liqueur)

Previously, there only existed a small segment of the United States population that had any idea what Goldwasser was. However, with Niche Import Company bringing this spirit to our shores, the amount of imbibers that can profess familiarity with Goldwasser is drastically increasing. While the spirit will immediately remind individuals of Goldschlager with gold specks floating in a clear base, the taste of Goldwasser is drastically different than that of…

Bad Company: Live at Wembley (Blu-Ray)

While this book is paced more towards upper-division courses, I believe that Adler and Adler do a great job in filling in any holes in terms of literature or concepts that an individual may have present.

Hardest thing for me is to NOT write or create and do the more mundane things in life. Whom would you say are your biggest influences, both in terms of your life and your…
