Savoring rum, cheese, & perfume on St. Martin/St. Maarten

There I was in my white lab coat, examining 40 vials and trying to determine which combinations to mix to get the best outcome.

A week in bourbon country: Louisville, Kentucky

While we do continue to dream of international travel, with the flair of the exotic and unknown, we often crave easier trips that blend the immense beauty of the American outdoors with wonderful culinary explorations. To that end, ever since I moved to Atlanta a few years ago, with bourbon country in Kentucky within an easy half-day drive’s reach, I had been craving a hop in the car for a spin around the Bourbon Trail.

    Ever tried South Korean soju, made from fermenting rice? I tried it on my visit a few years ago, and let me tell you, it packs a powerdul punch! I recently came across a good post in The Culture Trip about where to find it and how to drink it: https://theculturetrip.com/asia/south-korea/articles/an-insiders-gu...

    Turns out there's a dude in Durham, North Carolina who calls himself the "Black Bourbon Guy" conducts tastings and teaches cocktail classes featuring said spirit, along with a dose of lore, especially as to how its history is intertwined with black people dating back to the days of slavery. Just this week BBC Travel did an interesting piece about him: https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20220824-the-untold-history-of-b...
