My Thoughts

Do you like puzzles? Philosophy? Questions about life, the universe and everything? Well, than this book is for you!

Now comes the tough part. Trying to put this book into words. These stories won’t be for everyone. They are weird and profound and full of meaning. Who hasn’t wanted to hasn’t wanted to take on the universe? Or, fly away? Or, prove that the invisible can’t have substance? There are so many nuances to this novel,that even thought they’re short stories,they deserve proper attention.

Unfortunately, to give too much away would ruin what you take from these stories. But, anyone who reads them needs to contact me to talk them through. An amazing book club read, for sure!

Strange Medicine is Best Served with “Just What the Doctor Ordered”

 

I mean, what better medicine than “Just what the Doctor Ordered”? I got this idea from Guy Fieri on the Food Network.

 

Ingredients

• Beer (A lager is probably best. I went with a Lock Street Brewing Company Pilsner)

Directions

1. Pour the beer
2. Add 1/2 Amaretto to a shot glass
3. Pour 1/2 shot high alcohol Rum over the back of a spoon into same shot glass
4. Light on fire
