Help Me I have Oranges without names that need curing!

Posted on | March 4, 2010 | No Comments |

Ok, so I have these oranges on my roof. They are small, about the size of a small plum. Bright orange, and with 2-3 big seeds inside. They are intensly sour, and I know that I can use them for something. Cooking has been done as in marinades, but while that is nice, I would love to do more. So I ask all of you. What should I/we do with these? I am thinking a liquer, like Limoncello, but less sweet. Suggestions? Ideas?

Please help I don’t want my oranges to rot! :)

Helvetica

Posted on | March 1, 2010 | No Comments |

Helvetica the film is worth watching whether or not your a design geek, or font lover. Yes a movie about a typeface, font, lettering. Simple and to the point, it has moments that show us how any niche has a language of it’s own. Working in wine people often mock the silly tasting notes, that ramble on with adjectives like a verbal diarrhea. This movie has many parallels. At points typeface designers lose me as they spew nonsensical word masses as they attempt to explain an idea, while all those around them nod in agreement. The language is theirs, the ideas are unique to the their profession. It works for them. Wine babble works for me.

Turns out though communication requires us to remember that our world, is not necessarily our clients, consumer, or audiences. Thank you Helvetica the movie for not only rocking the world of a design geek who’s membership has lapsed, but also for reminding me, that all disciplines deserve a unique language, and yet require us to learn to communicate without it too.

About

I'm Ryan, I write a blog about wine and then I try to tell others how to do it too. In the end I like to eat good, meet new people, drink good wine, and love taking photos. You can bribe me with a good Manhattan or any beer with a IBU over 100. If you want to talk to me, start with this.
