This Easy Artisan Bread is a must-make! The outside is crusty and the inside is soft and delicious. You won’t believe how simple it is to make this wonderful bread!
I love baking bread. It has become one of my favorite things to make in my kitchen. I haven’t always felt this way, though. When I first ever used yeast it was SO intimidating. But over the years, and all the practice I’ve had now, I just adore baking bread and am always looking for recipes to try.
This Easy Artisan Bread is just amazing and is probably one of my favorite breads to bake. I’ll make it to serve with spaghetti, or it makes the best panini sandwich bread! The outside is crusty but the inside is so soft and delicious. Whenever I make this my family eats the entire thing in one sitting. It’s my kids’ favorite bread too.
There is a special ingredient inside this bread that I believe gives it it’s amazing flavor. And that is beer. Yep, you read that right. Now this bread DOES NOT taste like beer. I hate the taste of beer so I would not love a bread that tasted like it. I don’t know what it is though, but I know that is the winning ingredient here. You can use any type of beer you like, and those of you that are opposed to alcohol go ahead and use non-alcoholic beer like O’Douls.
The only thing to keep in mind is that the dough needs to rest for at least 8 hours. So I like to prep the dough in the morning (that part literally takes 5 minutes) and then let it sit all day. Then I bake it for dinner and we are one happy family. You guys, PLEASE take my word for it and try this bread recipe. I guarantee you will be glad you did. It truly is the best bread I have ever made. Now excuse me while I go make another loaf. 😉
MORE BREAD RECIPES YOU MAY LIKE:
Easy Artisan Bread
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/4 teaspoons course salt
- 3/4 cup warm water 105 to 110 degrees F.
- 3/4 cup (6 ounces) beer (regular or non-alcoholic beer) room temperature
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, yeast and salt. Add water and beer and stir together with a wooden spoon. Cover with plastic wrap that’s been sprayed with cooking spray and then cover again with a dish towel. Let dough sit at room temperature for at least 8 hours.
- If you want a denser bread you can let it rise up to 18 hours.
- Flour a clean countertop with 2 Tablespoons flour and pour dough out onto it. Fold the dough over a couple of times. Sprinkle the top with 1 Tablespoon flour.
- Tear off a 2 foot sheet of plastic wrap. Spray the entire thing with cooking spray. Place dough onto the center of greased plastic wrap and then fold plastic wrap to cover dough entirely. Let sit again for 30 minutes to rise.
- Meanwhile, place a dutch oven with the lid on (I use my Le Creuset dutch oven) in the oven. Turn the oven on to 440 degrees F. Let the oven heat with the dutch oven inside for 30 minutes.
- (If you don’t have a dutch oven you can use a baking sheet that has been oiled generously but no need to warm in the oven while preheating.)
- Gently lift the bread over to the oven and drop it from the plastic and into the hot pot. Please be careful and use oven mitts so you don't burn yourself! Cover with lid and bake for 30 minutes.
- If using oiled baking sheets, drop dough from the plastic and onto the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve bread warm and enjoy!

Stone wash. Stonewash sometime referred as Enzyme wash is most common in denim wearing. Typical in denim, due to its unique fabric construction gets antique look with time passing. An old jean is famous for the white and blue texture that appears on warp and weft of garment. In fashion it is required on fresh articles and enzyme wash is designed to create this effect on garments.
As the name implies, freshly dyed jeans are loaded into large washing machines and tumbled with stones. Adding pumice stones gives the additional effect of a faded or worn look. The pumice abrades the surface of the jeans like sandpaper, removing some dye particles from the surfaces of the yarn. Pumice has been used since the introduction of stone washed jeans in the early eighty.
Â Stone washing with pumic has some disadvantages. The intensity of the abrasion process is difficult to control. Small will not give the desired look. Too much can damage the fabric, mostly at the hems and waistbands. The effect in a load of jeans is never consistent, with a noteworthy percentage always getting bust by
too much abrasion. The process is also non-selective. Everything in the washing machines gets abraded, including the metal buttons and rivets on the jeans as well as the drum of the washing machine. This significantly reduces the quality of the products and the life of the equipment, and increases production expenses. Environmental regulations have put severe stress on the textiles industry to control pollution by wastewater treatment and disposing of the slush (used pumic).
A technique known as “Bio-stoning” was introduced in Europe in start of 1990â€™s and then quickly adopted in rest of the world the following year. Bio-stoning is an action of enzymes to garment similar to pumice stone. Enzymes have been used in the textiles industry to remove starch and wax residues from raw materials and to give fabric a uniform finish.. The enzymes used in biostoning are known as “cellulases.”
The gene for the cellulase enzyme was first isolated from the fungus Trichoderma reesei and then put into bacteria for mass production.Â Cellulases digest cellulose, the main component of cotton and other natural plant fibers. Cellulose is a long, glucose polymer used as structural support in plant cell walls. Cellulases attacks the exposed cellulose on the exterior of each cotton fiber and break some of the molecular bonds so that only the dye particles are loosened from the denim surface while the interior of the cotton fibers are left intact.
In the early days, one problem with biostoning was “back staining.” Back staining happens when loosened dye particles redeposit onto the back surface of the fabric. But by maintaining the pH of the wash load between 6-8, it has successfully been controlled.Â Today, biostoning can achieve the same effect as traditional stone washing, but without the damaging abrasion of the fabric and equipment.
Cellulases and other enzymes used in the textile industry are available in a number of different varieties, each with its own special properties. This added dimension gives fashion designers the flexibility to create a wider range of shades and finishing effects. By selectively modifying the surface of the denim without damaging the fabric integrity, designers have a more liberal pallet to create new fashions possibilities. For example, colorful logos can be printed onto metal buttons or leather labels without the fear of them being abraded away by pumice. And intricate designer accents made of non-cellulose fibers such as nylon or polyester will remain even after cellulase treatment.
Biostoning is by far the most economical and environmentally friendly way to treat denim.
- Waste, pollution, quality variability, and imperfections are all reduced. And unlike pumice or acid, which get used up during the wash, enzymes can be recycled.
- A small dose of enzymes can replace several dozen pounds of pumice stones. So productivity can be increased by 30-50% because the space formerly taken up by the pumice stones in the washing machines can now be filled with more jeans.
- And there is no need for the time-consuming and expensive task of removing stone fragments from the jeans once the wash is done.
- There is also no pumice dust to endanger employee health or gritty sediment to clog drains. Nearly all jeans made today are finished by biostoning.
In stone wash, pumice stone is used in washer with garments to create effect. To enhance the effect of stone some time enzyme is added. usually conditions are mild for enzyme wash. But in some cases hot bath (temp. 40 C to 60 C) is used for enzyme wash
General Recipe Steps
- Stoning and/or Bio-stoning
- Soap Rinsing
- Softner Application
There are always handsome chances of deposition of indigo back to garment during desizing. To avoid this phenomenon, some agents are used, classified as Anti-Backstaining Agents (ABS). These ABS are derivatives of detergents and act as leveling agents
In case of sand blasting you may need to apply some oxidizing agent to improve the effects of fading.
One method is to apply Hydrogen peroxide in washer, that removes the unfixed indigo partials from blasted area and make the contrast more bright and visible. Mild quantity of peroxide didnâ€™t affect the shade much but rather act as a cleaning agent.
some cases Potassium Permanganate is applied on blasted area with spray gun of paint brush. This is commonly used where the fading effect is desired to high intensity. As compare to peroxide this method will result much brightness and whiteness.
It is always recommended to apply soap in hot bath. High temperature not only increases the penetration of water particles to fabric but also the activity rate of soap molecules.

Tom Six's "controversial" horror film, as the PR push would have it, is that THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE constitutes poor movie-making on almost any level you might want to address -- beginning with plot, pace, and simple logic. The performances are as good as the film allows, and the visuals get the job done. And that's about it for minor praise. The first half hour is tiresome, repetitive and boring; the second is standard horror movie stuff; and the third is so filled with ridiculous, unbelievable, over-the-top nonsense (and I am not even referring to the nitwit "title" character) that I should think any real sci-fi/fan-
tasy/horror buff will be rolling his or her eyes in utter contempt.
that in this week's Village Voice, which gave the garbage an entire page (this, when movie coverage is dwindling so badly!) -- talk about the film in terms usually reserved for Godard and Antonioni. Which would be fine, if the movie got its basics even close to correct. But how can you discuss a film in a hi-falutin' manner when the filmmaker first bores you to near-death and then offers characters so stupid that they won't use the phone that's right in front of them to try to call for help, or later, when they've been "monster-ized" don't try to attack their torturer when the opportunities seem evident and many. The capper, however (spoiler ahead, though there really isn't much to spoil in a movie where the "idea" of the monster is the only thing that makes it remotely special): once the worm turns and the victim attacks, he wounds rather than kills, so that, you know, Freddy, Jason, Leatherface (or in this case, Centipede's minor-league monster creator) can rise again. And what about those dumber-than-you've-ever-seen policemen? Don't ask.
Salo. Yet Pasolini, at least, made sure we wallowed in the shit. The Human Centipede is very nearly pristine. Once we get the idea of what's going on, our fevered brains can make all the nasty connections. In fact, the "Centipede" itself, once you get past its shared digestive tract, is a rather cute little concoction. The big question is: Why would any mad scientist worth his salt want to come up with this?
TrustMovies never says "never" about watching another movie from even those filmmakers whose work he has loathed the most. A few years back Mr. Six, shown at left, made a movie called Gay (known over here as Gay in Amsterdam) which, as the press material for Centipede informs us, was also controversial and starred "a lot of famous Dutch actors." Maybe we'll rent that one -- which Netflix members have rated not quite up to the "didn't like it" level, while IMDB viewers gave it between two and three stars (out of a possible ten) before we tackle the Centipede's sequel, which is, we are told, already in production.
Udo Kier imitation, the two girls (below) babble brightly and then scream loudly, the Japanese fellow (at bottom) gets in touch with the heritage of his culture of shame, and the cops are macho dumbos. No one rises above a script empty of characterization,
wit and suspense.
ample of great premise and super follow-through in the thriller genre, see Wes Craven/Carl Ellsworth's Red Eye.) I guess Six's envelope "push" left certain critics free to gush about the "ideas" on display, even if they do pretty much create these ideas out of whole cloth.
IFC Center. For the where and how of On-Demand, click here.
Just kidding. This shot, under the heading Giant Caterpillar Found in University Dorm Room arrived yesterday via those folk who circulate "humor" over the web. I must admit, it's funnier than anything in Mr Six's movie. Maybe it'll inspire him in a new direction....

Budweiser 1933 Repeal Reserve Amber Lager is the latest national release by Anheuser Busch InBev.
According to Anheuser Busch, brewery founder Adolphus Busch created 1933 Repeal Reserve Amber Lager prior to the American Prohibition in 1920. The beer never traveled far from Bud’s original home of Saint Louis before alcohol was banned.
With the anniversary of Repeal coming up on December 5th plus the holidays looming, Anheuser Busch is launching Budweiser 1933 Repeal Reserve Amber Lager. The amber lager is lightly hopped, and caramel malt-forward. Repeal Reserve will also be packaged in vintage “stubby” 12-ounce bottles.
“We are excited to mark the upcoming holiday season and the anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition with this new brew based on a forgotten recipe. While Budweiser Repeal Reserve is a great tasting Amber Lager, it also tells the story of an important part of our history and gives reason for celebration.” – Ricardo Marques, VP of Budweiser
The official launch of Budweiser 1933 Repeal Reserve Amber Lager is slated for October 25th in New York City. Th brewery has partnered with LYFT to bring a fleet of 1930’s cars for safe rides to the launch party.
1933 Repeal Reserve is available in 12-ounce bottles and draft for a limited time.
Style: Amber Lager
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft.
Anheuser Busch made some major cuts in their “High End” today, eliminating nearly 400 jobs.
Sometime around 10 pm last evening, representatives for The High End, including High End district managers started getting calendar invites for phone conferences with Budweiser Human Resources. This morning, the ax started to drop.
In a conference call with Alex Medicis, the Vice President of Sales for AB InBev North America, (concluding just after 3:45 pm this afternoon) most of the employees working with The High End have been let go.
According to Medicis, Anheuser-Busch is rethinking the business model surrounding the High End, centering more on efficiency. Cuts were made coast to coast.
Per Mike Seabaugh, High End Sales Rep, AB’s explanation centered around brewery acquisitions. “Basically, they’ve bought quite a few breweries and with those purchases came a bunch of employees. They don’t have room for us anymore”, he said.
The High End won’t comment on the exact number of employees, speaking on background “that less than 2% of the 18,000 employees have in North America were impacted.” According to that math, that’s around 360 employees.
It was also mentioned that after meeting with various wholesalers around the country, the general consensus is that the employees and managers for The High End were superfluous.
Beer Street Journal is told that employees that work directly for breweries purchased for Anheuser-Busch’s High End portfolio – Goose Island, 10 Barrel, Elysian, Blue Point, Wicked Weed, Four Peaks, Devil’s Backbone, Breckenridge, and Karbach, will retain their positions at the respective breweries.
Editors Note: A representative with The High End contacted Beer Street Journal about the above piece. More information has not been provided. (4:45pm)
This is a developing story. This article will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
When in doubt, take a shot a craft beer. That seems to be Anheuser Busch’s mentality in the latest advertising spots for Bud Light.
In the upcoming TV spots, if you are overwhelmed by craft beer’s extensive and “unusual” concoctions, Bud Light will be waiting, with its four ingredients – water, rice, barley and hops. No need to look for fruit, spices or even lobster here.
The new TV promos titled “Bottle” and “Complex” will air on August 10th during the Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears preseason game. The push promotes Bud Light as “America’s Light Lager.”
This latest marketing approach comes as big brand light beers like Bud Light are in decline. According to Beer Marketer’s Insights, Bud Light was down 8.4% for 12 weeks thru July 16 in IRI multi-outlet and convenience in a Q2 conference call. Despite the downturn, the company states the beer is considered an “underdog” in beer circles, yet A-B states 20,000 Bud Lights are sold every minute, every day of the year.
This may not be the Peach Pumpkin Ale brouhaha of the Super Bowl in 2015, but it’s still interesting to see a company that spends over a billion dollars acquiring craft breweries take a shot at the beers they create.
These spots, and other creative content focus on the quality and simplicity Bud Light delivers with its four essential ingredients. The new creative takes consumers to the heart of the brewing process, showing how Bud Light takes the time to make sure every beer goes down smooth and crisp, so it can be shared and enjoyed among friends.
Despite declining volume this summer, Bud Light is still the number #1 beer sold in America, followed by Coors Light.
Today some American craft breweries took to social media to voice their concerns about another Anheuser-Busch maneuver. This time it has to do with hops.
We have verified the facts amidst the social media outrage. The news emerged in a memo from ZA Hops, an independent hop distributer. ZA Hops previously had access to and sold surplus South African hops, grown by farms under the SAB umbrella. Confirmed by Paul Gatza of the Brewers Association, ZA Hops was informed that surplus hops from SAB Hop Farms in South Africa would no longer be sold outside of the AB InBev network. The memo they sent out included the statement:
I was informed by SAB Hop Farms (part of ABI’s purchase of SAB-Miller) that ABI are commandeering all the hops that were to be allocated for distribution to North American craft brewers. The goal is to sell the hops internally to their acquired (former) craft breweries, even though they have not been able to sell all the hops as of yet. Regardless, they refuse to let US craft brewers buy any CY 2017 hops believing this will afford them a competitive advantage in an increasingly competitive marketplace. – ZA Hops (Full memo below)
This isn’t entirely surprising since the acquisition of SABMiller, including SAB Hop Farms, occurred in the fall of 2015 thereby giving ownership to AB InBev. However, many breweries have lashed out today at the news that they will not have access to purchase SAB grown South African hops this harvest.
This move by AB InBev opens an interesting discussion however. While they are completely within their rights to use their own assets (hops in this case), within their own breweries, and restrict competitors (North American craft breweries), it has incited the industry into some interesting reactions.
The biggest chord struck seems to be a general fear at the shear size and power of AB. Following the shocking news this week about Wicked Weed, the craft beer industry has to feel like no one is safe. To follow that purchase with the loss of previously accessible hop varieties, once again to AB, can’t feel good.
It seems a scary pattern of vertical integration becoming clearer and clearer each year. Distributers, craft breweries, even home brew supply shops to name a few. Now they have cut off an entire hop region from anyone outside of AB InBev.
We find ourselves asking, how far will this go? Will AB InBev try to vertically integrate even further and expand their North American hop sector as well? This week has made it pretty obvious that even those we thought would never sell, do.
America’s craft sector has made amazing leaps and bounds with hundreds of new craft breweries founded every year. In fact this year, the U.S. hit over 5000 craft breweries during a generation that is encouraged to “drink local” and “drink craft.” It’s become pretty clear that AB has noticed and is waging war. They started quietly at first, but this week has been pretty loud to the ears of craft beer lovers.
At the end of the day, the news has been rough on craft beer this week. It has raised a lot of anger, fears, and questions. But frankly, what did we expect from AB? For them to lay back and watch their percentage of the beer market shrink year after year and say, “well its only fair, at least the people have choices?”
No, this move is exactly what should be expected from Anheuser-Busch. It falls right in line with historically how they do business. How they grew so large and became such a powerhouse in the first place. It’s smart business. As a publicly traded company, their responsibility is to their shareholders, not their competitors.
But does it suck for the breweries we know and love? Absolutely. Does it suck for all who support independent craft brewers and loved those yummy South African hopped beers? Absolutely.
FULL: ZA Hops Memo:
“Along with the news late last week of ABI buying Wicked Weed, I was informed by SAB Hop Farms (part of ABI’s purchase of SAB-Miller) that ABI are commandeering all the hops that were to be allocated for distribution to North American craft brewers. The goal is to sell the hops internally to their acquired (former) craft breweries, even though they have not been able to sell all the hops as of yet. Regardless, they refuse to let US craft brewers buy any CY 2017 hops believing this will afford them a competitive advantage in an increasingly competitive marketplace. So unfortunately, there will be no CY 2017 hops available from ZA Hops. Whether they decide to sell to the craft beer market independently is unclear at this point should they not be able to allocate all the hops internally. This is a shocking turn of events, though commensurate with ABI’s business practices, and devastating to my company – yet another blow to craft beer.”

By Cesare Rotundo-Oracle on Oct 22, 2012
Oracle Open World (OOW) earlier this month has been a great occasion to discuss with our BPM customers. It was interesting to hear definite patterns emerging from those conversations: “BPM is a journey”, “experiences to share”, “our organization now understands what BPM is”, and my favorite (with some caveats): “BPM is like wine tasting, once you start, you want to try more”. These customers have started their journey, climbed up the learning curve, and reached a vantage point that allows them to see their next BPM destination. They see the next few processes they are going to tackle and improve with BPM.
These processes/destinations target both horizontal processes where BPM replaces or coordinates manual activities, and critical industry processes that the company needs to improve to compete and deliver increasing value. Each new destination generates value, allowing the organization to reduce the cost of manual processes that were not supported by apps/custom development, and increase efficiency of end-to-end processes partially covered by apps/custom dev.
The question we wanted to answer is how to help organizations experience deeper success with BPM, by increasing their awareness of the potential for reaching new targets, and equipping them with the right tools. We decided that we needed to identify destinations, and plot routes to show the fastest path to those destinations. In the end we want to enable customers to reach “Process Excellence”: continuously set new targets and consistently and efficiently reach them.
The result is Oracle Process Accelerators (PA), solutions built using the rich functionality in Oracle BPM Suite. PAs offers a rapidly expanding list of exciting destinations. Our launch of the latest installment of Process Accelerators at Oracle Open World includes new Industry-focused solutions such as Public Sector Incident Reporting and Financial Services Loan Origination, and improved other horizontal PAs, including Travel Request Management, Document Routing and Approval, and Internal Service Requests. Just before OOW we had extended the Oracle deployment of Travel Request Management, riding the enthusiastic response from early adopters among travelers (employees), management and support (approvers). “Getting there first” means being among the first to extract value from the PA approach, while acquiring deeper insights into the customers’ perspective. This is especially noteworthy when it comes to PAs, a set of solutions designed to be quickly deployed and iteratively improved by customers.
The OOW launch has generated immediate feedback from customers, non-customers, analysts, and partners. They all confirmed that both Business and IT at organizations benefit from PAs when it comes to exploring the potential for BPM to improve their business processes. PAs help customers visualize what can be done with BPM, and PAs are made to be extended: you can see your destination, change the path to fit your needs, and deploy.
We're discovering new destinations/processes that the market wants us to support, generic enough across industries and within industries. We'll keep on building sets of requirements, deliver functional design, construct solutions using Oracle BPM, and test them not only functionally but for performance, scalability, clustering, making them robust, product-quality. Delivering BPM solutions with product-grade quality is the equivalent of following a tried-and-tested path on a map.
Do you know of existing destinations in your industry? If yes, we can draw a path to innovative processes together.

It’s a Roll Tide Kind of Day Against the Bulldogs, Alabama Athletics Claim Two Top-5 Wins
Saturday was a historic day at the University of Alabama.
At 3:00 p.m., the school's No. 3 ranked football team played against the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship. Going into the game, UGA was the most dominant team in all of college football, led by one of the best defenses the game has seen in quite some time.
At 7:00 p.m., the school's No. 16 ranked basketball team played against the No. 3 Gonzaga Bulldogs in the Battle in Seattle. Gonzaga had more five-star recruits than Bama could ever imagine having. In terms of ranking, Gonzaga has been the "Alabama" of basketball schools over the past few years.
24 hours ago, Alabama football and basketball fans feared that both of their teams would lose in these underdog matchups. However, that was not the case.
Alabama wasn't in Tuscaloosa for either game. Both games were considered neutral site games. However, the opposing schools had more fans in each stadium.
ESPN announced that Alabama is the first school to beat AP top-5 teams in college football and basketball in the same day.
In sports, records are broken very often. However, this one will likely last for a long time.

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo October Blog Hop. Stampin Up demonstrators from around the world will share with you their projects using this month’s color combinations which are: Mossy Meadow, Bermuda Bay and Smokey Slate. For my project I used the Under My Umbrella stamp set.
I choose this stamp set for it had been raining here in the past couple of weeks. Some days, it would drizzle just enough to mess up your day.
The card base is Mossy Meadow (happy that Stampin’ Up brought this color back).
I stamped the rain drops in Smokey Slate. I wasn’t paying attention of the direction of the rain drops, so some are stamped upside down. Makes my card unique – don’t you think?
The umbrella and rain boots (Galoshes or wellies) images was stamped on the Bermuda Bay Brights Designer Series Paper. Punched out the umbrella and fussy cut the rain boots. Wink of Stella was applied to the polka dots. Prior to adhering the rain boots, I stamped the small flower image and colored it with Bermuda Bay and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends.
I thought I would make this an encouragement card and the sentiment is just right. We all could use some type of encouragement these days.
If you reside in the United States and do not have a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me at
I would be delighted to assist you in your crafting endeavors.
If you could kindly leave a comment, I would greatly appreciate it.
Until next time

Cheats, Tips, and Tricks
There are a variety of cheats, tips, and tricks that you can use to improve your performance.

You can also practice your skills by playing games against other people. You can do this by downloading online games or playing games against people on your phone. You can also play against your friends and family members and compare scores on the leaderboard.
Another way to improve your skill is to download a game that has different levels of difficulty and then play through each level at least once. This will help you to not only gain experience with each game but also improve your skills as a player. There are so many ways you can improve as a player!
The Shortcuts You Need
One of the best ways to boost your game is by adopting shortcuts. For instance, you might want to use your phone’s volume button to jump or shake your device to skip levels. These are great ways to improve your gaming skills faster.
There are plenty of other shortcuts available on some devices, too. For example, some phones allow you to use the volume button to move up or down. Others allow you to alter the size of your character with a simple swipe.
If you want to learn more about shortcuts for your phone, Google is a great source of information. You can find out how to execute commands on keyboards, too. For example, on Android, you might be able to press the “N” button on your keyboard to jump or press the “O” button to open your inventory box.
Being at the top of your game means having the best possible skills and resources. These are all things you can develop with time, but it’s good to know what to look for in the meantime. You want to make sure you are using shortcuts for faster gaming.

This year, I told myself that I would enjoy what the year brings. When I was younger I always wanted to explore but being from a small town there wasn’t much for me to do but when I came to the city it kind of changed… but not really though.
I’d want to do certain things and explore places but the people I knew were wack and weren’t geeky like me. Going to fashion school, the people there were too much into what looks good and how to act and that wasn’t me.
My status quo wasn’t cool so I left and just spent my days inside. Don’t get it twisted though, I made my own fun, I’ve got a very “do what I want by myself” type of person. If I want to do it, I do it in my own time, I don’t wait for anyone.
There were a lot of events going on in the city that I could’ve done but I would either miss it or just miss it by like a day or so. Last year, I made sure to check out the events I wanted to go to beforehand and made sure to write them down on my calendar.
The first event I planned on going to was BookCon. When I first heard of BookCon, it was actually mentioned on the show Younger (a show all about a woman who acts younger so she can work with a publishing company) and I actually thought it was fake until I googled it.
Watching videos on youtube to see what people’s experiences were, reading about it on other people’s blogs and it seemed like so much fun! So I bought my tickets and waited for the date to arrive.
The week of BookCon I was excited, then I found out that Abbi Jacobson from Broad City was going to be there and I was astonished!
As some of you may know, I made a post about her called Homage Tuesday: The Women of 2018 and plus her show Broad City, was playing on repeat on my tv for like a month straight! I literally counted down the days for BookCon to arrive and then it did!
My husband and I woke up late, which wasn’t intended but it happens. We got dressed, got in the car, and headed to the city. Once we got to the city (because we’re only in The Bronx) at about 12:15 and couldn’t find parking, we had to pay for parking (which sucked because they charged us an event rate).
As we were walking to the building, I started to get a little wobbly-legged! Once my husband and I got our tickets scanned we (I mean me lol) grabbed a free tote bag and both of us grabbed badge lanyards for our badges so they can be scanned. When we walked inside, it was fascinating!
There were so many things to look at and people everywhere, it was kind of annoying at first (New Yorkers hate being in crowded places, that’s why we really don’t go to 42nd street) and plus we didn’t know where to start. On our way inside, we saw a sign that Omar Epps was a surprise guest and going to be signing his new book From Fatherless to Fatherhood.
My husband was excited about that, he loved his movie Juice and In Too Deep. He was planning on arriving at 2:30 so we had plenty of time to look around before both our people showed up.
Before I came to BookCon and with me doing some research, I tried to have at least a plan for things to see and places to stop by. But when you’re actually there, there’s so much going on that those plans go straight out the window.
On the top of my list was Abbi Jacobson speaking at her panel but by the time I got there, it already started and I couldn’t find where the panel rooms were. But then… it happened, just as I was walking by to check The Novel Suspects I saw her standing there!
I stop and nearly had a panic attack. Of course, my husband was wondering what was going on and before he could ask me, I jumped so quick in that line that all you saw was a shadow. I was so eager to see Abbi just standing there and being beautiful and goofy and glowing as ever!
These are little videos my phone makes before it takes the picture, there’s no sound but I just love showing them. Once Abbi signed my book and we had taken our gorgeous pictures we rushed over to see Omar Epps. He had shown up early and by the time we got to his booth, there was already a long ass line.
The line moved somewhat quickly though, and I was still just as wobbly-legged, especially after leaving Abbi’s booth but him being so sweet eased my nerves. We had a nice conversation about his new movie Traffik and he asked me what I thought.
We had a short talk but in that moment I told him I was sad he died in the movie, he told me, “Sometimes we have to die for the people we love.” Then we took our picture, I also have videos of Omar Epps as well as pictures. In the picture below you can see my husband in the back (his wearing the pink shirt).
Even though meeting these two was the biggest highlight of the evening the books that BookCon offered were just as marvelous too.
Before BookCon I received an email saying the there would be a booth for Comic Con 2018. I definitely had to check them out (especially since that’s the next event I plan on going to).
There was a man that was there, his name was Ivan Brandon and he was promoting his comic book and out of the books that were there, I really wanted a comic book.
There were so many selections but I’ve always wanted to purchase a comic book. I’m not sure what the company name is but I know the name of the comic is called Black Cloud and Ivan even signed it for me too!
I haven’t read the whole comic book yet because I’ve been a little busy but I have read the first two pages. I love all the colors and the theme of what the comic is so far. Another company I found pretty incredible is a company called Illustory Junior by Lulu Jr which is an illustration company.
They gave out these envelopes and inside were papers and on those papers, you can draw your own creations. Once you’ve filled the pages with your illustrations you can send it back to the company and they will then turn it into a book and ship it back to you. I had to have one of these!
My own illustration book? How dope is that. On the booth as well as the papers inside the envelope said it was for children, so I wasn’t trying to make myself look stupid and asked if adults could submit their ideas as well? The guy I was talking to said, of course, there’s no age limit and that made me relieved.
There were even companies there for adults such as Brewers Publications where you can make your own beer at home. I’ve always been curious about how to make wine and beer at home but I’ve also heard that it can be dangerous to make these things at home. What Brewers Publication does is tell you how to produce beer in a safe and easy way (they even have IPA which my husband loves)!
I had so much fun at BookCon and even though I’m posting this a day late I’m actually trying to start a business. My mind easily gets off track so while I was writing this post I was doing research my business and getting it together. I’m thinking about whether or not I’ll post it on my blog.
I probably will so you guys can check it out and all that jazz but I’ll definitely be promoting it EVERYWHERE lol. My blog and my business will be different though, so I’m not sure how that will work actually, I’ll figure it out though. I hope that you enjoyed this post, comment down below if you ever heard of BookCon or if you went. Later!
With Love & Sweetness,
P.S I still am planning on doing my podcast, I’ve actually received some questions about that. It’s just my computer broke and my mic isn’t compatible with the Chromebook. It will be coming back but in the near future, I just have to handle other things first lol, later!

LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant scored 28 points, Andrew Bynum had 14 points and 19 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers roared to a 30-point lead early in the second quarter before holding on for a 103-92 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.

Have you ever wondered what exactly a clutch purse is? Well, let us break it down for you. A clutch purse is a small, handheld bag that typically does not have any straps or handles. It is called a clutch because you literally clutch it in your hand. These stylish and versatile accessories are perfect for a night out or a special occasion when you only need to carry your essentials like your phone, keys, and wallet. So, whether you’re attending a fancy party or just want to add a touch of elegance to your outfit, a clutch purse is the perfect accessory to complete your look!
What Is a Clutch Purse
A clutch purse is a small, handheld bag that is designed to be carried under the arm or in the hand. It is typically slim and sleek in design, made to hold only a few essential items such as a wallet, phone, keys, and lipstick. Clutch purses are popular for formal events or evenings out when you want to carry just the essentials and add a touch of elegance to your outfit.
Definition of a Clutch Purse
A clutch purse can be defined as a compact and stylish handbag that lacks straps or handles. It is meant to be clutched in the hand, hence the name “clutch.” Unlike larger purses or shoulder bags, a clutch purse is designed to be minimalist and sleek in appearance, allowing the focus to be on the outfit and the wearer’s personal style.
History and Evolution
The history of clutch purses dates back centuries. In ancient times, both men and women carried small pouches to hold their personal belongings. These early purse-like objects were often made of fabric or leather and were secured with a drawstring or flap. As time progressed, the design and purpose of the clutch purse evolved.
During the 1920s, the “flapper” era, clutch purses gained popularity among women. These purses were often adorned with beads, sequins, or embroidery, reflecting the glamour and opulence of the era. In the following decades, clutch purses continued to evolve in terms of design, materials used, and functionality.
Today, clutch purses have become a staple accessory in every fashion-conscious individual’s wardrobe. They are available in a wide variety of styles, from classic and elegant to bold and contemporary, catering to different tastes and preferences.
Varieties of Clutch Purses
Clutch purses come in various styles and designs to suit different occasions and personal aesthetics. Some of the common types of clutch purses include:
- Envelope Clutch: This style resembles an envelope and usually does not have a closure, much like a traditional envelope. It is sleek and sophisticated, making it perfect for formal events.
- Box Clutch: As the name suggests, this type of clutch has a box-like structure, often made of hard materials such as acrylic or metal. Box clutches can be embellished with decorative elements and can add a statement to any outfit.
- Frame Clutch: A frame clutch features a metal or plastic frame that acts as a closure mechanism. It gives the purse a structured and vintage-inspired look.
- Wristlet: A wristlet is a clutch that comes with a small strap or loop that can be worn around the wrist. It offers the convenience of carrying the clutch hands-free while still maintaining its elegant design.
These are just a few examples of the wide range of clutch purse styles available. Each style offers a unique aesthetic and purpose, allowing individuals to choose a clutch that complements their personal style and the occasion.
Materials Used in Clutch Purses
Clutch purses can be made from a variety of materials, each providing a different look and feel. Some common materials used in the manufacturing of clutch purses include:
- Leather: Leather is a popular choice for clutch purses due to its durability and classic appeal. It can range from smooth, polished leather to more textured options like suede or embossed leather.

- Mix Materials: Don’t be afraid to mix different materials when styling your clutch purse. For a modern twist, pair an acrylic clutch with a metallic or leather ensemble.
- Embrace Embellishments: If your outfit is relatively simple, use a clutch purse with embellishments to add visual interest and personality. Beaded or embroidered clutches can bring an extra touch of glamour and uniqueness to your look.
- Experiment with Prints: Clutch purses in bold prints can make a statement and become the focal point of your ensemble. Pair them with solid-colored outfits to let the prints shine.

It’s Tuesday and I haven’t posted a dessert recipe yet. I have to remedy that situation.
So here’s a really simple way to upgrade a very simple chocolate cake and turn it into a cream cheese topped cake that will have everyone oohing and aahing. And while you may need to use two bowls for this, you don’t need a mixer and it’s super simple.
I adapted this recipe from my friend Julie’s wonderful Black Bottomed Cupcake recipe, that I’ve been making for years. Like many of my adaptations, this one originates from laziness. When I got tired of filling cupcake liners with two layers of batter each, I decided to see if the same recipe would work as a whole cake. It did, and this is the result. Of course, you can make this as cupcakes if you’d like.
BLACK BOTTOMED CHEESE CAKE
240g (8oz) cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
180 g (6 oz) chocolate chip (semi-sweet or white)
1 cup sugar
1½ cups all purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup cold water
How to do it
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and sugar until well combined. Add the cream cheese and salt and mix till smooth. Mix in the chocolate chips and set aside.
3. Mix all the dry cake ingredients in a large bowl. Pour all the liquid ingredients on top of the dry mixture, and mix till combined.
4. Line a 26cm (10 inch) spring form pan with baking paper and grease with non-stick spray. Pour the chocolate cake mixture into the pan. Then spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the cake, spreading it evening across the top of the batter.
5. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the cheese part starts browning and a toothpick inserted into the cake part comes out clean.

MAKKUM – KM Yachtbuilders has launched the expedition yacht Pelagic-77 and fitted it with two carbon masts. Called ‘Vinson of Antarctica,’ the 23.5m yacht is named after the highest mountain on the south pole continent. The yacht will be used for Antarctic charters and private cruising.
KM Yachtbuilders has more than 30 years of experience in building and finishing aluminum custom sailing yachts. It also supplies aluminum hulls for sailing and motor yachts up to 30m and aluminum parts for Royal Huisman and Feadship superyachts.
The yard started on the Pelagic-77 in mid-2019 and says finishing will take a few more weeks. Next are North Sea trial runs. After the handover, the yacht will first go to Norway. Later in the year, it will sail to its homeport of Puerto Williams in Chile.
The boat was drawn by Tony Castro Yacht Design and renowned yachtsman Skip Novak is a representative of the Pelagic Yachts charter company.
“This expedition ship was conceived and designed for high latitude expedition trips,” says Novak. “That means a high degree of self-reliance, practical ease while sailing and, of course, fitting into the Pelagic philosophy, i.e., simple systems that can be easily maintained even in the far-flung areas without specialist help.”
The modern, schooner-style yacht has a lifting keel in a fixed keel box. The sail area is distributed over the two masts. All sail systems, such as winches and jib rollers, can also be operated manually. The yacht has twin 150HP Yanmar engines. The yacht can accommodate eight guests and 3 crew members.
The large pilothouse has a comfortable living area. Upfront are six double cabins and two communal toilets and showers. With bamboo furniture, the style of the interior is light.

Can Tinnitus Make You Deaf?
For most people, we find that as we age, we incur a varying quantity of age-related hearing loss. It is different from person to person as our lifestyle, and our genetics contribute to the longevity of our hearing. The age-related loss usually occurs in the high-frequency bandwidth as this part of the inner ear is more prone to wear and tear. This is also the most common frequency bandwidth within which tinnitus occurs.
When you go to have your hearing tested, it is conducted in a specialised, soundproof booth. In these booths, you will be able to hear the tinnitus far more clearly. It is in these laboratory conditions that we have seen clients, who are suffering from tinnitus battle to hear high frequency sounds that we have played for them as part of the multiple tests conducted. The tinnitus basically masks their ability to hear the test sounds from the hearing test.
So essentially, the answer to “Will tinnitus affect my hearing?” is yes.
Results After Treatment
We are getting some very positive comments and really encouraging feedback from our clients who have had their tinnitus successfully treated through tinnitus treatment.
A recent client has been using the Dr Hodge’s tinnitus treatment [insert hyperlink to product page] for a couple of months. The client’s tinnitus was the usual high frequency type. This treatment works by acoustically desensitising the brain to the specific frequency of their tinnitus. As a result, as their tinnitus improved, their hearing ability at the higher thresholds was no longer masked by the tinnitus and their hearing improved. In fact, all along, their hearing loss was only due to their tinnitus.
We have enquired about this with a number of our patients. They talk of a greater appreciation of their hearing, and it is a very welcome outcome for them.
The improvement of the hearing is, of course, a secondary gain, albeit a wonderful second gain. The primary objective of Dr Hodge’s treatment is to relieve the troublesome symptoms of tinnitus, thereby improving your quality of life.
Yes, tinnitus can affect your hearing, but it tends to be in the higher frequency bandwidth as that is the bandwidth area in which tinnitus manifests. The loss of hearing is just one of the factors that lead to a reduced quality of life from tinnitus. You may also have a loss of sleep, headaches, an impact on work productivity and an impact on personal relationships.
Contact us today if you have any further questions about tinnitus, its treatment and sleeping with tinnitus.
You can order Dr John Charles Hodge’s (Ear Nose and Throat Specialist) affordable treatment of tinnitus here. We are currently hosting a free 30-day trial! Use the promo code ‘FREEMONTH’.
