Here’s the review I left on Google Maps:

Was fortunate enough to have a meal at Cured on the evening of January 3rd. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating to dietary restrictions and a picky six year old.

I started with the mushroom soup which was pleasantly earthy and slightly sweet. In fact, I’m still thinking about that soup. I also tried the catfish fingers which were light and crispy and paired with a wonderful mustard dipping sauce. Oh and the brussel sprouts. Nicely charred and tossed in a slightly sweet sauce.

My main course was the gnocchi in a coconut tikka masala. The gnocchi was cooked perfectly and the sauce was a pleasant surprise. Snow peas balanced out the dish keeping it from feeling heavy or monotonous as gnocchi can often be.

I stuck with wine for the evening (and the wine list is nicely curated) but the cocktails that others ordered all looked great and were enjoyed.

Looking forward to coming back next time I come through town.

Hello friends. Yearly reminder that TurboTax is a scam, and that most people don’t need to pay for tax software every year. There are lists on IRS.gov of legitimate sites where you can file your federal taxes for freee

The one I used last year was just as simple as turbo tax, but wasn’t trying to upsell me constantly.

I am drinking Guinness Draught by Guinness at Untappd at Home in .

Name: Guinness Draught
Brewery: Guinness
Style: Stout – Irish Dry
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 4.2%
IBU: 45
Brewer’s Notes: Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm. Settle. Breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward.

Unmistakeably GUINNESS, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between.

Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS.

Guinness Draught is sold in kegs, widget cans, and bottles. The ABV varies from 4.1 to 4.3%.

Guinness Extra Cold is the exact same beer only served through a super cooler at 3.5 °C

Untappd.

Hey, friends that work out regularly:

Please be kind to all the people starting a fitness journey over the next few weeks.

It's tough for many folk to get started, and being kind and helpful really helps everyone feel included. 👍🏿

Try not to complain about the NY resolution crowds. Instead, be happy that your gym will be solvent for another year!

Try not to get cranky about gym etiquette misses. Instead, take the opportunity to pass knowledge forward, with kindness! Someone taught you once.

Words for the year ahead borrowed from one long since passed…

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater…

Do not trouble your hearts overmuch with thought of the road tonight. Maybe the paths that you each shall tread are already laid before your feet, though you do not see them.”

-J.R.R. Tolkien
