Roller coasters have always thrilled me. I’m lucky enough to say I live less than an hour away from the best roller coaster park in the world, Cedar Point.

I read many stories about Mr. Dali and after reading stories about him being overly flamboyant and all into himself, there was only one type of drink that […]
The following recipe was posted by StriperGuy on June 28, 2009 on chow.com Ms. Earhart had many accomplishments as an early aviator and had many firsts. To commemorate her solo flight she succeeded in on this day in 1935, it’s only justified that I would find a drink that would meet the feat. When I […]
