Tried my hand at a nonalcoholic version of a gin fizz, using a zeroproof gin and a shrub instead of lemon juice. Came out 10x better than I expected!

Gorgeous sky walking out of Wegmans tonight in Rochester, making up for the price of eggs and kombucha!

Lunar New Year celebration today at Happy Gut Sanctuary was absolutely slammed! Very cool to see so many people out supporting small businesses.

They bring in pan dulce twice weekly, and you’re not gonna find these too many other spots.

Mexican grocery stores in our region are struggling right now. Hernandez in Geneva says their sales are down 90% as even legal residents are afraid to go out just to buy groceries. Support these places. There’s ssooo much greatness here. (Pictured is the Sodus location which I was at today.)

Was in Skaneateles today for the Winterfest and obviously I had to stop by the Patisserie for a dozen loaves of stretch bread!!

Having Pandamonium Coffee and Jen’s Artisan Bread side-by-side and walking distance to my house is a thing of beauty!

The newest nonalcoholic beer in New York State!! This is brewed down near NYC then sent to Minnesota to have the alcohol removed, then back to New York. Just one reason why nonalcoholic options aren’t cheaper just because there’s no alcohol in them!
