Learning how to cook a dish is a lot like figuring out a very complex puzzle. It’s not if-then conditional all the time – linear. the puzzle is quite dynamic and if it were a shape I’d say it’s a sphere, with a lot of forces coming into factor. You probably start with memory -memory of …
Beautiful sherry cask Yamazaki in Ginza, Japan. Average price $2484/bottle. Didn’t know. Drank it like a shot. LAWL. Damn! almost as expensive as the taxis in Tokyo! Link to some description here for the nerds.
