Latest shaving oil recipe - Citrus blend


Here's a new shaving oil recipe I brewed up this morning.

  • 1 ounce Jojoba oil
  • 3 drops orange oil
  • 3 drops lemon oil
  • 1 drop tea tree oil

I used one of the some small dropper bottles I got from The Container Store. I'll try it out on Tuesday.

Cafe Mocha recipe


I just got a new Keurig B60 coffee maker, and came up with a fantastic recipe for a decaf cafe mocha, rich, smooth, and tasty -- perfect for spring evening

  • Put two tablespoons (one ounce, give or take) of half-and-half in a coffee mug
  • Add two heaping teaspoons of European Deep Dark Drinking Chocolate powder, which I picked up at Cost Plus World Market this afternoon. I imagine any high end powdered drinking chocolate would work - Godiva, Ghirardelli, etc.
  • Put the mug under the spout, and brew a K-cup of Timothy's Decaffeinated Columbian coffee, or the medium-to-bold coffee of your choice.
  • Stir thoroughly, and enjoy.

Risk


To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and
  dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because
  the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing,
  has nothing, is nothing.

- William Arthur Ward (1921-1994)
