Wine in the Sky

Having a few glasses of wine onboard an aircraft can be a wonderful, enriching, and overall fantastic experience. The movies the airline shows just seem to hit a little better after a little drink. Even the people sitting next to us appear to be far more interesting or far less annoying than usual. And above all else, a few glasses of wine and you’ll find yourself able to fall asleep faster. Of course, overdoing it can bring a unique set of problems, such as dehydration and inebriation, but alas, drinking responsibly while 30,000 feet above the ground can most definitely enhance your flying experience. Another point worth noting is that, unlike hard liquor, wine is meant to be enjoyed with food as the acids, sweetness, and approbation of wines served during a flight can dramatically improve your culinary dining experience itself. Drink responsibly and happy flights!

The Power of Coffee

Ah, coffee, the breakfast of champions! My favorite part of early morning rises! I mean who doesn’t fancy a deliciously warm, home-brewed cup, full of whatever flavors your pallet craves? Cream, sugar, cinnamon, chocolate, caramel, the list goes on, but no matter how you brew it, the first sip always speaks to the soul. I don’t know about you, but coffee has gotten me through a ton of late nights, early mornings, and days that don’t know when to end. This is why I wrote this little paragraph, to raise awareness about the true nectar of the gods! To give coffee the poetic recognition it deserves! To those like me who are regular coffee drinkers, you know firsthand that the feeling of waking up and grabbing a cup is exceptionally poetic in a multitude of ways. The ritualistic morning cup of coffee is a sacred moment for lots of people, myself obviously among them.

Bagels

I love bagels. They go great with so many things. Butter, jam, cream cheese, and they even work as the bread part of a sandwich. These delicious baked products are very popular in Poland and North America, but did you know that they originated mainly from Germany? Even though they’ve come from across the pond, bagel aficionados will tell you that New York is the king of all bagel cities, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better bagel shop than what the big apple has to offer. You can oftentimes find these tasty baked rings of bread with various toppings such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onions, and more. One popular kind of bagel has lox toppings, which is a salmon product with added cream cheese and other toppings, thereby making it a complete meal. As I end this blog, a quick question for you. What do you deserve in life that is also a type of bagel? The answer? Everything.

Cooking in the clouds

Have you ever cooked in the clouds? Watching the clouds trickle across the sky is like watching a TV episode that never airs reruns. It’s always new and original and you can never be sure of what the mysterious skies will show you next. Just like snowflakes, every cloud is different. You can lay out in your backyard and even though you know where you are, you can easily get lost in the clouds that sail by overhead. Oh luxurious cloud, with folds so soft and fair, swimming across the sky without the slightest care. Their fleeces are drenched in sunlight, while below the shadowy vale of cloud cover creeps ever slowly. If you can paint with all the colors of the wind surely you can cook with all the ingredients you can find hidden in the clouds.
