I like where your head is at OP. We shouldn’t do something simply because it’s the popular method, and breaking the mold can often lead to a hot new trend. There’s also something to be said for keeping things simple at home, whatever that means for you personally. Keep experimenting!
Call me dull but when the family’s away, I love to tidy up first, then do all the things I would normally do (w/out distraction). However, I also turn up the stereo to get my groove on, and of course order dinner from a place they never let me. Either Chinese dumplings, Detroit-style pizza, street-style Thai, or Texas-style barbecue.
Michter’s Rye neat, martini’s and G&Ts w/ Freeland Spirits forest gin, and Fever Tree light tonic. It’s been a rough week 😂
