Went to a fancy whiskey bar and felt like a total imposter. Everyone was swirling and spouting tasting notes. Am I the only one who just likes the way it tastes?

Maybe you need to take a 'swirl' class lol....Don't worry about what they were doing or what you weren't. Just enjoy and perhaps learn a few things in the process. If you care to that is :)

I've been drinking whiskey for over a decade ..... Still looking for those damn notes of toffee, sour apple, creme brulee 🙄 everyone's talking about.. .I've swirled believe me ..so much that there was no whiskey left in the glass. ...maybe that's the problem...am I doing something wrong??

funny

I mean - they like the way it tastes too. Sounds like they are just more articulate about it 🤷‍♂️ as long as you are having a good time I don't think it matters. Personally if ppl are waxing a little too poetic it gets on my nerves tho

Brigadeiro are scrumptious dulce de leche caramel bonbons, a beloved confection of Brazil. Brigadeiro is made from sweetened condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder which is heated in a saucepan until it thickens and becomes a sticky caramel. Once it cools, it is rolled into a ball and dipped in multicolored sprinkles.

The iconic bonbon was named after Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes, a 1946 presidential candidate. It was created to win voter support. (He lost).

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.
