Do you remember when we thought we were about to enter our generation's version of The Roaring '20s? How excited were we to start the new decade!? Mrs. R and I actually went out to celebrate with the midnight fireworks at Universal Studios. It was going to be great — and it was, for a [...]
It is almost incomprehensible that it has been three years since I last sat down to write a about the latest cup of joe. On one hand life has a tendency to get in the way, but on the other, this was truly a once in a generation collective pause. One which some were able [...]
At last, my best friend is my wife. In retrospect, it's clear that she was always the one. However, it took us years to arrive at forever and always. Our story begins 11 years ago...
One of the things that I could not possibly ever come close to achieving is appreciating my wife enough. Although I do try to constantly show her gratitude and appreciation, Mrs. Ramdolfi simply does not get enough credit for everything that she does. Perhaps it's that absence makes the heart grow fonder why some distance exacerbated my fondness, but I'm rather fond of her as it is...
It's been a while! So much has happened since we last spoke. For starters, it's Autumn. The leaves have turned orange, the weather has encouraged us to dive into our closets for those warm sweaters, and if you're anything like us, you are over the moon because it's holiday season! But before we get in the holiday spirit, we have so much to share about the best summer thus far...
Good morning caffeinated nation — it's morning somewhere in the world. I hope your weekend is wonderful thus far! Today we wanted to share a dash of positivity by sharing our morning. Full disclosure, I am not sure that I subscribe to karma (a concept that can be summarized with "what goes around comes around"). [...]
After securing the pizza ingredients, It was time to channel my inner Master Chef. I feel confident with this challenge, I have been perfecting this dish for over a decade. That said, you do not win Master Chef by playing it safe, so I decide to try a few new things such as garlic salt to stand out from the competition — I can hear Gordon Ramsay asking me in his British accent "Why on earth would you choose to try something you've never done before on such a crucial night?"
The wife and I have been watching Master Chef lately — a famous cooking competition show that we had somehow managed to unintentionally evade since its inception a decade ago. It was originally intended to be background noise as we took care of chores such as folding laundry or washing dishes. But with time, we started to pay attention. Before we knew it, we were invested. Now, I am inspired...
With the wedding behind us, we must now wait up to four more weeks to receive our pictures and video — and we can't wait! As such, it occurred to us to look up our photographer to see if they had uploaded any pictures, and we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves on their website! In fact, we are on their Yelp, Wedding Wire, and The Knot pages! We still cannot wait to see the rest of our pictures (and video), but at least now we have a few to enjoy until then...
At last, it is time to cover what I referred to on my first coffee review as my measuring gauge, Starbucks. This is because Starbucks is neither gourmet nor vending machine quality, it is simply a good cup. It stands in the middle, and for that reason, it is my point of reference. Starbucks' Menu [...]
