A glass of white wine, either on its own or paired with the perfect food, can be one of life’s simple pleasures for the connoisseur or the amateur wine drinker. We’ve got some tips for understanding and buying different white wines. Cigar smoking has become an increasing and popular trend, so we set out to see what’s inside a cigar and how to go about choosing and smoking one. For many of us, the scratch cake our mothers used to make has become a thing of the past. To save time, cake mixes have become yet another convenient alternative for the “real thing”. We attempt to find that cake mix that tastes closest to homemade.
