    Love all of these. I particularly love how glittery Ruby Mine is! I don't think I own that one yet!

      It was an impulse buy at Walgreens sometime last year. Great one if I do say so myself! :)

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge

Image
Another fantastic Northern Ireland site is the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede .  Located near Ballintoy in County Antrim, this bridge was first erected by fishermen about 350 years ago.  It spans over a 23-meter deep and 20-meter wide chasm and was traditionally used by the fishermen so that they could check their salmon nets.  Today fishermen no longer work in the area due to a diminished availability of salmon.  In the 1960's fishermen caught approximately 300 salmon per day, but by 2002 only 300 salmon were caught in a single season. The original rope bridge consisted of a single rope hand rail that was replaced with a two hand railed bridge by the National Trust .  So suffice it to say it's much safer now than I'm sure it was 350+ years ago!  For those afraid of heights, crossing is definitely a thrill since the rope bridge undulates as everyone walks across it.  However, the staff has safety in mind as only a maximum amount of individual...

Welcome to "Corking Around"

When I started my blog I’d originally intended to primarily write about winery tours, cooking adventures, and travelling. I created it for myself in order to have an artistic outlet outside of my technical full time job. I told myself to avoid falling into several “newbie” blogging traps of A) creating content for content’s sake and B) promoting it in hopes of somehow magically attracting sponsors. In short, I didn’t want to compromise my blogging goals by word vomiting (to borrow a phrase from Mean Girls) all over the place. However, anyone who’s ever tried to maintain a blog knows how time consuming it is to create content for each new post, whether it’s just for yourself and a few friends or for hundreds of loyal readers. Whatever you choose to blog about, it takes time, and often money, to visit places, document a recipe, and/or keep up with the fashion and beauty products. This, combined with the addition of a part-time job, quite a bit of traveling for my full time job,...

Buttermilk Biscuits

Image
After making the lemon poppy seed bundt cake for my boyfriend's birthday last week, I had some leftover buttermilk that I wanted to use before it spoiled.  In my book what better way to use it than to make fluffy buttermilk biscuits?  This time I wanted to successfully make light, fluffy biscuits so I turned once again to Pinterest and found a recipe from The Chunky Chef .  Not only did these biscuits turn out perfectly, but they were so incredibly easy to make.  It probably took me about 30-45 minutes to prep and bake 10 biscuits. Preheat the oven to 450F.  Before combining all of the ingredients, cut the butter into small cubes and put it in the freezer.  Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.  Then, using either a food processor or a pastry cutter, add the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Mix in the buttermilk. Fold the dough over itself several times before rolling it out to about a one inch thickness.  U...
