Future 
Welcome to Monday! It’s a special day since there is a total eclipse occurring across parts of Mexico, the US, and Canada. I’d love to hear if anyone reading this gets to witness it in its full glory. As for me, I have a degree of FOMO but I am at least able to view … Read more
It’s the weekend, time for some video games! I have been playing Tekken 8 obsessively, but it sometimes crashes on my PC. Arguably the best way to play Tekken is on PS, but I don’t have one and I am having hella fun anyways. I will probably be playing some moar Tekken over the weekend. … Read more
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I feel like I’ve started so many OFs and posts with those words. There isn’t much Monday left, and I’ve missed so many. Here goes nothing! This last year has been an absolute blur; I’ve been so very busy trying to keep my head above water that I have … Read more
I really enjoy cooking sometimes, and I have pretty much nailed Mac ‘n cheese down to an art. This isn’t your store-bought instant variety, which I’m fine with occasionally, but rather a recipe that I have been making and have perfected through trial and error over the span of my adult life. So, let’s go … Read more
Personally, I love a good stout. They are malty, delicious beers that provide an unique flavor. Guinness is arguably the world’s most popular, however, I would argue that South African Breweries’ own Castle Milk Stout is right up there amongst the best. Decembers here on the southern tip of Africa tend to be muggy and … Read more
Black Label is easily one of South Africa’s staple beverages. It reminds me of my misguided early 20’s, most of which I spent performing with various bands and trying to find my feet in this world. It invokes memories of some of the wildest nights I ever had, and I have raised this particular brew … Read more
It’s summer over here in the Southern Hemisphere, and in my neck of the woods that means rainy season. This gets me thinking about environmental effects in games and how far they have come. I love some good water physics, perhaps mostly because we had it quite rough back in the day. Super Mario Bros. … Read more
![[TAYste] KWV Classic Collection Shiraz 2021](https://www.tay2.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/IMG_2387-scaled.jpg)
I’ll always have a soft spot for KWV, a truly iconic South African brand probably most famous locally for their brandy. I’m not big on spirits, but wine is always a great companion of food. Much like last time, I got some frozen pizzas as an alternative to getting takeouts, and couldn’t resist pairing it … Read more
What’s up TAY! I hope y’all had a great weekend! I don’t feel like writing much today. Had a surprisingly busy weekend, one where I didn’t achieve all the things I wanted to. I’m okay with that – it happens. I wrote a thing yesterday, you should go read that. I used to work in … Read more

I was having a glass of wine a few nights ago and thought I’d write a few words about it. But I can’t call it a SnackTAYku Review for a few reasons, the main obvious one being that wine is not a snack. Welcome to [TAYste]! I picked this wine up for one reason, and … Read more
