Welcome to the life and times of Sooz where I've been documenting my work and life adventures since 2002. Work = Sooz Media, my consulting business for web marketing, website project management, event planning and event photography. Life = shooting concert videos + photography, cooking for friends at The Granitorium, and scheming with my favorite Boston bands.

Photo: today’s office outside at The Granitorium

[tweetmeme]As much as I love the air conditioning at Design Annex during these crazy hot days, sometimes I like to work from home outside. I recently cleaned up the picnic table area at The Granitorium (aka where I live with Nick and Chris) so it's a lot more appealing to sit outside and work. Or...

Photo of green curry with tofu at Ronnarong

For years I didn't think I liked Thai food -- it generally underwhelmed me and I never sought it out. But then there's Ronnarong in Somerville's Union Square -- an explosion of tasty awesomeness. I went there for the first time when I moved to Union Square last Fall. Now that I'm vegan, it's especially...

TAZA chocolate Factory Tour: Grinding the Cocoa Nibs

The final installment of my TAZA chocolate tour of their Somerville factory is here! In this video, co-founder Alex Whitmore describes how cocoa nibs are ground. During the grinding process, the cocoa transforms from a solid to liquid because the nibs are oily with 50-55% cocoa butter. [blipit id="1925662"] Part 1: How The Roaster Works....

Sooz TV: Tour of TAZA chocolate in Somerville — How The Roaster Works

TAZA chocolate gave tours of their facility in Somerville on December 6th. I've tried to use their chocolate for my truffles and they never turned out all that great. Next time I'll probably use a little less of their choco just to give the truffles a different consistency without overdoing it. I definitely have a...
