This page contains information on some of my entertainment related interests. This includes a categorized list of British television crime and mysteries, some tips for managing a digital music library, some custom album artwork that I created for concert bootlegs in my music library, as well as some recipes. Each subject will be continually updated and expanded over time. The photo above is of the band CHVRCHES and was shot by Daniel Boud.

General Topics

Though I am American, I have an insatiable addiction to British television and movies, and in particular, crime and mysteries. My British TV crime and mysteries page contains categorized information on dozens of such series and movies that I have watched. As that is the most viewed page on my website, I know that my addiction is not unique. There is also a page with some of my organization tips for managing an digital music library.

British TV Crime & Mysteries

This page contains an extensive categorized list of British television crime and mystery series and movies, along with descriptions, reviews, and links to further information.

Digital Music Library Organization Tips

This page shares some practical tips that I use to organize and manage my digital music library, which is via the Apple Music app (i.e the former iTunes) on macOS.

Custom Album Artwork

If you have a digital music library, there are times when the artwork for an album may be inadequate, or there may simply be none. For example, there is no artwork for concert bootleg recordings as they are not commercially available. In these situations, some music enthusiasts may create their own custom album artwork. Listed below is custom artwork that I created for some concert bootleg recordings in my music library. This artwork was created for personal use only. If you use any of the artwork in your music library, I would genuinely be interested in knowing, as well as any feedback that you have on the designs.

Recipes

Though I consider myself far from an expert in the kitchen, listed below are some recipes that I regularly make. The recipes originate from cookbooks or websites, and the source is listed with each recipe. Most of the recipes were modified by me in some way, such as for taste, serving size, or ease of preparation. All of the photos were taken right before consuming the food, and there was no trickery as commonly done with photos from cookbooks or food blogs. Any feedback or questions are welcome, and if you do make one of the recipes, I'm definitely interested hearing your opinion of the result.

Guinness Meatballs

This is a recipe for Guinness meatballs. The Irish inspired meatballs include leek which gives a unique flavor, and the accompanying sauce is infused with Guinness.

Irish Onion Soup

This is a recipe for an Irish version of Onion Soup Gratinée (i.e. baked French onion soup) and uses beef broth, Jameson Irish whiskey, Guinness stout, and Irish cheddar cheese.

Spinach and Sausage Country Soup

This is a recipe for a unique and rustic Italian style soup. The flavorful soup is surprisingly not heavy, quick and easy to make, and can be enjoyed any time of the year.
