The Blog - Where it began...

Welcome to the birthplace of CWT... Where it all began!
It all started with a single thought a notebook of ideas and a simple page, where I began adding recipe after recipe, tutorials, and opinions. From there, the journey took off! I’m keeping this page and its authenticity, so you can witness history unfold right before your eyes. This is how blogs used to look! And for those of you from the younger generations, just take a look at how far we’ve come in technology! Here, you’ll find my entire collection of posts in their original state where you can browse by section or scroll through in chronological order.
Enjoy the adventure!
