Back to the Daily Grind. Literally. Ventipop hopes you and yours had a happy, happy, joy, joy-ful holiday. In this first true Grind of 2017, we talk about all the things that are about to make us feel really old in 2017, exercise down the Seine, drink a beer in the shower, make some old school Parmesan Ice Cream, learn to listen to our food, watch a guy make an incredible pencil vase and laugh at a bear having a hard time standing on ice. Enjoy.
