I have a confession to make. My big 3-5 is looming. That’s right. In less than a week I will be 35 yrs old. How did THAT happen? Wasn’t I just in college? I’m not really bothered about officially being in my mid-thirties. I’m just not all that excited about the fact that I will [...]

Crawfish Boil.  And to you Yankee readers that second word is pronounced BAW-IHL.  I was born and raised in the Deep South, but have moved around enough that I now say I’m going to get the oil (o-ee-ul) changed in my car.  But when you are cooking up crawfish, it’s just sacrilege to “boil” (bo-ee-ul).

BG and I have some BIG travel plans this week.  You’ll have to tune in tomorrow to find out where but, trust me, it’s good!   Tonight, at least, I’m packing.  No good meals or beverages in this post as we’ve pretty much emptied the fridge and pantry in preparation for our travel. I’ve mentioned [...]

This little blog is supposed to be about the BG and I cataloguing our adventures, both in and out of the kitchen.  Well, if I didn’t have a mini-adventure on Saturday, I don’t know what it was. Earlier this week, I told you the BG got me a bike for Christmas.  Since we live in [...]

I must have been a very good girl this year because Santa was very good to me. He brought me lots of stuff for The Kitchen… (for serving) (for cooking) (for storage) (for entertaining) And THIS… is for The Travel! I was bitten by the biking bug while we were in Hilton Head this summer. [...]

it was a treat to get popcorn at home?  Or are those of you who read this so young as to not remember a world where microwave popcorn always existed? So I know that BG and I are like the last two people on the planet to get on this train, but we started watching [...]

The pics around here are about to get a lot better! That’s because I started a photography class at The Light Factory tonight.  The Light Factory is a contemporary museum of photography and film here in the Queen City.  It host exhibits, shows indie films, and has a strong educational push – both adult education [...]

What you don’t want to see while walking down the stairs in a semi-comatose fog after a nearly 3 hour nap because you woke up at 6am on a Saturday to do your last 18 mile training walk… I don’t even wanna know. Cheers, y’all!

Beer Guy told you about our orchard fun yesterday.  I have to say that while it may not have FELT like Fall while we were there, it certainly LOOKED like Fall. We  were greeted by this fabulous tree under which were apples galore (all from the orchard) and plenty o’mums. Outside the quaint farmhouse store [...]
