Last Friday night I had one of the most intriguing entrees that I’ve ever eaten.  You remember that BG whisked me away for my 35th birthday, right?  As part off our reservations at the Mast Farm Inn, we were scheduled to have dinner there on Saturday night, leaving Friday’s dinner up for grabs.  Upon recommendation [...]

Oh yeah, right! Park City!! That’s it. I realized that it has been just under a MONTH since our last post. Disgraceful! I know. But we got back in town and there have been weddings, speaking engagements for work, conferences for work, obsessive house cleaning/reorganization, and 2010 tax preparation and before you know it – [...]

I am for apres ski.  I’m not certain yet whether I am for skiing, but I am most definitely for apres ski! Exactly what is apres ski, you ask?  According to Wikipedia it means “after skiing” and “refers to going out, having drinks, dancing, and generally socializing after skiing. It is popular in the Alps, where skiers [...]

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 [...]

So I mentioned that I was taking a photography class, right?  I may also have mentioned that I am totally a Penelope and nerdy with anything resembling school. I had my first class last week. As with my actual schooling, I positioned myself front and center at the head of the class with my clean [...]

So, as WineGirl mentioned, we were in Atlanta last weekend, where she did a Very Good Thing. Of course, her exertions left her famished, so thanks to OpenTable, we found a delightful restaurant — literally right around the corner. And when I tell you that the name of the place is TAP, the following should [...]

We left the DC area in a bit of a fog this morning, literally… Doesn’t it look like we are about to drive out into an unknown void?  Crazy! But, thankfully, it was not a “void.”  We had a very specific destination today. Well, two actually.  Ultimately we were headed for Colchester, CT to spend [...]

I apparently can’t blog and travel at the same time.  That will definitely go on my list of skills to improve upon as part of this blog is supposed to be about investigating the world around us a little more. We took plenty of pictures and made plenty of notes, but some how never got [...]

because THIS is what I had for dinner last night: One of the doctors that I work with is retiring.  So the six of us that work with him most closely  took him out for a celebratory dinner at The McNinch House Restaurant in Uptown Charlotte.  And, no, your eyes are not deceiving you.  That’s [...]

Y’all remember how I lamented the  Shrimp & Grits I had last week from Charlotte’s Bite Your Tongue, right?  I can’t help it, though.  You see, I’m spoiled…but let me back up. I told y’all I went to Ole Miss, didn’t I?  Ole Miss is located in a town I love like no other – Oxford, [...]
