Some days we need to kick back and relax a little. Other days we feel the need to be transported to another land entirely. A place where we can lose ourselves in an atmosphere of wonder, immersed in exotic flavors and leave our worries behind. As much as we may like to, we can’t always […]

Can you guess what we’ve been watching this past week? No, not Goodfellas but that’s pretty close. True Blood? Why yes but that’s not the show I’m hinting at. This past week we were glued to the TV every evening enthralled with visions of power, muscle and teeth. Shark Week took over all regularly scheduled […]

Buddies & Pals

August 1, 2011

Whenever I used to have one of those beyond frustrating moments at work my friend and employer at the time would find a way to turn that moment around. Whether he had a valuable piece of advice, a joke or decided that we should break for lunch early Dewey would diffuse whatever was making us […]

Carolina summers bring to mind endless hours of fun played out under the sun. Children frolicking along our shores surrounded by blue skies, while giggling at the rolling waves. Surfers paddling out into the ocean, expressing their joy by throwing buckets of water or dancing across their boards. Afternoons devouring ice cream and Italian ice […]

Early this morning we rose with the sun and headed down to the beach for the 7th Annual Reef Sweetwater Pro-Am contest. As you can see the boys weren’t quiet awake yet or in the mood to have me and my handy dandy camera in their face.

As you all know my darlin’ surfer was off playing in the waves for the last three weeks. During that time you may have noticed that there hasn’t been many, if any recipes coming out of my kitchen. If you’ve been keeping up with my shenanigans you know why. So when my good friend Paula of Bellalimento invited me to […]

As I sit here pondering the next french fry recipe that we’ll be working on this weekend I can’t help but wonder “What comes first?“. Sort of like “What comes first? The chicken or the egg?” What came first when the chefs at Alexia were creating some of their scrumptious french fry recipes? Did they choose the type of potato […]

As y’all know I was in a mad rush this past week to get two bedrooms painted and all of their contents switched out before DS came home from his surf trip to California. Three weeks should’ve be plenty of time for me to get everything done but you would be sadly mistaken. Delusional was an understatement, it was being too kind. I […]
