The South Will Rise

This past Friday, I finally tracked down Kim Nelson of Daisy Cakes- she was in Nashville, TN looking at a new distribution company for her cakes and very generously took the time to talk to me.  A little background if you haven’t yet heard of Kim Nelson and Daisy Cakes because the way she is [...]

Charleston about the Lowcountry Local First Farm Tour.  It was so much fun!!  Corby, Walker, Nemo (our 11 year old Springer Spaniel) and I piled into the car and drove out to John’s Island where we met up with Ian, the photographer (his photograph is to [...]

With the weather so nice and summer just around the corner, we decided it was time to get back on the water, so we spent the afternoon with friends on their dock at Bailey’s Island which is out at Edisto.  It was so relaxing and wonderful to hang out by the water, get a little [...]

Charleston.  It is a great magazine about the amazingness of the food in Charleston and all of the wonderful “farm to table” initiatives we have here.  The article was on a breakfast hosted at Butcher and Bee which is [...]

As it turns out, my previous post about Corby not being all that into Valentines Day was a bit off.  Corby, the sweet, wonderful, handsome, talented, brilliant man that he is, gave me a cooking lesson at Charleston Cooks! as a Valentines Day present.  Here is the drawing in my card- it is of Meg and Corby going [...]

I love Valentine’s Day.  I know that it is a cheesy Hallmark holiday, and other than getting jazzed up to help Walker make his Valentine’s for his classmates, I should just treat it like any other day, but I really love it.  I really love those hearts with the sayings on them-  I actually don’t [...]
