We surprised Walker with a trip to Disney World this past week. Corby and I have been planning this since before Christmas, and I was looking more forward to his reaction than to the trip. We had it all planned out- we would pick him up from school and tell him we were taking him [...]
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 [...]

We took 14 people up to North Carolina with us this past weekend, so including us, there were 12 adults and 5 children (and 2 dogs). It was a packed house, but we all had so much fun! Corby, Walker and I drove up on Thursday night which also happened to be Corby’s birthday- we [...]

I admit that I am pretty slow to the game when it comes to new social media technology. I am terrified of this new facebook layout and won’t even look at friends pages that have the new layout because I don’t understand it. I don’t twitter or tweet or whatever you call it even though [...]
I made Red Velvet Whoopie Pies last night to take as dessert to a dinner party. The recipe was very simple recipe for the red velvet part- a box of cake mix, eggs, water and oil. I made two different fillers, a marshmallow and a cream cheese icing. Everything went very well, and they looked [...]

This farm provides a lot of produce and meat to restaurants in the area that support local farmers, and in keeping with that support, many of the restaurants in Charleston held a “barn raiser” yesterday to raise money to help [...]

I love The Local Palate (www.localpalatemag.com), the new cooking/food magazine in Charleston. Yesterday, they put up a link to all of their recipes http://www.localpalatemag.com/recipes.html, and I tried the Peanut Butter Pie recipe. You know those days in the kitchen where everything goes wrong- you drop eggs on the floor, you burn butter, your flour explodes [...]

Since I get to write about food and baking all the time, here is a quick post on the opposite. I took a Blast 900 (www.blast900.com) class this morning, and it was amazing! I feel like I made up for all the candy I ate at the gingerbread house party. It is an hour long [...]
We went to my sister’s gingerbread house party in New York last weekend, and Walker was so disappointed that he couldn’t take his gingerbread house on the plane home, we decided to have a gingerbread house party as well. Thanks to my mother’s genius when she was making houses for my sister’s party, she made [...]

I was asked last night if I went to the Elizabeth Taylor Jewelry Auction Preview while I was in New York last weekend. I did not. I heard the preview catalogue was $300 and since I don’t like magazines and really don’t like catalogues, I think that is a little on the ridiculous side. Despite all [...]
