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 [...]
My sweet son Walker finally got home from New York this week, and I have, of course, been spoiling him rotten from missing him so much. I asked him what he would like for dinner the other night, and he replied meatloaf. This was a little surprising since I haven’t made meatloaf for him in [...]
Saturday was a pretty great day. It started off with pepper jack cheese scrambled eggs and maple bacon and ended with macaroni and cheese fritters with green tomato jam, and in the middle was a fantastic day sailing with great friends and snacking on tater tots. I reconnected with a friend from college who is [...]
I love New York. I am so glad I do not live there anymore, but I really do love it. We had such a fun weekend, and the weather, although not cold and Christmas spirit inspiring, was fantastic. The food was even better. We went to a lot of places, and I don’t think all of [...]
There are so many reason why Sean Brock won the James Beard Award in 2010- McCrady’s and Husk are amazing restaurants, but we tried his backyard pulled pork recipe this weekend for a football watch party we were throwing, and I now think Sean Brock is a god. I am maybe slightly biased because Corby [...]
We got into Nashville this past Friday afternoon just in time for dinner before the Avett Brothers concert at Bridgestone Arena. I have only been to Nashville once in the past and that was to look at Vanderbilt for college, so it doesn’t really count. Fortunately for me, thanks to Corby’s fantastic ability to find [...]

Feast in the Field
Posted in Dinner on Oct 3rd, 2011
Last night we went to a Feast in the Field event sponsored by Low Country Local First, FIG, and Garden and Gun Magazine. The setting was a beautiful spot on the river called Dirthugger Farm with lighted Live Oak trees, Spanish moss, and a sun set that was breath taking. The food was even better. Passed hors d’oeurves [...]
