I really hate clutter- so much so that I throw things away by mistake and then rage around the house looking for them later but that is neither here nor there. So this past Christmas, instead of giving Walker some toy or thing that will just clutter up his room, we very selflessly gave him […]

In the last two days, trailers for new television shows about South Carolina have been aired. Please please please do not believe that South Carolina is anything like what is depicted in these shows. The first one I saw (and I have been hearing about this upcoming show for a while) is called Southern Charm […]
I think I have said this before, and it should really come as no surprise since I am in love with baking and desserts, but I have a ridiculous sweet tooth. This attribute fortunately did not get passed down to my son Walker. He likes candy, but he could really go either way on it. […]
I have always wondered about figgy pudding- what is it? I do very much like the line in the Christmas carol about it, demanding figgy pudding is just kind of funny to me. So, of course, I googled it, and while I don’t think it will make it into the holiday repertoire of traditions, it […]
This past Saturday, we were invited to a friend’s house for a chocolate making lesson which might be the best kind of lesson ever. Chefs Mark Gray and David Vagasky have started Cacao’s Artisan Chocolate in Charleston (www.cacaoscharleston.com), and their chocolate is really really amazing. They sell their chocolates in Southern Season in both Charleston […]
My sister-in-law is an excellent baker. She makes the best chocolate chip cookies, brownies, etc, and she is incredibly generous with her baking. I am not sure where she finds the time as she is also a lawyer. We went to an oyster roast this past weekend with her and my brother, and she brought […]
I did not grow up with Nutella, and I actually only tried it about two years ago. It was ok, but I didn’t love it. I have never bought Nutella nor made anything with Nutella and to be honest, I don’t really get it. Is it healthy chocolate because friends I know who are real […]
I can’t believe it is Thanksgiving week already!! We are headed up to the mountains tomorrow, and thanks to Mother Nature, it looks like it will be absolutely freezing up there with hopefully some snow. My sister and her family are driving down from New York, and Walker can’t wait to see his cousins. He […]
My entire family is spending Thanksgiving together up in the mountains. Granted there are only 11 of us, so it is not that huge, but we did want to make Thanksgiving as easy as possible- especially on my mother who usually does everything. So take the load off of her for a year, my brother […]
I can’t wait to go to work on Tuesday, November 19th. I work at the Charleston Library Society, and on that day, we are hosting Nathalie Dupree and Patricia Moore-Pastides for an event showcasing the new book Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking by Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart. Here is a description of the […]
