I used to not like quiche. Most likely the reason for this is that I thought all quiche contained spinach because when my mother made quiche it was spinach quiche. I am still not a huge fan of cooked spinach- will eat it in my salad all day long. I like it fresh. Of course [...]

Deviled Easter Eggs
Posted in Cooking on Mar 26th, 2013
There is probably a reason why bunnies and eggs have come to represent Easter, but I don’t know what it is. I have seen some pretty funny comedy sketches talking about it though, so at least the randomness provides a lot of humor. I am not a huge deviled egg fan- it is the texture [...]
This past Friday, Walker, Corby and I rode our bicycles over to Carolinas, a local restaurant that has been around forever. My father’s office building is right across the street, and literally, he goes there every day for lunch. And much to their enjoyment/chagrin, he has the same thing every day. He orders a chopped [...]
I was at the grocery store yesterday with Walker, and he was lamenting the fact that they never have his favorite fruit- Saturn peaches of course. I told him that they were not in season to which he responded, “Well let’s just go get ice cream then.” Which actually made perfect sense to me, so [...]
In addition to the Wine & Food Festival which kept Charleston in good eats all weekend, Corby and I got engaged! Which now of course means I need suggestions on food and recipes to serve at the wedding. Not one for long engagements, April 20th is the day- yes of this year. I know most [...]
About a year and a half ago, I had the immense pleasure of working with the Lee Brothers for a week while they did the food photography for their new cookbook- Charleston Kitchen. Well, the book has finally come out, and we went to a small launch party last night where I got to see [...]
I did not stay up to watch the Oscars. I wanted to, and I planned to, but I fell asleep putting Walker to bed. To be honest, I really haven’t seen many of the movies that were nominated, so I wasn’t totally invested. But I really do love watching the Red Carpet and all of [...]
Valentine’s Day is almost here which of course means I can eat red hots all day long. It doesn’t really but I am using it as an excuse. I love red hots. They are in my top five favorite candies, and sometimes they are really hard to find. Fortunately, they are always in the baking [...]
For those of you who watched the Superbowl last night- what did you think? For those of you who didn’t- it was a pretty interesting game- complete with a 35 minute delay because half of the stadium lights went out which caused quite a momentum shift. Anyway- Ravens won- football is over til September. I [...]
I love the Superbowl- not because I love football, because I really don’t care about NFL football- college football is a slightly different story (I care a little bit), but I love the Superbowl for the food. It is such a great excuse to eat a lot of cheesy, meaty, greasy, bready foods and drink [...]
