It was about this time last year that we were getting ready to head out to see Corby’s friend’s Ladd and Ree- otherwise known as Marlboro Man and The Pioneer Woman. We stayed on their ranch for a few days and helped wrangle some cattle- it was pretty awesome. Since that time, I have to […]
My mother’s homemade bread is the best. I am not kidding- everyone loves it. She gives it away as presents for Christmas, birthdays, new babies, house warmings- it is perfect for every occasion. She makes loaves and loaves of it at a time and then freezes them so that she always has bread to pull […]
Clearly one of the best things about fall is football season, and if you aren’t really into football, at least you can enjoy a good tailgate or “football watching” party. However, I have found that these things tend to get a little repetitive in their food choices. Wings, beer, chili, you get the idea. Until […]
I have a very weird fear of small animals like mice, fish, lizards, frogs, etc. I am really only afraid of these things, which lets be honest, can not hurt me really at all, when they are close to me and move unexpectedly. Then I freak out. Take fish- I love fishing and catching fish, […]
September is National Biscuit Month which clearly makes it my new favorite month. It is also National Honey Month, National Rice Month, National Mushroom, All American Breakfast, Better Breakfast, Chicken, Self-Improvement, Courtesy, Hug a Texas Chef, Cholesterol Awareness, and Organic Harvest Month just to name a few. Clearly, the need to have a month dedicated […]
Despite the fact that it is still hot, it is September which means cool weather and sweaters are around the corner, and I am kind of ready for it. Granted, it will probably be 6-8 weeks before that happens in Charleston, but something about school being back in session and the hope of fall makes […]
It is a good thing I like cheese so much- well maybe it isn’t, but the fact is I do, and since I have made so many batches of pimento cheese in the last week, I guess it is a good thing. To start right off, pimento cheese made with pepper jack is awesome. My […]
Walker had his first day of school yesterday- except that it was only for one hour. I am not really sure the point of a one-hour day, but I guess it eased him into it. However, I had to then think of something else for us to do for the rest of the day. Driving […]
I went to a dinner party a while ago at a good friend’s house. When she called to invite us, she immediately said, “I know you don’t like tomatoes, but I am making Tomato Tart Tatin for dessert, and you have to try it because I really think you will love it.” I realize that […]
We are finally back in Charleston and are not going anywhere for a long time. It has definitely been a summer full of great travel. Trying to get back into a routine with Walker before he starts school in a couple of weeks, I asked him what he wanted for dinner. I was expecting the […]
