A Girl Named Sous
It is quite commonly known that I like to cook, and even more than that I like to entertain. It is just natural for us to host dinner party after dinner party. Sometimes though it would be rather nice to be on the invitation end of an intimate dinner party instead of the hosting end. I began to wonder if folks still held proper dinner parties? The last one we were invited to sadly was a year ago. Granted there have been many cocktail parties, chef's dinners, and barbecues, but it seems that the tradition of planning a menu, setting a table, writing out place cards has gotten lost somewhere along the way.So what a treat it was after a long weekend of

Freaking Out
What is it about Halloween?Some regard the holiday as the chance to tartify themselves leaving little to the imagination. While others go to exorbitant lengths in procuring a disguise leaving you to wonder, "Who just grabbed me?". Well that has just never been my bag. There is something about dressing up in a costume, with no direction as to theme, that gets me flustered. Coming from the girl who dressed up as White Trash, Bianca Jagger and Hera, this is a little cuckoo indeed. I would gladly revisit those looks again, but my "Been There Done That" mindset gets the best of me.

Ahhh...pura vida
Pura Vida translated means "Pure Life" but in context means something closer to "Full of Life". It is also a phrase that describes a leisurely lifestyle, a disregard for time, a wanton friendliness, and enjoying life slowly.The past several weeks have whizzed by me. They've been enjoyable, but a blur. As always seems to be the case with me, I find the need after an avalanche of events to SLOW down and not live life at such a frenetic pace. I was reminded of this last week (was it only last week?) when Jimmy Leg and I made the rushed trip to Atlanta for a private dinner at pura vida. This was originally inten

An Event-Full Week
It is something that happens quite often in NoChi. It's horrifying and always sends chills down my spine. The echoing phrase I hear time and time again, "There is nothing to do in Macon" ! I find myself wanting to scream like a banshee at people who say that, pull my hair out in a fit of rage and shoot lightening bolts out of my eyes at them. But instead I retain my composure, smile sweetly and provide them with a LONG list of options. Here are just a few events (Special and ongoing) that should be on your calendar.Wednesdays are made for Karaoke. There are even two options! NoChi can hit the Mellow Mushroom

The Neighborhood of Make Believe
Flashback.Mr Rogers' Neighborhood. Some found it boring and babyish, others thought of it as just a show to get through until ZOOM came on. It didn't have the flash of The Electric Company, but I dug it. I dug it for it's simplicity. I would sit eyes glued to the television during that opening sequence where the camera follows the sidewalk into neighborhood, trying to see if I could spot Mr Rogers going to his house. Once arriving of course the changing of the shoes and donning of the sweater meant the show was underway. It was the show that taught me how to tie my shoe and how to skip. But mostly,
