Full Gastronomic Tilt

Good Monday morning!
I am still knee deep in papers and tests (two weeks to go!), but after missing last week it is a slippery slope. Food in brief must go on!

Sometimes the best words are no words at all.
Enjoy.

Though I dread the traffic (but enjoy driving fast), traveling to Atlanta always gets me excited. To be honest, travel in general makes me wiggle-dance. Along with food and good literature, travel is one of my life’s passions. But there’s something unique about Atlanta. A mixture of complete, happy memories bubble up every time [...]

Hello!
I am off to Atlanta for the weekend, for a much deserved vacation with some dear friends. On the menu: Cafe Bombay, a stroll through downtown Decatur, Kudzu Antique Market and IKEA.
If you have any IKEA kitchen suggestions, please let me know! Definitely picking up some DROPPAR spice jars and SLOM bottles (for storing homemade [...]

Just trust me. It will all make sense in a minute:
~ Who loves cilantro? I do! I do! So does this guy. (Warning: site uses unabashedly crass language. If you’re offended by such language, don’t clicky the link.) This Tumblr site made me laugh so hard I snorted. Food + innuendo will do it [...]

Mother Nature’s snow blow-by earlier in the week left me craving springtime food all the more. With one week left to go until the farmers’ markets open, I was thinking (and seeing) green, everywhere. As a stopgap, I picked up some peas, some green peppers…and asparagus!
Sweet, delicious asparagus, so glad to make your acquaintance [...]

A little something delicious to get you through hump day:

“Benny - toasted english muffin topped with two poached eggs, spinach, tomato, green pepper
and hollandaise sauce. Served with home fries, grits or fruit.”

Over Easy Cafe, I love you.

It was the title of Aleta’s blog that drew me in, because I’m a total geek: The Omnnomicon.
How cool is that? Lovecraft, food, and onomatopoeia memes all rolled into one tidy package.
Plus, her recipes are unusual, tasty and colorful. She’s a joy to read.
So when Aleta announced her idea for a Recipe Round-Robin, I was [...]

I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend to the fullest, because Mother Nature is turning her back on us again. It wouldn’t be Asheville in April without a snowstorm. If you live on the East Coast, brace yourselves for some rain and snow. We likely won’t get much accumulation here, but the temperature may drop [...]
