Well Fed On the Town

I think my ideal day might include walking around a bunch of food vendors, getting samples and goodies, then maybe meeting a celebrity or two.

In fact, this is what the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show will offer Washington Nov. 3 and 4. Held at the Washington Convention Center, this $20 event sounds like it will […]

I’m not one to buy pumpkins at the grocery store. I would much rather get out to a local farm and pick my own. I love to experience the fall scenery and the autumn air, and to know precisely how fresh my pumpkin is.
This weekend, we went to Hickory Nut Gap Farm near Asheville, NC […]

I wrote this in May when I graduated from high school. Enjoy!
I woke up staring at my wall, like every other morning. I’d been doing the same routine for twelve years, but this was the last day of it. No more buses (even though after eighth grade you wouldn’t be caught dead in a bus […]

Good sushi, as we all know, is hard to find.  Like finding a needle in a haystack the size o’ yo mama.  Seriously, it’s a daunting task.  You go through nasty California rolls.  Sick sashimi.  Flacid and mushy edamame.  It’s a mission filled with pit falls, disappointment, and possibly food poisoning.  But when you find […]

At the age of twelve, my mother decided to drag me to the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Dallas. Confused, I thought my Methodist-raised parent was taking me to convert. Upon arrival, however, I breathed a sigh of relief. People of every creed were standing in lines snaking around a great outdoor courtyard at […]

You didn’t know that Saturday was national HerbDay? Silly.
The day was established to promote and educate the public about the many uses of herbs in food, medicine and beauty products. This was celebrated by organizations across the country and right here in the nation’s capitol at the U.S. Botanic Garden.

The beautiful facility is a dream […]

Only in the South, right? If you happen to live or be in the Salley, South Carolina area around Thanksgiving, you may want to stick around for their annual Chitlin Strut.
Dates: November 24
From the folks at AOL: Pig intestines — it’s what’s for dinner? Yep, if you’re heading to Salley, South Carolina, home of […]
