I’ve confessed things on here before, but this is an actual thing. In case you didn’t know it, I’m bipolar. It’s not as bad as a lot of people think, but it does make life, well, interesting. To be honest about it, you can probably tell by blog posts when I’m having manic time. Things [...]

Remember a while back when we told you guys that we were writing a book? Well, we did. (At least until the first edits come in.) For those of you unfamiliar with the process of submitting a completed manuscript, let’s just say that we made Kinko’s very, VERY happy yesterday. When we first started this [...]

It’s confession time. My name is Angela, and I’m an addict. Quit planning the intervention. I’m not addicted to alcohol or drugs. No, my addiction is one of a different form.

Consider the Watermelon A small dark seed rests in fertile soil. Warm sun and a bit of water and the seed sprouts. A vine creeps along the ground. A blossom gradually becomes a melon. The melon lies in the soil – the dirt. Bugs crawl through the dirt and over the melon. Birds land on [...]

I’ve read Michael Ruhlman in his book The Making of a Chef: Mastering Heat at the Culinary Institute of America talking about learning to make consommé at the CIA, how he struggled to achieve that elusive level of clarity that would let him read the date on a dime at the bottom of his pot. [...]

I originally started this as tweets, but I realized that once you are on your fourth tweet, it’s time to write a blog post instead. A letter to the editor in the January 2 Commercial Appeal caught my eye. The author suggested ways to restore the Beale Street Landing area. One of the author’s suggestions [...]

It’s a new year, a new decade, and big events are on the horizon. Hopefully all of you have had a great day or, at the very least, you’ve mostly recovered from giving the old year a great send off. We’ve got some big news that we will be sharing when the time is right. [...]
