My Dad’s outloud musings:
“Is there anything better than a perfect cherry?. . . Maybe a perfect raspberry.”
“Iced coffee, now that’s a real possibility for the next hour.”
“Who wants tuna? I do!”
“Get your own tomato!”
“This egg salad is superb.”
“What are you guys eating?”
“What do you think we should eat later?”
“Last one, and then no more. Okay, one more.”
I [...]

Last Saturday we ventured out to the shiny new farmer’s market, the one located off of South Charlotte Street. I didn’t understand the concept, except for the potential for tons of farmstands and great parking. But most of the vendors also had a stand at either the North Asheville market or the French Broad market. [...]

Thursday, April 24, is Dining Out for Life day in Asheville (and many other cities). This is a great day to go out to eat for all three meals, because 20% of your food and drink bill will be donated to the Western North Carolina AIDS Project to help people living with HIV/AIDS achieve a [...]

So, no garden yet. Let’s not talk about that right now.
I’ve been eating at home, which I consider boring and unworthy of blogging, but apparently the rest of the world mostly eats at home, and therefore disagrees.
In a valiant attempt to save money (in order to blow it all on an awesome summer), I have had [...]

I’m going to have a garden this year.
I’m going to call my landlord and ask if I can have this geriatric-swingers-sounding gardening phenomenon known as a “raised bed.”
I’m going to read The Postage Stamp Gardening Book that I have owned for over a decade but have never cracked open-not once.
I’m going to buy a hoe and a shovel, [...]

I was asked this past week to consider my passion. Passion being the driving force for all actions and the meaning behind the menial. Like most people, I probably can’t narrow the answer down to one overriding passion, but when I stepped up to the mic, only one word erupted from my lips: feast.
For as [...]

Have I mentioned I love soup? I long for an Asheville restaurant 100% devoted to the production of soup. Imagine: Every day for lunch, six or so homemade soup options, homeade breads, and salads. A chowder, a seafood option, two vegetarian choices, a vegan soup, a beef soup, and a chicken soup. Le sigh. My dream come [...]

Let me begin by saying, I’m a huge fan of potlucks. Potlucks are the backbone of the pinko revolution, in my opinion. Potlucks have a spirituality all their own; a syncronicity. When no one has determined who should bring what, yet everyone arrives and finds the glorious spread, laid out in all it’s splendor: appetizers, [...]

Hey y’all. Due to some difficult family circumstances having nothing or perhaps everything to do with food, my blogging energy is currently waning. I will be back in action very soon, but in the meantime, I invite you to this post of another local blogger who has thoughtfully illuminated for us some fancy shmancy Christmas Day [...]

Damn, I love Thanksgiving. This year most of the fam drove in from Maryland to have a Gourmet Grrl Thanksgiving feast. Some dietary issues had to be considered, so I plunked down some change for a few specialty cookbooks, and voila! Brand new traditions abounded. This was my first ever attempt at roast turkey. Of [...]

It’s official: I’m a grownup. For the first time in history, I will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner for my entire family at my house. That’s right. It’s finally time, once and for all, to put every single wedding gift to use. Those wicker candlesticks, the weird serving platters, that electric carving knife, those starchy cloth napkins. [...]
