The Tale of John-Scott
We–that is, me and my now-Brunch-obsessed pals–were at Moonshine Sunday morning for a little rehashing of last night over bloody marys and southern comfort food.

Awww, sweet Dishola deal – donate food with minimal effort
Aside from clicking that bowl of rice that donates to starving children in Asia (it took me awhile to find this link again, where you donate rice for every vocab word you know … pretty awesome), I don’t know of many easier ways to donate food to those in need than this: Dishola (plus Whole…
