Cold-Brew Iced Tea

I have a sudden, all-consuming obsession with iced tea. It could be because summer is winding down and I’m holding on to it with everything I have, it could be because I recently read a book where the main character loves southern sweet tea (I’m that easily influenced), it could be because I’ve gone on…

Relief for the South through a Tee

I love the trend of buying a tee to support a cause: not only do you then donate money to the cause, but you advertise it every time you wear the tee. AND you get a cute tee to wear! Souther designer Billy Reid is selling this tee and donating 100% of the profits directly…

Thrilled that they sat us at the exact same table as the last time we were there, we were even more excited when our server came over. It wasn’t his…

Popovers at Trio in the Four Seasons

So we all know Trio is an amazing restaurant in the Four Seasons. Some people knock the decor (red and orange tones) or say “it’s not that good,” but really, when they say those sorts of things, it’s because they’re jealous. Trio has food, service, and wine down pat. Ha, that’s a trio. But I…
