It was my birthday yesterday and while I was out running an errand I had a funny thought. I never go in Whole Foods. Don’t have the budget and I could stay for hours looking at things and don’t have those hours to spare. But, as I was shopping for one thing, a scenario popped in my head about what would I buy if I had an American Express black card and I could hit up Whole Foods< I cannot imagine how much that total would be. Let alone the fact I do not have the space in my house to hold everything I’d buy. Tried to buy cashews and there’s 8+ choices. I just wanted cashews. The tea aisle is a dream for tea connoisseurs. Don’t get me started on all of the natural lotions and organic home products. I could lotion ingredients for days. Cypress Grove Lamb Chopper…

Tried a Thai and Chinese restaurant this week I’ve heard about forever while living in Atlanta. Little Bangkok is located down on Cheshire Bridge Road in a small strip mall. It’s over 20 years old now and has a pretty loyal following. The first thing you need to know is that parking is tight. I bypassed the lot because people literally double park to fit in the space. I parked next door risking a tow truck since it was only for lunch. The restaurant is more traditionally decorated with Thai posters and menus on the walls. I sat in a booth surrounded by a crowd consisting of diners in suits obviously on their lunch hour, friends having lunch, and older couples. Nice atmosphere. I ordered their Tom Ka soup to start. It was different from what I normally expect when it comes to this dish. A little thicker and a…
In January, I was very excited to attend the Poe Museum’s annual Poe Birthday Bash. I’d been in 2018 and couldn’t wait to go again. Flew into Richmond on the Friday night before the event to stay at the Berkeley Hotel in the Shockoe Slip business district. I like to stay there since it’s a 12 minute walk to the Poe Museum or a short Uber trip. (You can read my review on the Berkeley here). Friday night was a frigid, windy 36 degrees and walking to the restaurant 2 blocks away was unpleasant. Even sitting in the Irish pub’s window seat was cold! As I ate dinner, I was worried the flight, hotel, and travel was going to be for naught with the weather. However, the next morning it was a fine 37 to 39 degrees out – cloudy but not windy. I bundled up with a scarf and…
On the surface Atlanta, with a population climbing more than 498,000, seems like a big city. In reality, you can go to an art show on a Friday night in an in town neighborhood and run into intersections of people you know. There’s a saying and it goes it may be a big city but it’s really a series of small towns. Different Trains Gallery held a pop up art show at 378 in Candler Park on Friday, January 24th, and they were guaranteed certain success with the ingredients they used. First, 378 is a nice sized gallery space with a downstairs area for performances. Next, the artists they chose were very talented and had good ties to the community along with lots of friends and family who love them. And last but not least, Clay Harper and Kevn Kinney performed. It was cold outside and rained intermittently but no…
