Wednesday Nights With Watershed!

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

I love fried chicken. On Tuesday night here at the house I tried to fry some chicken for some friends. How did it go? I dang near burned the house down trying to fry chicken. It was wildly embarrassing. We ended up grabbing take out. See? It’s not all glam parties at my house. Every once in a while we have a clunker. But sparkling conversation made up for my kitchen gaffes and my husband’s running out to grab edible eats saved the night.

There is hope!

Off To New Orleans

Good Morning Darlings!

You would think that spending time at the Ritz-Carlton would sate my hunger for luxury.

Not so.

It only makes me crave more.

How about a trip to NOLA?

Good Morning Darlings!

After a week of zombie wrangling (see: Atlanta Movie Tours), I had the chance to immerse myself in delicious girly goodness at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead.

Good Morning Darlings!

I was fortunate to be gifted with a lovely evening of dining at STK Atlanta and seeing Thomas Dolby at The Loft on Monday night.

Oh, what a wonderful time we had. Our server was Fred and he took the most amazing care of us. Hakim, the manager, was most charming as well.

Would you like a glimpse?

Come on in…

It’s Fat Tuesday, and if you are not in New Orleans, where are you celebrating?

I have an idea!

Diesel – TWD Viewing Party

Good Morning Darlings!

I am obsessed with zombies. I just cannot help myself. Since childhood, I have loved all things that go bump in the night. My favorite cartoon was the Groovy Ghoulies. As much as I loved Bandstand and Soul Train, Saturday was never complete without Creature Feature. And you just couldn’t have a slumber party without a gaggle of screaming girls watching old Bela Lugosi flicks. It just wouldn’t be the same.

What does that have to do with Dinner Parties?
