I Have A Secret

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

Secrets are the most fun. Well, when they are happy secrets. Like birthday surprises, raindrops on roses and brown paper packages tied up with string. Some of my favorite things!

My friends at Black Tie Barbecue keep the most fun secrets ever!

Wanna hear a secret?

Oysterfest!

Good Morning Darlings!

I just got this notice from my sweet friend Marsha and cannot wait to go! Usually I am very lazy about reading press releases (okay, about everything…)but this totally caught my eye.

Oysters. Beer. The Four Seasons, y’all. If you wear a collar and don’t show up in flip flops, I bet they will serve you.

I’m going. Eric does not share my love of oysters. Who’s going with me?

Marsha, I need the deets!

This is my fantasy centerpiece for Super Bowl. With all the calories removed, of course.

I don't think I have enough guests to build this.....

What are you serving at your Super Bowl soiree?

There are so many things to do in our fair city. Especially during the holidays. You might take in the decorated windows at 200 Peachtree or stop in at The Ritz-Carlton’s lobby bar, Lumen for a swanky cocktail.

I’ll let you in on a fab new spot downtown…
