Good Morning Darlings!
Wow, our July 4th weekend was chock full of eating. Specifically lots of hot dogs, burgers and grilled chicken. And lemon bars. There were chips, beer margaritas, cuba libres, pasta salad, dips, and more chips.
Did I mention beer margaritas and lemon bars? I ate a lot of those.
How can I remedy all those treats?

Happy 4th of July! Hooray! A day off and time to fire up the grill.
What will you be cooking?

Good Morning Darlings!
So excited! Just received a bottle of Sailor Jerry rum on my doorstep, just in time for this weekend’s festivities!
My friend Alex sent me all kinds of recipes, too. Looks like the bottle will be empty by Monday.
Whatever shall we do with Sailor Jerry?

Good Morning Darlings!
I am blessed with ridiculously good fortune. Or maybe it’s because of my pollyanna attitude that I see my life through rose colored glasses. Either way. Amazing experiences happen to me a lot.
One of those times happened last week in an invitation from Miss Tinsley to attend a Tinsley Tasting at Antico Pizza.
But this was not a pizza dinner. Oh no. So much more.
What happened that afternoon at Antico?

Good Morning Darlings!
Campo Viejo recently contacted me to ask if I would like to participate in a wine tasting. Why, of course I would!
Last night they answered questions in real time while we sipped and ate. Melanie made a perfect roast chicken with roasted potatoes and scrumptious collard greens.
How did they pair?
Join our dinner party!

Good Morning Darlings!
My life is pretty breezy most of the time. I try not to let too many things bother me and when they do, I try to figure out how to best handle it.
When I heard that my precious friend Melanie had lost someone very close to her, it made my heart ache. How do you fix that?
Mellie’s friend Charlane was a marvelous blogger. And although I had never met her, I was moved by her posts. They were all so whimsical and charming. I bet you would love her, too. Take a look at one of her last posts here.
So how do you mend a broken heart?
Giving it a try inside….

Good Morning Darlings!
When Caren West calls (or emails), I listen. As one of Atlanta’s premiere PR mavericks, her clients are all incredibly fab.
Then she asked me to review The Real Chow Baby. What? Isn’t that like a fast food place? Really, Caren?
Really?

Good Morning Darlings!
Oh, you know how we are here in the south. We have to make sure everyone is fed. And fed well.
One night not so long ago, we had our dear friend, Johnny P. over for supper. I made meatloaf. To feed about 20. You never know how hungry men will be. Or who might stop by.
Did we eat it all?

Good Morning Darlings!
Hope you had a perfect weekend. Ours was fabulous. Eric & I saw Yacht Rock on Friday Night at Park Tavern under the stars, ate at Tantra Saturday night (more on that later) and lazed about all day Sunday watching a Party Down marathon.
Oh, I guess you are tuning in to see the answer to Friday’s quiz?
Lets get on with it.
What was that?
