Good Morning Darlings!
Sometimes I receive things in the mail that are a surprise. This little package was one of those days.
This is the fun stuff!

I know I really should post more recipes, but I’ve been very busy.
Now, I know that is a terrible excuse, so today I hope to make it up to you.

Eric and I bought a Flip camera a few weeks ago with the hopes of making some fun videos.
Cooking videos, you naughty children!! lol
I would like to share our first offering. Chef Jeffrey Gardner of South City Kitchen and Food Network’s Chopped, came by to teach me how to cook in a tajine. The tajine was sent to me by our friends at Beka.
Good Morning Darlings!
Fun Find Friday this week is joined by another FFF – Foster Fine Foods. Fun!
Good Morning Darlings!
I have decided to add another dimension to the blog and do some cooking videos. It was my extreme pleasure to welcome Chef Jeffrey Gardner from South City Kitchen to our home Sunday for some kitchen fun.

Honestly, you would think I would be done celebrating my birthday by now. After all, it’s been three weeks since I turned another year older. But, no, Crystal took me out for an incredible day on Saturday and it was delicious, precious and educational.

Remember on my birthday, my sweet friend Allen gifted me with a homemade chicken pot pie? Goodness gracious, it was delicious. And, as expected, gobbled up like hungry badgers by E and me.
Good Morning Darlings!
Well, it’s been a week but it seemed like the birthday fiesta went on and on. Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday Sunday Sunday (insert motocross announcer voice here). Sunday was my actual birthday and we gathered everyone to eat pizza, leftover nibbles from Saturday night and drink some lively libations. What I didn’t know was that Eric had asked our dear Lisa to bake me a cake. What a cake!
You’re invited! Come on in.
Good Morning Darlings!
This past weekend was my birthday and there were no shortages of celebrations. Friday night was The Cafe at The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead, Sunday night was pizza and beer on the porch, but Saturday was most special. My sweet bestie, John, cooked a fabulous meal for 12 of us – at my house, so I never had to leave. The party just came to me. Yay!
John decided on a La Dolce Vita theme, with all Italian cuisine. It was divine. The planning started weeks in advance, with John allowing me final say on the menu. I felt so pampered. The menu was as follows:
Aperitivo
Savory Caramelized Onion Cheese Cake with Apricot Glaze
Assorted Crackers
Red Grapes
Green Grapes
Pan Seared Polenta with
Creme Fraiche
Chives
Antipasti
Pesto Insalata with Three Cheese Tortillini
Piatto Principale
Lasagne with Baby Spinach and Portobello Mushrooms
Dolce
Chocolate Raspberry Panna Cotta
Sambuca
Amaretto
Good Morning Darlings!
Oh my goodness. I was totally spoiled this weekend. And as much as I would like to share all the grandeur right now, I must rest.
So tomorrow we will regroup. But today I will leave you with a new food product to ponder before the weather gets too warm. Although it can’t get warm enough fast enough for me. You? These chicken meatballs are yummy. And I don’t ever eat chicken meatballs. But these might have convinced me that it doesn’t always have to be beef meatballs.
What’s new in the food world? Come See.
