Good Morning Darlings!
My resolutions have lasted about one split second.
What made me break?

Our good friend Sarah showed up this past Sunday night bearing a Lemon Chess Pie.
Lets talk pie…

Good Morning Darlings!
Only a few more days of 2011 remain. Today I thought I would offer up a very pretty cocktail to toast 2012 in.
Pretty, pretty!

Good Morning Darlings!
I am plum full up from the weekend. Scores of tamales, Frangelico cake, cheese dip, guacamole, salsa, enchiladas, more chips. And a marathon of Being Human yesterday on the couch. Dang, that show is good.
Get to the food already!

Did you have the best Christmas with the most fun? Oh, good! Me, too.
New Year’s Eve is less than a week away. Are you hosting? Need some ideas?
You are going to need cocktail recipes!

Good Morning Darlings!
Merry Christmas to you all. I hope Santa was very good to you. He is gifting me with the quietest morning so far, with just a light rain falling on the roof.
Last night Eric and I continued our tradition of Christmas Eve sushi at Gekko, where we dressed up and gorged on rolls, sushi and sashimi. It was divine. But first we made a stop at Green’s, where we stocked up on bubbly and beer for tonight’s dinner. It’s a small affair this year, but we are so grateful to be able to share our home with friends.
Hope you receive lots of festive aprons!
My menu is super simple and I think it would really translate well for a New Year’s Eve feast. I will share the details with you on Tuesday.
Love to you all.
xoxo, Patti

The lovely people at Deep South Magazine have allowed me to write a holiday etiquette column for them.
Do you need a few tips? Maybe a little giggle?

The lovely people at Ross Dress For Less recently sent me a $25 gift certificate and let me have at it.
And so I did.
What did I get?
