Good Morning Darlings!
It has been quite a sweltering week here in Atlanta. With temps topping 100F, we are just about to melt.
I am so ready to enjoy the weekend and beat the heat.
Some icy ideas inside

Last night was a doozy. Fondue and wine. Lots of luscious wine. 10 of us got together for an evening of gooey excess.
But I am paying for it today.

Oh, how I love The Ritz-Carlton. I know that seems like a no-brainer, but they are always giving me new ways to love them.
I recently had one of those days.
What’s new to love?

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?

I love coconuts. Coconut shrimp, pina coladas at the beach and coconut ice cream.
But what is my most favorite coconut dish?
