Good Morning Darlings,
I love mushrooms. Like I REALLY love mushrooms. They are always in my fridge, ready to make something taste even better.
My new friend, Joe, knows all about mushrooms. Do you know they are a superfood? Finally something I love to eat is a superfood (why can’t pizza be a superfood!?!?)
Anyhoo, mushrooms are anti-inflammatory and they taste delicious.
Joe, take it away!
The Science of Mushrooms
ALL the mushrooms!!
Wasn’t that cool? Now go eat some mushrooms.
xoxo, Patti

Good Morning Darlings,
There’s nothing sweeter than a beach getaway, especially when your bestie’s daddy has a beach house. We adore Captain Mike and he is sailing off to Cuba next month so we decided he needed a bon voyage party.
So that’s what we did. Lots of delicious food (cuban sammies, empanadas, plantains) and yummy beverages were consumed as we hung around, told stories, sang A LOT of songs and laughed til our sides hurt.
Pics to prove it happened!
Crawfish Bread is DELICIOUS!
It’s all chill at the beach.
Making new friends.
There’s always time for shenanigans at the Flori-Bama!
Mike and Mellie take a romantic stroll on the beach.
My buddy, Captain Mike, and me at the Flori-Bama
Can’t wait to go back! A million thanks to Captain Mike, his lovely lady Karen and my bestie Mellie for making Eric and me feel so welcome!
xoxo, Patti

Good Morning Darlings!
My business partner, Carrie and I just threw our first annual Haunted Hollywood party for Atlanta Movie Tours. In this installment, I will share photos and talk about the evening.
As we are essentially in holiday party mode as of NOW (really, Target, couldn’t you wait to put out those Christmas decorations?), I am going to let you know my true feelings about party giving, and those guests…..
This is something that is rarely seen (or read) here. I try to be sweet and dear, but sometimes a girl just has to rant.
Come on in.

My love affair with the Ritz-Carlton hotels continues.
How are they courting me now?

After a week of zombie wrangling (see: Atlanta Movie Tours), I had the chance to immerse myself in delicious girly goodness at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead.
Please join me for tea!

Good Morning Darlings!
This month our Cookbookery Club chose The Southern Foodways Alliance Community Cookbook. It included recipes for all things southern and delicious.
It was more like Thanksgiving than a Saturday night
