Noontime Moonshine & Snow At The Ritz

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

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?

Sailor Jerry

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011

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 have been writing furiously lately. Yes, for the blog, but also for my new venture.

What am I up to?

Mad For Coconut Macaroons

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

I love coconuts. Coconut shrimp, pina coladas at the beach and coconut ice cream.

But what is my most favorite coconut dish?

Davio’s Meet Up!

Good Morning Darlings!

Over 10 years ago, Eric and I said “I do” and then jetted off to honeymoon in Italy.

Ahh, Italy.

What could stir those memories again?

Good Morning Darlings!

My dear friend, Char, knows what I like.

What do I like?

An Antico Feast

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

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?

Vrrroom, It’s Almost Father’s Day!

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

How about this for Dad? Does he love motorcycles? Harley Davidsons? This is for him.

Just like Peter Fonda in Five Easy Pieces!

Atlanta, GA (June 2011)- Looking for something fun to do with Dad to really show him how much he means to you? Come to Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta for a Father’s Day Brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 19.

Remind Dad how important he is at the Father’s Day Brunch, where the normal Sunday Brunch menu has been altered to ensure Dad will get his favorite foods. There will be a buffet with two carving stations, mashed potatoes, delicious vegetables and tons of Dad’s favorite manly sides.

Father’s Day shifts into fifth gear as Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson in Conyers will be providing four motorcycles for the event just for Dad’s entertainment! Two motorcycles will be on display at Park 75, and with a valid motorcycle license and proper clothes [long sleeves, long pants and leather shoes], two of these Harley-Davidson motorcycles will be available for test drive with Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson’s Sales and Promotions Director Joseph “Guido” Cardillo.

If you think your dad deserves something special this Father’s Day, give him a unique day that he is sure to remember for years to come! Cost is $65 per person, including complimentary valet parking. For reservations, call (404) 253-3840 or visit www.OpenTable.com.

xoxo, Patti

Fun Find Friday – Campo Viejo Winery

Friday, June 17th, 2011

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!
