Good Morning Darlings!

Last night, my friend and business partner, Carrie, were out and about scouting locations for our newest Atlanta Movie Tour. This one will be based on Atlanta’s favorite housewives and will be called The Keeping It Real Tour.

It goes on sale next week and will start on June 25th (shameless plug!)

Anyhoo, after a few locations, we decided we needed a nosh, but didn’t want to cook.

What should 2 hungry entrepreneurs do?

I love poker. I love game night. I love parties.

But I hate dusting and vacuuming before everyone arrives.

I need alternatives!

Wednesday Nights With Watershed!

Written by Patti on May 3rd, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

I love fried chicken. On Tuesday night here at the house I tried to fry some chicken for some friends. How did it go? I dang near burned the house down trying to fry chicken. It was wildly embarrassing. We ended up grabbing take out. See? It’s not all glam parties at my house. Every once in a while we have a clunker. But sparkling conversation made up for my kitchen gaffes and my husband’s running out to grab edible eats saved the night.

There is hope!

 

Off To New Orleans

Good Morning Darlings!

You would think that spending time at the Ritz-Carlton would sate my hunger for luxury.

Not so.

It only makes me crave more.

How about a trip to NOLA?
