Meatloaf For A Crowd

Written by Patti on June 10th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

Oh, you know how we are here in the south. We have to make sure everyone is fed. And fed well.

One night not so long ago, we had our dear friend, Johnny P. over for supper. I made meatloaf. To feed about 20. You never know how hungry men will be. Or who might stop by.

Did we eat it all?

Good Morning Darlings!

Everyone in the south knows the only fabric that will keep you looking cool and fresh in this terrible heat is seersucker. It looks wonderful on both men and women and the season for it is now.

What else would you wear to that garden party with your precious hat?

Keeping fresh after the fold…

Postcards from NYC

Good Morning Darlings!

You know Eric and I had the best time visiting New York. Our sweet friend, Johnny P., lent us his Brooklyn Heights apartment and upon arrival, saw the most breathtaking view of the Statue of Liberty. Amazing.

I though you all would like to see some photos.

Enjoy!

Visit NYC with me!

Good Morning Darlings!

Hope you had a perfect weekend. Ours was fabulous. Eric & I saw Yacht Rock on Friday Night at Park Tavern under the stars, ate at Tantra Saturday night (more on that later) and lazed about all day Sunday watching a Party Down marathon.

Oh, I guess you are tuning in to see the answer to Friday’s quiz?

Lets get on with it.

For The Love of Ginger

Written by Patti on June 1st, 2011

I love ginger. I love ginger so much that I am now officially a redhead.

But today I am talking about a very exotic ginger….

Cue the Gilligan’s Island theme music!

Good Morning Darlings!

After 17 days of vacation with my love, Eric, I seem to be a little out of touch.
