Book of Longing by Philip Glass

This weekend, Rob and I had the great pleasure of attending Charleston’s Spoleto Festival to see Philip Glass’s Book of Longing, a composition based on the poetry of Leonard Cohen. It was really very beautiful, silly, and provocative; we loved it. And thanks so much to Elizabeth & Seth for letting us stay in their gorgeous penthouse! We had a […]

Fried Okra

In farmers markets of South Carolina, Okra is a great vegetable available all summer long. Pick up a, “Mess of Okra,” and serve it fried for a really tasty treat!

Fit Flops

Ever since I’ve started receiving the Bliss catalog, I’ve wanted a pair of MBT’s. I just haven’t been able to part with the $250 it would require to purchase these super-advanced cellulite-burning shoes.

Work Wildlife

I haven’t been doing anything interesting but working lately, but I’d thought I’d post some pictures of animals I meet when I leave in the evening. I’m not exactly sure of the species or anything, but I generally know that the pictures show a skink/gecko/lizard, a squirrel (chilling out under my vehicle), and a grasshopper of some sort. eta: This […]
