Can you say YUM!

Can you see past the drool on my screen? How incredible do those biscuits look. I have a pretty good recipe a la Martha that has always served me well, but these biscuits are in an entirely different universe. And guess what, you don't have to travel to Charleston for a taste, although that's a great excuse to go to Charleston in my humble opinion. Nope, they are just a click, or two, away at Callie's Charleston Biscuits. I'm heading over there right now...

42 pounds of carbs (and no, we are not talking about my thighs!)

My dining room has been taken siege by giant loaves of chocolate cinnamon bread. No, I will not eat it all, although I probably could. These are gifts for the neighbors and the smell inside my house is AMAZING. Must march this small army straight out of my house before I succumb to dangerous thoughts of ....I think I am falling prey to bread delirium...

Must do that again

The last 24 hours have been so much fun. We had a wonderful stay at the W hotel midtown. The room was ultra modern, yet totally comfortable and a visual feast. I'm so glad I had my trusty iphone along to capture the good times. The concert was fantastic. We loved the venue, the Tabernacle. There wasn't a bad seat in the house, so to speak. It's a relatively small space, so other than bothersome tall people, we had a terrific view of Jason Mraz. And the singing did not disappoint! He is really a fantastic showman; so charismatic and relaxed on stage, and a voice that sounds equally strong fronting a complete band ensemble or solo, stringing along with the guitar. I hope to have a chance to see him again, maybe with the kiddos next time. Lastly, to top off an already memorable night, the mister had made reservations at Shaun's for brunch. We've been lucky enough to eat at all of his previous restaurants and this latest incarnation is equally superb. The interior was as delicious as the food. It's in a beautiful old building in Inman Park with fantastic original tile floors, creamy white painted mouldings, and striking original windows. We had a delicious meal, over did it as usual, and the company was the best. Thanks Mister P, it was wonderful, you thought of everything!
