Oh, Black Friday, you're here again... Somewhere, deep down inside of me, nestled in with the exorbitant amount of butternut squash pie I ate yesterday (and the Bourbon I washed it down with), there's the innate need to shop, to hand off gifts in pretty packaging with poofy bows, to stuff stockings ...
The Thanksgiving Table
A visit to Decade (you'll hear more about them, soon) for dinner a few weeks ago lit the Thanksgiving fire under my rear this season. I ordered a dish so simple and wonderful that all I could think of was the simplicity of a roast turkey and the warm goodness of homemade bread and gravy.

Derby Wrap Up, 2023
Kentucky has entered into that sweet lull after Derby festivities have ended where the city just seems to calm a bit. Restaurant menus go back to normal, schools resume a normal schedule, and you can almost hear the entire service industry population take a deep sigh of relief.
This year, ...
First Week of Spring: A Tabletop
I'm not one to moan and complain about cooler weather. Personally, I'm all for it. I love the cool breezes that make me bundle up in overcoats and enormous scarves. I like knowing it's cold out while I'm inside by a fire, with jammies on and Bourbon in hand. I love the snow. What we get of it, ...
A Derby Weekend Wrap-Up

How to Host a Derby Party
There are a few things we Louisvillians take seriously. UK versus UL in any sport. Our Bourbon. Any recipe remotely resembling fried chicken. And the Derby.
Sure, you'll have a few naysayers that believe that the Derby and all of the festivities surrounding it are nothing but a bunch of pomp ...
Two Derby Time Cocktails (that aren’t Juleps)
Hear me out... I love a julep. Well. I love a julep when it's done well. This is rare. Ask most how to make a mint julep, and they'll tell you to muddle mint (which makes it bitter, in my opinion) with some sugar, toss in some bourbon and water it down. Yuck.
I have a julep recipe from ...
An Easter Table with Supermarket Flowers
The man and I have been making great use lately of our sunroom. While this space isn't nearly what I want it to be (read: I want to make it bigger, drywall the space, drop in a dining light, extend the hardwoods in here, and line the exterior walls with black French doors), after a fresh coat of ...
