The fiercest photo you’ll see all week: Photo of the Day: National Geographic There is simply not enough electric cello in my life I have a spaghetti squash taunting my from the kitchen counter as we speak. Prepare to die. Sadly, my favorite La Condesa creation, the Raspberry Lemonade cocktail, is not on this list.
Say hello to one of my very good reasons for lack of posts recently – my super-cute nephew Campbell. He’s a teething, drooling machine, but with those sweet cheeks and blue eyes, who could possibly mind the slobber? Here is Camp with my Daddy (his Pop) at The River Market in Tuscaloosa last weekend. I’m […]
This post has been sitting – unfinished – for more than a week. And it’s not an earth-shattering piece on anything important. It’s Links. Quite possibly the easiest type of post to write. But we’ve been a bit distracted. This guy – Gussie – the love of my life (don’t worry, my husband is a […]

What I lack in passion for beer I more than make up for in passion for old places with new life. And the old Pearl Brewery in San Antonio has more than its fair share of new life! Pearl relocated its brewing and canning operation from Downtown San Antonio – leaving old buildings and warehouses […]
If you find yourself at loose ends in San Antonio on a Saturday, do yourself a favor and head over to the Pearl Farmer’s Market downtown. Filled to the brim with fresh produce and canned treats, each vendor features foods from within 150 miles of San Antonio – ensuring visitors get only local fare. There […]
The King William Historic District in San Antonio is a 25-block neighborhood near Downtown on the south bank of the San Antonio River. And it’s lovely.
