The Kitchen Chronicles (Kind Of)

I'm not a chef..nor do I play one on TV. But because I work into the early part of the evenings during the week, every so often I like to step into foreign territory for me -- the kitchen -- to help my wife (or at least that's what I call it) whip up a … Continue reading The Kitchen Chronicles (Kind Of)

Postscript On The Confederate Flag

South Carolina has moved to put this episode behind it.  I shall do the same...following this post. I did not see the ceremony to retire the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina State House grounds.  I happened to have a doctor's appointment at that time.  My wife snapped the photos you'll see in this … Continue reading Postscript On The Confederate Flag

It's getting to be that time again.

A ‘Holy City’ of Forgiveness In The Shadow of Tragedy

I originally sub-titled this blog before putting up my first post "When the news that should make sense...doesn't". What happened in my hometown of Charleston, SC this week truly did not make sense. I know Charleston to be a welcoming city.  It was with that spirit that the members of "Mother Emanuel" -- Emanuel A.M.E. … Continue reading A ‘Holy City’ of Forgiveness In The Shadow of Tragedy

A Little Bit of South..In My Mouth!

No one told me...and I'm a bit disappointed by that. I've lived in Charleston, SC; Raleigh, NC and Memphis.  Each city..when it comes to food..has a taste all its own.  I'll stack Charleston's seafood up against anybody.   Raleigh -- which is the center of a state founded on agriculture -- has some of the best … Continue reading A Little Bit of South..In My Mouth!
