30 Before 30: #30 – Redesign the Blog

I had the hardest time choosing the last item on my 30 Before 30 list.  I thought I had come up with an exhaustive bucket list that stopped after 29 items.  But, really, that’s not true.  There had been a little voice in my head all along saying “just do it.  doooo it.”  The “it” the…

Hibachi Heaven

A major hole has been filled.  If you wanted hibachi in NYC your only option was Benihana.  Yummy, but it’s a whole sit down process and definitely on the more expensive side.  And if you wanted takeout style hibachi (like my beloved Hiawa’s in Savannah or Inoko Express in Athens), you were completely out of…

I made it through a very busy weekend only to realize I have plenty of plans lined up for the upcoming weekends.  Everything I’m doing is very Fall, and I love taking advantage of the season.
