Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
It turns out I was dismissed after day one of jury duty. There’s a lot of whining involved with jury duty, but I always thought being part of the judicial process seemed cool. I was also Captain of my high school Mock Trial team so perhaps it’s me just trying to recapture my youth. After…

After weeks of crazy, I latched onto a week with few plans and didn’t let go. Sure, I have a happy hour planned tonight and a concert/night out on Saturday, but that’s far more relaxing than the last few weeks. For sanity’s sake, I promised myself I wouldn’t add anything else to the schedule. I’ve…

This week, I was coming off a UGA win, so I was in a pretty good mood. That’s not the only reason this week was good. Read on: It can be hit or miss, but I love H&M. The low prices make it the perfect place to pick up trendier items. Now just imagine how…

I don’t usually go crazy over sugary stuff and my sweet tooth is discerning – I don’t like just anything, but I usually like a little something sweet to finish off a meal. As I was leaving brunch yesterday, I walked by Three Tarts, a combo dessert and gift shop in Chelsea. Truthfully, it wasn’t…
