    Went a total of four times this year – all four were fantastic, per the usual. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncsulilwolf/sets/72157625109184059/ Tuesday: The boys wanted to go for dinner. Saw a cow utterly object (nice play on words, right?) to practicing in the show circle any longer by hopping over the fence and running out of the building… with…

    Nick and I (and really mostly me in that equation) have a weekly CSA (community-sustained agriculture) service we can buy from and have delivered — The Produce Box. I totally forgot to login before 9pm tonight and pick out which Produce Box I wanted for this upcoming week. This girl certainly lucked out, however! Check…

    This girl has the best idea EVER. I freakin’ LOVE sandwiches!(And love even more that she will downright bring it to you!) http://www.porchrockin.com/ Essentially, she posts a menu on Sunday night. You email, call, or text to place an order. Lunch arrives at your location on sandwich day. How cool is that?? The breads she…

    … then you’ve probably observed that everyone who does not eat pickles will give me theirs. (Love my friends!) I am also a potato chip connoisseur. Not just any potato chips will do. I’m a big fan of the really crunchy ones – generally known as kettle-cooked chips. I picked up lunch from Durham’s Parker…

    Carrie Underwood just seems like my kind of girl. If someone was to ask me “Who would you like to be for a day?”… I think she’d probably make a good answer. From my pal Broadway on Air (we don’t actually know each other either, but Broadway also seems like my kind of guy and…

    …and that totally includes chocolate and champagne. 😉 While posting an event for RaleighNYE.com (which was a smashing success, by the way… big thanks to everyone who visited or passed it along!), I came across a young professionals group that puts on some really cool social events around town to benefit the NC Museum of…

    Ok, it is terrible that I might need to rely on a delivery service to provide me with local, fresh produce when I pass the NC Farmers Market multiple times a day. That being said, this will still ensure I get to support local agriculture even with my “I don’t have time to grocery shop”…

    …and I say this in the nicest way possible: SUCKS WHEN IT COMES TO DINNERTIME. Well, that’s as nice as I could make it. It’s downright frustrating. The man (boy in this situation, because it’s quite illustrative of the attitude of a 5 year old) is picky when it comes to food. I don’t even…

    I received some delicious responses to yesterday’s post about Natty Light Chicken and cooking with beer. In honor of that, I’m posting a fantastic giveaway that everyone would be crazy not to enter themselves into! My favorite local gift and decorative accessories boutique, Swagger Gifts, has been hosting a Facebook Friday of the Week (see…
