Remember my surprise (and enjoyment) at how NC event boasts a Hot Sauce Festival?
Triangle Brewing Company has a cool video on their blog with pictures from the event… take a look!
Looks like it was a beautiful day in Oxford for it – would’ve been nice to check it out in person!
A collection of some good to know local info from yesterday’s blogosphere…
Add this to the ridiculously long list of things to do this Saturday:
the Town of Cary’s Lazy Daze festival!
Another from Sue Stock – the business news writer who keeps us on our retail toes:
Replacements will be selling more than 100,000 pieces of overstocked merchandise. Unlike previous years, shoppers will pay a $5 entrance fee and then $5 for a box that they can then fill with as much yard sale merchandise as it will hold. (Yes, you can buy multiple boxes.) Items in the separate sidewalk sale section of the event will still be priced per item.
No, not the Buckhead band (who still manage to amaze me with their on-stage shenanigans on Friday and Saturday evenings), but the real hot sauce!
From today’s Boss’ Planner, Jonny mentions September 13th as the date for the NC Hot Sauce Festival… further proof that we’ll have a festival for anything! But hey, I’m not complaining.
While I probably won’t be at that event (darn you, acid reflux), I still think it’s a fun idea.
Clarification: apparently it’s the “hot sauce contest” as Google search results would have it.
But you can definitely give it a good try with Savor Hospitality‘s video-blog (vlog)!

I’ve actually had the awesome opportunity to meet the Savor Hospitality folks at a bridal association event we hosted at Buckhead on our sweet new deck and their lunch catering was DELISH!

For those of you who have never had the luxury of tasting the deliciousness that is a Krispy Kreme doughnut… you have no idea what you’re missing.
While delicious, sometimes even one is just too much for me.
I’m really excited about the press release posted today on Carolina Business Connection (by far, one of my FAVORITE local newswires) about a lightly-glazed variation being offered through March 28th. Maybe it’ll be so popular it’ll become a permanent addition… well, a girl can dream, right?
Here’s a little blurb about the feature doughnut:
The new featured doughnut is a yeast-raised ring drizzled lightly with Krispy Kreme’s Original glaze.
“With just a touch of glaze atop one of Krispy Kreme’s original doughnuts, we’ve put a new spin on that one of a kind taste,” said Ron Rupocinski, Krispy Kreme’s Executive Chef.
Lightly glazed doughnuts are offered for a limited time from now until March 23 at participating Krispy Kreme locations. For more information, please visit http://www.krispykreme.com/.”
