I may not look like I've got soul, but believe me, I am an appreciative fan of both the music and the cuisine. I particularly love the side dishes - okra and greens and beans, all cooked in a fryer or with a generous hunk of pork fat, naturally. Of course, eating this kind of … Continue reading Buttermilk Fried Chicken

Burrito!
I had my first taste of Mexican style cuisine at a sleep over birthday party in 6th grade. I can still remember how taken I was with those tacos - crunchy, meaty, cheesy tacos so delicious that the shredded iceberg lettuce and insipid tomatoes couldn't get in the way of my enjoyment.

I've missed you."I'm sure there … Continue reading Acorn squash

Instead, I got to wear something pretty and see people I originally met a couple of decades ago when I first worked for Donna and Yono Purnomo. I've celebrated quite … Continue reading An Albany evening

The Capital City Gastropub opened for business last night and it truly felt like a gift. This place rocks! Yes, yes, I work for … Continue reading I got a restaurant for my birthday!!!
