If you said "by adding an N," you'd be on the right track. An N as is No way, Not possible, Never happening and Not since you bought that wine bar. You see, the girls and I decided months ago that a road trip between Christmas and New Year's Eve to Asheville seemed like the … Continue reading How Asheville became Nashville

Tara Kitchen
Sunday, more than ever, has become my "Me" day. Yesterday I had hours to myself to do whatever I felt like - once the waffles and bacon had been cooked, served and cleaned up and payroll had been done and the sheets had been changed and I had met with Linda Kindlon at Bake for … Continue reading Tara Kitchen

I was spending the night with a school friend who had hippy parents who joyfully exposed me to all sorts of new things - like a water bed, Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, an unusual musky smoke wafting around and pomegranates. Although I have owned a copy of … Continue reading Love apples
