This mini-roadtrip with Mama had three purposes: look at art on barns; hang out with Mama; and eat at a few more places on the Our State list of 100 things in eat in North Carolina’s 100 counties. We hit three in two days, and they were all interesting. From top to bottom, the Hot…

perfect vacation: eat, sleep, go to cemeteries
The Maternal Unit is also into eating, so she was totally down with my life list goal of eating all 100 foods on Our State’s 100 Foods To Eat In NC’s 100 Counties. We knocked out two together, Pickled Carolina Collards w/ Habanero Peppers from Angela’s Pepper-Pickled Foods (New Hanover County) and Conch Fritters at…
beasley’s chicken & honey
Ashley Christensen’s Beasley’s Chicken & Honey was probably the most talked about restaurant in Raleigh during Hopscotch, and Saturday between day parties and the City Plaza shows I strong-armed shep. and C. in to try it out — we all had the chicken biscuit, with mustard, honey, and pickled green tomatoes, and each had a…

promo: the night kitchen
I spent some time yesterday afternoon taking headshots of my friend Heather and her business partner Kala, for their new home bakery business, the Night Kitchen. It’s interesting, trying to get natural shots of people who are very conscious of your camera. I think I got some winners. When their website goes up, I will…
dim sum
dim sum, originally uploaded by minervacat. I sort of miss taking pictures of my food, in a masochistic self-flagellating habit-forming way, so I made my mama and my aunt suffer while I took pictures of our dim sum lunch on Saturday. I left the camera at home Sunday night when we were eating tapas or…

permanent view, originally uploaded by minervacat. I decided I wanted to start 2010 with a clean iTunes slate, so this week I put my epic Drive-By Truckers re-listen on hold to frantically plow through everything that was built up in my various unplayed and/or unrated playlists. I am getting much, much better about acquiring music…

thanksgiving oh-four, originally uploaded by minervacat. Bartlet: Stuffing should be stuffed inside the turkey, am I correct? Operator: It can also be baked in a casserole dish. Bartlet: Well, then we’d have to call it something else, wouldn’t we? Operator: I suppose. Bartlet: If I cook it inside the turkey, is there a chance I…
