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…

raleigh world beer fest 2010
Beer Fest, even tempered by mid-afternoon rain, is always a good time. And a photographic paradise!
carrboro farmer’s market
carrboro farmer’s market, originally uploaded by minervacat. A few weeks ago, shep. shared this New York Times article on people who photograph their food on Google Reader, and I just wanted to echo her sentiment from the original share: food photography on that level will make you a lunatic, and I still both miss it…

uncle jack’s 60th birthday party
uncle jack’s 60th birthday party, originally uploaded by minervacat. Yesterday I caught up on my entire creating and uploading backlog of food photography; 21 days of November. And can I just say? I am so frelling tired of my Everything I Ate project. So. Goddamned. Tired. Back in January, I had the ambitious idea that…
