Mary’s is “Best Gay Bar in the Country.” I can’t really say whether I agree or not, since I’m really familiar with gay bars across the country, but I will say Mary’s is always a good time.

Oh God. Crazy cat lady strikes again.
But who can resist the tiny kittens? (Ok, I admit, I have an illness). But I can’t think of a better way to get through the middle of a work week than adorable kitten faces.

Why does everything good have to die?
I suppose it was only a matter of time. A small, some would say ramshackle even, shack on the 14th Street corridor. A corridor due to become nothing but glitzy shiny blandness soon due to redevelopment and a bridge over haul. It never had a chance once they started blasting.
What the hell am I talking [...]

You look good enough to eat!
If your oh-so tasty Bacon Tuxedo. It’s even bacon scented. (When I first saw the item, for a minute I thought it might really be a suit made of woven raw bacon.)
I love bacon as much as the next shiksa but I’m not sure I love it *that* much.

Too Pretty to Burn
J and I are off to Savannah this weekend. The city holds a special place for us, we got engaged there, at the Foley House Inn after a gorgeous dinner at the Sapphire Grill. On more recent trip we stayed at the Hamilton Turner Inn which was nice, but we preferred the Foley House. That [...]

For instance, you can get a $25 “certificate” for a restaurant for $10 (some restrictions apply). Right now, they’re offering 70% so that the $25 is now $3. Not [...]

Random Round Up
1. Remember The Limited? If you spent any significant amount of your teenage years at the mall you surely do. I can’t remember the last time I shopped there but this weekend gives me good incentive – it’s family and friends weekend, everyone gets 30% off. I think you have to have [...]

Most excellent summer dinner
This is not a recipe and there is nothing earth shattering here – it’s mostly a gussied up caprese plate. But dear goodness was it mighty delicious last night! I had to go on a quest for fresh mozzarella – I tried the Italian market mentioned below on Sunday – of course it was closed [...]

Intriguing – Pickens Energy Plan
It’s all over the news – T. Boone Pickens’s Plan to create a wind turbine energy corridor in the mid west and move to natural gas in order to lessen the United State’s dependence on foreign oil. Currently, he’s putting up a large amount of his own capital to fund this. It will be interesting [...]

Sam Adams Summer Ale
I’m not a fan of Sam Adams, in general. I really enjoy their Oktoberfest. I think I like their Summer Ale as well. I can’t quite remember. But they were all gone at the end of the day. I suppose that’s as true a testament as any to its goodness. [...]
