It’s official. Spring has sprung. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, signaling a few weeks of sporadic spring weather. If you’ve lived in Virginia long enough to experience all four seasons then you may have noticed a trend in our beloved “southern weather”. Whenever the official season change is approaching, the weather will give us … More Spring is here…I think
While looking through my foodie photo albums, I came across a few photos of meals I really enjoyed in 2012. I set out with a few goals in 2012, one of which was to do a bit more traveling. Thankful to have been able to visit New York City for the New York Times Travel … More Weekly Photo Challenge: My 2012 in Pictures
This is a pretty hearty meal. When I saw the weekly photo challenge was “delicate”, this meal came to mind. This photo was taken almost 6 years ago when I worked for “the State” in downtown Richmond, Virginia.

I don’t know what I was thinking about that put me in the mood to try three different Thai or Asian fusion restaurants in one week. My insides were taken on a roller coaster ride of regret but my taste buds had a ball! Like many of us in the U.S., I am on a … More Sawasdee Thai Cuisine

You guys don’t know (if you’ve ever been busy maybe you do … More Artisans Bakery & Café
It was a Monday. I was actually still on a pretty good buzz (just a natural high, folks) from a good weekend and didn’t want that feeling to end. I’d been productive. Worked out. Wrote a blog post. Life buzz. Early Monday evening while I was still at work I got a call from a … More Yard House Virginia Beach
The first stop on my “road trip” is in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia. Located at 3336 North Boulevard in Richmond’s Northside, Kitchen 64 was a spot I would hit up with high school/college friends when we’d return home to visit parents. And this visit was no different. It had been a few years since … More Kitchen 64
I was born and raised (reared for those old school English buffs) in Richmond, Virginia. Although considered to be a bit slow in pace by some (mostly folks from larger cities or younger people yearning to leave for the pace of larger cities), Richmond has a variety to offer: cultural events, historical sites, parks and … More 64 Eats
