Friday, April 26, 2019 Greetings from Carrboro, It’s hard not to like Oregon. If the state were an actor, it would be Paul Rudd. Am I wrong? Indubitably charming. Hip. But not too hip. Smart. But never annoying. I mean, Oregon is sort of the geographic version of a fantasy BFF. Because really most […]
Rosé Soirée on the patio this Thursday
Greetings from Carrboro, Sometimes English just doesn’t cut it. Nuance demands some other mot juste that feels – I don’t know – right. Take this Thursday, April 25th. Acme is having a righteous party with music and food and lots and, well, lots of rosé. But I can’t just call it a rosé party; the word “party” is way […]
Now taking reservations for Easter brunch
Thursday, April 11th, 2019 Greetings from Carrboro, My parents skipped any and all details. For obvious reasons. Because face it; conjuring a tableau where some super-sized rodent sneaks into the house in the dark of night could seriously traumatize a kid – no matter how beatific the floppy-eared beast is made to be. Add to that […]
Finca Decero Argentine wine dinner 4/18
Thursday, April 4th, 2019 Greetings from Carrboro, The seal-covered Falklands. Machu Picchu. Fabled stories of swarming piranhas eating cows in the Amazon. Just a few disparate images. But by and large, the alpha and omega of my uneducated view of South America ultimately came down to the scantily clad women dancing in Rio during Carnival. […]
Now taking patio reservations!
Wednesday, March 27th, 2019 Greetings from Carrboro, Appointments are serious. There certainly is no aura of clandestine pleasure whenever the word is invoked. No perusing the possible joys of that reminder on your calendar. There’s more the weight of necessity. It’s not like anyone tags their dental appointment with a request for a softer chair […]
St. Patrick’s Day weekend deliciousness
Greetings from Carrboro, Miami Beach has it’s own diet. And, of course, there is that equally popular Mediterranean plan to svelte-hood. Both invoke the warm, healthy & carefree thing. (Bacon? What’s bacon?) And then there’s the ever-popular cleanse trend where universally disliked vegetables and lawn trimmings are unendingly force-fed in disguised liquid form. For the same […]
Meet the Makers dinner 3/20: Foothills Brewing
Greetings from Carrboro, Somehow Löwenbräu never inspired me. And as far as I know, my night never actually belonged to Michelob. Though I must admit to a solid stretch of college when I was enamored with drinking Bass Ale. Ok, I admit that it was the cosmopolitan air I assumed radiated from the tall, brown bottle that seduced me more […]
Acme Mardi Gras starts Thursday
Greetings from Carrboro, I was intrigued. For the second day in a row, he’d set up a yard sale of sorts in the small, fenced front yard. The usual bric-a-brac. A used-that-morning toaster oven. Two wooden, hand-painted captain’s chairs. He was a large man by any standard and lounged on the front porch calling out […]
Ehlers Estate winemaker dinner 3/6
February 23, 2019 Greetings from Carrboro, I didn’t buy it. Even as a 14 year-old. The trees were all wrong. There was too much dust. And just way too many fashionable cowboy hats. Let’s be real; the entire Dukes of Hazzard set was about as Southern as a toasted onion bagel. With a schmear. Unless by Southern […]
Galentine’s Day 2019. It’s a thing.
Greetings from Carrboro, Some things you just can’t deny. Because when a thing really becomes a legit thing – not just, you know, an ordinary thing but an actual, honest-to-god THING, well what can you do but happily embrace it with open arms? I know some people will always fight it. That’s a big, 2019 “Hello” to […]
