While not on the mainstream foodie front as such cities as San Francisco, NYC or L.A., Richmond has a restaurant scene all its own. From elegant settings in refurbished tobacco warehouses to the casual coziness of exposed brick and beams to the tried and true, hole-in-the-wall eateries that only the locals know about, there is a […]
From the Bow of a Boat: Tree Frogs, Fish Tacos and Samplings of Summer
04/22/2013 by
We took the boat out for the first ride of the year last weekend. It’s always nice to get back out on the water after a long, cold winter. We do most of our boating and jet-skiing in the James River or Lake Anna, which is in Louisa County, Virginia. This particular trip was to Lake […]
An Ode to National Pi(e) Day

Move over Hamilton Beach and Cuisinart, there’s a new blender in town. It’s big and it’s colorful and it’s branded by Buffett. Now, I’m not one to wax poetic about kitchen appliances. Or cooking in general, for that matter. You will rarely see me writing about recipes or anything that requires me having to prepare […]
My Mission to Margaritaville

Once upon a time, I sold t-shirts for Jimmy Buffett. We workers in the Merchandise department at Kings Dominion were responsible for that type of thing at concerts…. that little stand where consenting consumers happily hand over their cash to purchase t-shirts, decals, buttons, hats, etc…etc… As a seventeen-year-old, it was a pretty cool deal […]
