Delicious Greekness

A Culmination of Sweet, Sweet Justice.

January 25, 2012

Chris and I went to Atlanta last weekend. I had a couple of Vault parties in The Big City, and he tagged along to make it a date weekend. Friday night, we went out to eat at Taverna Plaka with Chris’ former roommate and Roommate’s Girlfriend. If you’ve been hanging around here for a while, [...]

A Denim Miracle.

October 2, 2011

So Friday night was the Vault Denim party. Being that this was the first time I had done major party preparation with two kids underfoot, I got a bit over-ambitious in my preparations. Also, every recipe I thought about sounded delicious, so obviously, I had no choice but to make them all. So I spent [...]

The Euphoria of Burlap to Cashmere.

September 2, 2011

I had a moment of indescribable elation this past Wednesday. I was on my way to get my hair cut, enjoying one of those solo car rides I just talked about with my Pandora blasting music, and I was loving every song it was choosing. Thumbs up, thumbs up, thumbs up. Then a very familiar [...]

Attack of the Greeks.

April 15, 2011

Noah here. I’ve got a lot on my mind today, so The Servant Who Calls Herself Mommy said I could use her blog to sort it all out. You see, Ali warned me about our Greek Heritage, and the resulting follicular fallout that has already attacked her.  She said that it would likely ravage my [...]

Pure Magic – The Bright Star

November 22, 2010

With a nickname like The Magic City, you would expect there to be many magical places in the Birmingham area.  And there definitely are – the top of Vulcan, The Patio at The Club, Argyle Road overlooking the city at night, and Sloss Furnaces, to name a few. But my pick for the most magical [...]

Restaurant Critic, Three Year Old Style.

June 16, 2010

I sometimes feel guilty for how familiar my child is with all of the restaurants in town. I mean, what kind of mother AM I that my three year old could give a well-informed tour of the city’s dining establishments, including who has the best Chicken Salad, Grilled Cheeses, and coloring pages?! I mean, I [...]

Destination: Unknown.

April 18, 2010

Friday morning, I woke up to find an empty suitcase with this note on it: It was quite exhilarating – I have never received a note like this before! Well, the surprise we’re-going-out-of-town part, anyway. But the thought-out, typed-up, appropriately-bolded, planning-for-my-aggressive-curiosity-and-telling-me-not-to-ask-for-more-details part – oh yeah, that’s my husband. Ali was quite thrilled with this development [...]

We All Live in a Yellow Atmosphere…

April 8, 2010

It’s Pollen Week in Birmingham. Maybe it is in Alabama as a whole, or the world as a whole. I don’t know. But I do know it’s most definitely pollen week here. Pollen Week is THE week when every flowering and non-flowering tree in the city (and we have a lot of them) conspire together [...]

Alabama, Meet Greece.

December 5, 2009

Chris and I are in Atlanta this weekend for the SEC Championship game. (At this point, I WOULD say that I am fully prepared to comfort my husband in his mourning after the game tonight, but I already got roasted on Facebook for saying that. It’s just that my opinion about the facts trump my [...]
