this ain’t your usual friday the 13th
today is cause for celebration! “why?” you ask? it’s usually a day full of bad luck. but no, not today… because today is the 5th anniversary of pop the cap in north carolina. {photo credit} it’s the day the 6% alcohol limit on beer was lifted. the day that killian’s lost it’s title as highest [...]
the day i met the pioneer woman
now i know that this blog focuses on things that mr. lusher & i do, cook, eat & drink together, but i did something without him recently that is far too awesome to leave out. i met the pioneer woman. and a group of great new friends. the day started with blair & i grabbing [...]

weekend in review: dogfish head dinner
no. we really didn’t do much in the way of cooking this weekend, but we still managed to do a good deal of eating & drinking, friday night being the highlight. if you read my previous post you knew that we were a) really glad it was friday and b) super pumped to be going [...]
rip: the rockford
if everything i’ve read is true, then it’s a sad day in nc’s capital city. the rockford, discreet upstairs hideaway from all the hair gel & tight graphic tees that perpetuate glenwood avenue, has shut its doors. abc (apple, bacon cheddar) sandwiches, reasonably priced microbrew pints, slightly hipster crowds, those really steeps stairs that test [...]

when foodies get married: the cake
weddings & cake go hand in hand. soooo much emphasis is put on how that cake looks & in our career as professional wedding guests, (no. really. i don’t think we had a free weekend in the summer of 2008.) we’ve had a lot of dry, tasteless (but pretty!) cake. it’s a bummer too, because [...]
