On these cold and slushy days having lunch delivered to my Clayton office is so nice. We recently discovered Sauce on the Side. I have driven by their location on Forsyth often and for some reason thought it was a BBQ place. They have Clayton and Downtown locations. Their calzones are a treat, though I warn you that you may have to take a nap at work after eating one. Yesterday I needed to stay perky and tried their Smoke House Salad- adding some chicken....very good! Click HERE for their menu and website.

I have heard absolutely raving reviews about this fun restaurant located in Augusta. I am itching to try it myself. The food looks good, and they appear to have a pretty diverse menu which always makes for an exceptional dining experience. It is even family friendly, so you can enjoy it with family after a day of wine tasting and pecking around in the shops that Augusta has to offer. Avid cyclist of The Katy Trail might also enjoy that The Silly Goose will soon be featuring call-ahead picnic baskets packed with delicious food starting this spring, a great way to enjoy a meal without a long intermission on the days ride or even have a more intimate experience with a friend or lover.
Does anyone know why the goose is silly and not the duck? Am I the only one who has wondered this?

Face it, laundry is something that we all have an abundance of. It is the chore that is never done, no matter how hard you try. Between the clothes that you're wearing and the pile that's waiting to go to the dry cleaners it is truly one of life's most daunting tasks. Our friends over at LG have made things a little bit easier. A washing machine that can do TWO loads at once! Granted, one is a tad small, but its a great place to wash that one red shirt that is dirty or those few more delicate items when your main focus at the time should be that load of towels on your bathroom floor. Now if only they could produce a Washer/Dryer System that switched over the laundry and folded it when it was done.

This week I visited Grapeseed located at 5400 Nottingham located in the fun SOHA neighborhood. Close to one of my favorite restaurants- Russell's and Julie Malone's art gallery.
This restaurant is a winner! The frites were served with an aioli dipping sauce and the yummiest catsup spiced with a hint of curry! The Shrimp and Grits are delectable.... And the Flatiron steak was local and flavorful.
I will be back when Julie has her next big Art Opening!
My new favorite place for lunch or even a quick breakfast bite is Whitebox in Clayton. It is a fantastic addition to the area located near the Ritz-Carlton and across from the Carondelet Plaza. A delicious, upscale take on salads, sandwiches and pastries...I love the Pesto Veggie Salad- though I add Chicken.They even offer selective delivery and catering, a good way to make a boring office meeting more exciting.

Pick up a copy of the February 11th edition of Town & Style Magazine. My house is featured in an article. Read the on-line version HERE.
You know when you ask one of your older relatives to take a picture and after four good tries you get one decent photo that has a tiny smudge of a finger at the bottom? That's essentially what must've happened here. Not quite sure if they were trying to be featured in the "Bad Realtor Photography" category or not but they made it with over half of this properties photos highlighting a beautiful guest, a third of someones finger.
This horse looks like it is thinking....."move your finger, ding-a-ling!"

Last night I got back from a week in lovely Puerto Vallarta. We stayed at our regular place- Casa Tres Vidas in Conchas Chinas. Over the years we have stayed at the sister property next door- Quinta Maria Cortez, though having our own chef has spoiled us at Casa Tres Vidas. Lovely weather, great friends and perfect food!
I have noticed increased traction in the media about micro homes. HGTV even has a show completely devoted to people looking to downsize into these houses. Small homes uniquely built on a flatbed trailers for around $30,000. They sure are neat and I applaud all of the innovative ideas to make such a tiny space a luxury home for one or two people. Do you think you could live in something like this?

Check out this neat eco-friendly alternative to cardboard boxes. More durable, sturdy, and stackable! Personally, I feel like this is a great idea and so much less work than having to assemble all of those cardboard boxes and tape them and then fill them only to then end up destroying them and having to find a way to get rid of the mass of beaten boxes when you are finished unpacking. Plus they offer free delivery and removal.
