A woman in my real estate class recently walked up behind me and remarked that I ought to buy stock in Starbucks. I guess this was a poorly-veiled attempt to let me know she thinks I’m a Starbucks snob, as I came to class each Saturday and Sunday morning with a Starbucks coffee in hand. [...]

Home sweet home
I flew home to New Jersey on Monday. And then I flew home to Asheville last night. It’s a weird state of mind, really.
Which one is truly home? Obviously I live in Asheville, and I’ve started to refer to it as home. But I’m not ready to stop calling Jersey or Philly home.
One thing is for sure [...]

Not so Adornable
Well, I spoke too soon.
(which is nothing new for me, by the way)
A few days ago I raved about Adorn… you know, Asheville in a salon.
And then as I sat in the chair last night looking at my newly acquired splotchy, yellow-gold highlights, I realized cheap only gets you so far. Apparently it gets you a [...]

Stoney Knob
I’m a sucker for mushroom raviolis… and Stoney Knob’s are the best.
Just imagine: Wild Mushrrom stuffed Ravioli infused in a Sun-Dried Tomato, Garlic, Walnut Cream Sauce with Parmesan & Feta Cheese.
And they’re even better than they sound.
Apparently the other meals at Stoney Knob are excellent, not that I would know. Those raviolis even kept me coming back [...]

Here I am at Inspiration Point:
At this moment I had no idea what was [...]

Adornable
It seems like there are 1,204,568 salons in Asheville.
I think I’ve found Asheville in a salon.
Quirky, fun, colorful, authentic, creative, artsy, and… cheap.
OK, Asheville’s not cheap. But that’s why I love this place–it’s the only place I can afford to get a haircut 3 times a year (rather than once) while living in Asheville.
I got [...]

Frida at Asheville Art Museum
It’s a woman, in case you were wondering.
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, to be precise.
The Asheville Art Museum will be screening “Frida”, the award-winning film about Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, May 3-4 at 2 pm. The film, starring Selma Hayek as Kahlo, was nominated for 6 Oscars, and won 2, in 2003. The Asheville Citizen Times [...]

blogging to myself
Well I’m told I’ll be blogging to myself for a while… but I don’t seem to have a problem talking to myself, so this should be easy.
Raucous Rooster is an idea I dreamed up one day last summer. I discovered the super popular e-newsletter Daily Candy (www.dailycandy.com), and thought Dany Levy’s ingenious e-zine formula might be put [...]
