Our annual order of Benton’s bacon has arrived! Ok, to be honest, there are 3 family’s worth of orders here, but it’s fun to see so much bacon all in one place, isn’t it? Let BLT season begin! Related posts: […]
Something tells me this might be the last Christmas morning I sleep in for a very long while. So we took advantage of that! A few gifts to exchange, a big breakfast of French toast and brown sugar, black pepper […]

We’d read about this cool sausage place – local hogs, artisanal craft, you know the deal! – in an article on Chattanooga in Garden & Gun magazine. So we decided to pop in for a few things. Related posts: Anniversary […]
Irene came over for a glass of wine on the porch, and we found ourselves enjoying the warm weather so much that we didn’t want to leave to go downtown to the pub. We scrounged in the kitchen and found […]
