Joy of Cooking is one of those groups I’ve heard about for years without knowing a single note of their music (like Nitty Gritty Dirt Band or Hawkwind). A couple months ago, I got a copy of their 1970 self-titled debut album. I liked it very much and it was certainly not what I expected. [...]
“I love rock and roll…”
I love old things. It’s really dangerous to let me in an antique store or a used record or book shop. It’s because I feel as if I’m stepping into a time machine. That’s the hardest thing about the past — knowing what it was really like on a day-to-day basis. If you lived in [...]
Eats in Savannah
Lots of good food in Savannah. Here we see Sweet Leaf Smokery, a terrific little place that doesn’t seem to get a lot of attention.

A taste of sun
Here’s a nice snack option from Trader Joe‘s. Candy-coated chocolate-covered sunflower seeds. I like to think of it as an extraordinarily sophisticated version of Peanut M&M’s.
