I’ve always been more of a people-watcher than a beach reader. Before our recent vacation, I planned to listen to a lot of Bob Dylan and flip through some magazines between my frequent bouts of stir-craziness. I brought two books to the beach in case I got the itch toRead more
Last time I blogged about our garden, everything had just gone into the ground. Now that spring is slowly turning into summer, everything is starting to grow. We’ve lost a plant or two, but everything else is doing great — especially compared to last year’s blight.

This time of year, green tomatoes are available at the local farmers’ market. I usually chop them up for a Caprese salad or fry them. There’s no standard southern style for fried green tomatoes. Like pimento cheese, recipes differ from region to region and from family to family. I preferRead more
Most people aren’t familiar with bulgur, but it’s just cracked wheat. Think of it as a cheaper and puffier version of cous cous. It’s probably the easiest grain in the world to cook. All you do is measure one part bulgur into a bowl, add about two parts hot liquid,Read more
My job involves staying up to date with social media trends. As part of that effort, I keep a Hobby Blog. It’s mostly a public scrapbook for my friends and family. I also keep a travelogue of my outdoor adventures at C.C. Hikes.
