Just back from six days in São Paulo. Initially planned as a solo getaway with the intent to get to a bunch of the “50 Best”, “Michelin Star”, or simply highly recommended by friends in the know kind of restaurants. The kind of places that Henry has little interest in, so I end up not… Read More Standing Out in São Paulo
I’ve been informed by my other half that I need to go back to my various wandering day trips and stop spending so much time at home. A vestige of the last two pandemic years. And, I have missed doing those, it’s just not been easy to motivate myself to get back into them. But,… Read More A Day in Lanús
Last year, along with many other folk in the “foodie” world, I eagerly watched the first season of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy. I enjoyed the scenery and the food, especially the food, and I liked that in each of the six episodes, at some point or another, he took the time to learn how to… Read More Tucci #4
I’m back home, and here’s the wrap-up from the last stretch of the trip! Apologies, this is super-long, and photo intensive, but I just want to get it all in on one post. Although I could have simply driven straight through from Birmingham to Atlanta, it being only a little over a two-hour drive, I… Read More Rollin’ down Buford Highway holdin’ fifteen grand…
A several days visit with our folks, long overdue for the two of us coming in from overseas, but there was this little viral thing. It was some much-needed family time, even after the roadtrip. First stop as we headed north out of Nashville, with Parlor Doughnuts fueling our systems (well, two of us anyway),… Read More I’ve Been Everywhere Man…
On to Music City. Sorry you weren’t here with us, but we’re chugging along. First stop, one of the Birmingham branches of Big Bad Breakfast, 1926 29th Avenue S, Homewood, since we’d been thwarted with our plan to visit the original when passing through Oxford, MS. Chicken and waffles, a breakfast scramble of sorts, or, my… Read More Nashville Without You
Heading south out of Memphis last Saturday morning, our goal was a late breakfast or brunch at the original of the now multi-location chain of Big Bad Breakfast. We headed for Oxford, Mississippi, where, unfortunately, we discovered that it was graduation weekend at U-Miss, and on arrival at the restaurant, found there was a minimum of… Read More Down in Alabama, Mississippi…
Next stop… Memphis. Picture intenstive! We got into Memphis late, got checked into our hotel. It was kind of chilly and looked like rain, so we decided to just grab something light (we had had two barbecue lunches already) across the street at Flight, 39 S. Main Street. We all just ordered small salads – two… Read More Walking in Memphis
