Dulce De Leche — Rich caramel, this gelato pairs beautifully with their red rose. 

Coconut — Sweet coconut is the [...]

Make Valentine's Day Special Without Spending a Fortune!

No matter what you do, do it from the heart with love… that’s the most important thing.  Here are a few of my ideas:

Breakfast in Bed!  Buy the best coffee and croissants and spend your morning in bed… or maybe the day.
Do-it-yourself flowers!  Go to Dekalb Farmer’s Market and buy all the fixings to build your [...]

The Setting:  Atlanta’s classic diner, it’s been serving Atlantans since 1929.  ‘Nuff said.

I LOVE Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the series, of course, not the horrid movie).  I always have… and always will.  It’s a classic series that deserves to be watched… and rewatched.  So, I’m thrilled to see Dushku and Whedon reunited in this new venture.

Eliza Dushku plays Echo.  A member of [...]

Black Chocolate Stout

In a word… phenomenal!

I’m in love with the rich, intense, and amazingly complex flavors.  The first impression is the sweet malty fragrance that you inhale as you take your first sip.  And, then the flavors of malt, burnt caramel, espresso, bitter hops and roasted toasty goodness swirl over your tongue.  The flavors are big, bold [...]

Young's Double Chocolate Stout

As the first Chocolate Stout I’d ever tasted, I was amazed by the rich and complex flavors.  The scent of chocolate is clearly present as you take your first sip.  Then, flavors of malt, hops, and bitter caramel emerge.  Rich and layered, different flavors course through your mind as you take each sip.  Hints of [...]
