Before I went to college, I rarely ate fast food. I could count on one hand the amount of times I’d been to Burger King (I still can, actually). If McDonald’s didn’t have Monopoly or Hardee’s didn’t have to-die-for, amazing breakfast biscuits, they, too, would both fall into this category of “scarcely consumed.” When we […]
Most people who have grown up in New Orleans or spent their college and twenty-something years in the area know F&M’s for it’s cheese fries and animal print covered pool table. Normally, its not the kind of place you step foot in before midnight. For the past few months, however, a pop-up restaurant has kept the […]
The first time I had Brussels sprouts was, I think, the Thanksgiving when I was 16. My mom told my brother and I beforehand that she was serving them and I know I made a horrible, ick face. It was the kind of face I hate when picky eaters make – and I’m no picky […]
I recently decided I wanted to start crafting. I’m not the crafty sort, although when I modge podged together strange collages as a child, always searching through magazines for the elusive “z” so my name could be included amongst the bizarre assortment of funny animals, semi-fashionable outfits, and heads of ‘90s pop icons (J.C. Chasez, […]
For the past month, I’ve been working on creating a New Orleans-centric banner for the Everyday Epicurean. I thought this would be easy. Just put some typical NOLA food in front of a great local scene and BAM I have a good banner. It doesn’t work like that. I realized this after an hour-long photo […]
I am from Alabama. I’ve never been able to say I was born in Alabama because I was born during my parents’ three years in NYC. My grandmother tried her hardest to get my pregnant mother back below the Mason-Dixon line before I was born but she lost that battle. I was born during what […]
When I was little, all of my friends would get their Christmas trees right after Thanksgiving. I would go spend the night and listen to Christmas carols and enjoy their fully decorated trees and then go home to my house that was in full Advent mode. Yes, we decorated for Advent, the season before Christmas. […]
Last week, I went grocery shopping without a list, which is a terrifying thing for me. I like having a very precise grocery list that I can systematically check off while I shop. I partly like to do this because I really enjoy checking things off lists – it makes me feel productive. But I […]
On Christmas morning, my brother and I each have a piece of living room furniture that is “our present spot.” I get the white couch. He gets the green chair. My mother always moves our stockings from the mantel to “our present spot.” The first thing I saw when I came downstairs this year was […]
If I didn’t have to eat, I would probably hibernate like a bear in the winter. But somewhere beneath my utter dislike of cold weather, a happy little girl is bundled in five layers of jackets, scarves, and hats trying to raise her puffy-jacketed arms to gleefully shout, “now’s the time to eat comfort food!” […]
