Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Last night, Chef Eric Brownlee and his staff at The Katharine Brasserie made The BCPF’s and my anniversary dinner (and experience) one of the most memorable. We had foie gras, locally-sourced chanterelle mushrooms, NC oysters, beef tartare, mussels, NC trout, steak au poirve (with peppercorns), duck breast, and three sorbets (lemon-lime, passionfruit, strawberry (with…
Salutations™!! Today marks the seventh anniversary of The BCPF’s and my wedding day. Here’s how it happened: Alright, it’s time for the wedding story. So The BCPF had stuffed her wedding dress into a vacuum bag and sucked the dickens out of the bag until it was a brick of white mess. Of course, I…

I’m actually reprinting the story as told by me on September 9, 2014. Alright, it’s time for the wedding story. So The BCPF had stuffed her wedding dress into a vacuum bag and sucked…
Salutations™!! September 27 is the last anniversary of the year that The BCPF and I “officially” recognize. We celebrate our first date on July 21. We celebrate our engagement on July 31. We celebrate the big one, the wedding anniversary on September 2. And, we celebrate the anniversary of the big shindig in which our…
Salutations™!! I”m going to skip all the anniversary storytime stuff that I normally put on these. I figure that by now I’ve said all I can say without being redundant. I could probably go back a year, two years, three years and copy and paste something, but this one is different. It’s the first time…
