Tea For Two

I spent the afternoon in the company of a dear friend who specializes in Southern grace and charm.

Teresa Cook Carter of Southern Touch Catering in Newnan treated to me to lunch at her lovely home. Her beautiful lunch table included this artful arrangement behind us on the side board and could have just as easily been a beautiful painting by one of the Masters.



Lunch featured these flavorful parmesan crisps filled with a delicious chicken salad delicately flavored with artichoke hearts. We nibbled the cheesy cups while chatting and sipping our perfectly-steeped Passion Fruit Green Tea. Dessert was more delicate treats delicately flavored with chocolate and almonds in the form of a whipped confection and cheesecake.

Teresa's joy in the art of serving tea is showcased in her beautiful displays and attention to detail.  Her passion for good food grows with each catered event and was lovingly reflected in her menu today.

Artist-Walter Anderson

    Make time for the Walter Anderson Museum, an eccentric artist whose work has been labeled "intense and evocative". A daily ritual of rowing twelve miles to an isolated barrier island provided Anderson the opportunity to paint and draw the island's vegetation, birds, animals and insects. Stunning water colors and intricate patterns allow a glimpse into the lonely mind of a brilliant artist. Located on the main street of charming Oceans Springs, Mississippi.

Vernon Kilns Honolulu By Don Blanding

In the mid-80's, Ron and I decided to accept a job offer in San Juan Capistrano, California! We had no money to speak of! About $700 by the time we arrived in California! We arrived on the California coast with a packed 280Z; including our newest family member, Henrietta, a pretty white rescue from the Japonica Street SPCA in New Orleans! We couldn't afford an apartment when we arrived due to the fact we ONLY had $700! We rented a motel room that allowed pets and Ron went to work.  Poor as church mice, we finally struck a deal with a landlord to repair a condo ravaged by too many parties and druggies. It turned out to be a lovely rental after we totally renovated and redecorated! Our time spent in California was wonderful. I think we'd still be there now if not for my unreasonable fear of earthquakes! We loved the food culture, the weather and the friendly people! We particularly loved the Rose Bowl Antique show every month and found the garage and yard sales to be
