Recipe: Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried green tomatoes are one of my favorite small plates meals. I’m the only one in the house that eats them, so I can have all the fried green tomatoes to myself! As a little girl, I learned how to make these from the babysitter’s grandson. He made it seem so easy and it truly is a quick meal. It may have been one of the first dishes I learned…
Pearl’s Southern Comfort
Honestly, I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to write about my wonderful experiences at Pearl’s Southern Comfort. I’ve been to the cajun-creole comfort spot so many times – most of them were pre-covid. During the pandemic, I visited Pearl Southern Comfort a few times, and it was really sad to see no table or bar service. Only a greeter at a table to welcome the delivery food…
Recipe: Tangy Glaze Meatloaf
I rarely cook meatloaf. It’s mostly because I think of it as a glob of meat or a large meatball. Usually when I do make it, it’s because I’m trying to find something different to make, I can’t think of a recipe to use with ground beef, and I want to get in and out of the kitchen! While searching for some recipes on Pinterest, I stumbled up on this…

He works at a nearby hospital and knows some of the “greasy spoon” spots in the area. He’s also a huge fan of…
Smoque BBQ
Since March, I’ve had the opportunity to work remotely due to the pandemic. However, working remotely has kept me from some of my favorite lunch-time restaurants. Well the other day, I decided to stop by the job and put up my little Christmas tree in my office. While taking a break, I had an epiphany to order some carryout from Smoque BBQ! Smoque BBQ uses the Toast Takeout app services for…
Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken
Tonight, Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken appeared on UberEats as an option for residents in the South Shore neighborhood. This covid-restaurant-food-delivery experience is something I’m still learning. It appears certain restaurants are only available via UberEats at certain days and times and also allow travel to my neighborhood. For me this has been an odd experience, because I’ll easily travel to a restaurant to get the food, but having the…
