Back in June, soulful British singer-songwriter Anna Krantz unleashed her new EP, Foundation. Mixing a little bit of Nashville, some Carole King and K.D. Lang with messages of love, friendship and growing up, Foundation, shows an artists ability to take music and themes that are commonplace and make them there own. Anna does this in a way that forces the listener to not retreat back [...]
I arrived home the other day with a huge box waiting on my doorstep. It was way too big to include a record so I knew it wasn’t anything I had purchased. I laid it on the table and went about an evening training for my upcoming half marathon. When I arrived back home after the run, the box was empty (except for a cat) [...]
J-Fur and I visited a new Farmer’s Market this weekend. It was much more impressive than the one we’ve been frequenting (although it was also more expensive). As we were checking out, I glanced back at a table overloaded with ginger and I caught a glimpse of a sinister looking bucket. On the side, scrawled in blood, were the words “Ghost Peppers: Hottest in Tampa.” [...]

The ones who don’t have to have a working lunch [...]
The second stage in chili pepper domination found me knee deep in a familiar place, Thailand. Now I’ve never officially been to Thailand but I’ve eaten enough “Thai food” to be an adopted son of the country. With that adoption comes legal papers that allow me to cook food and deem it “Thai” no matter how inauthentic it is. I guess that is a long [...]
Savannah, Georgia is a beautiful city that is inundated with history. From the squares that celebrate famous people in American history to Juliette Gordon Low’s birthplace (the founder of the Girl Scouts) to the St. Patrick’s Day celebration to Bonaventure Cemetery (where the likes of Oscar Wilde and Jack Leigh have gone for inspiration and Johnny Mercer and Conrad Potter Aiken now rest) Savannah seems [...]
