We love recipes that aren’t that hard and make us look legit. Try homemade ravioli!

Blogging has affected our lives in many ways. There is a long list of pretty interesting blogide effects, but most of them we’d prefer not to go into on the internet (Yes, randomly we get shy about what we put out there. Yes, we are aware there was a week called “Dating Week.” Yes, it was read by the real life boss. Humiliating.) However, one of the side effect is that we are a huge snob about people claiming news that is not news. It’s like nails on a chalkboard to read something in which the author claims they’ve discovered something cool and interesting that everyone already knows about (it’s kind of like when old people talk about facebook – it’s like, yeah…cool…I’m familiar).
That said, we have to tout an old favorite. Henri’s in the a is the most wonderful bakery. Yes, it has been on Irby and a “tradition in Atlanta for over 80 years,” but we just love the cozy bakery with it’s subtle French charm. The food is nothing out of the ordinary, just a really good version of what you wanted (sometimes the best option). And it’s like a dream to watch them decorate the cakes through the widow. Someone needs to tell the Food Network about what these people can do. Amazing!
So, the point is, Henri’s is great. Even if you already know about it. It still hits the spot (kind of like their chocolate chip cookies).
WARNING: Spin class stream of conciousness at play
Our spin instructor gave to we… “permission to eat anything we want between December 22nd and January 3rd.” Yesterday, as our instructor, wearing an orange cycling outfit with a baseball hat turned backwards, was demanding that we all sing outloud to “Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn,” we were thinking about this “license to eat.” And we were thinking about 1) how different men and women are and then 2) all the delicious holiday food out there! Smoked salmon and capers on Christmas Eve…coffee cakes, sausage balls on Christmas morning!! Then honey ham…the list goes on (must spin harder…). And then we thought about the one classic Christmas food we’ve never had. Fruitcake. So here’s a question. Has anyone ever actually had fruit cake? And since no one has…maybe it would be fun to give Neiman Marcus style! Look at these cute little cakes all packaged up. Only $30!
Merry Bon Appetit!
Even if you are still sporting hippie long hair, there comes a time in every young woman’s life when you have to bring a little more to the table at Thanksgiving by bringing a little more to the table. A few years ago – we were given our Roberts woman lifetime assignment. And…it’s pretty easy. And will impress even the most discerning of Southern eGrandmums.

This morning, after running with Reader Grace, we found ourselves strolling through the aisles of Publix during the 7:00 hour. Maybe it’s because this takes us back to the days of running in the store before high school to get supplies and food for SGA meetings and the like, but we’ve always loved Publix during the 7:00 am hour. People are in workout clothes; people are dressed for work. Everyone is just getting ready to face the day.
So, with the aforementioned pensive mood, it was in the cereal aisle, as we reached for the 1,000th box of Strawberry Fields by Kashi of 2009, we realized…there has to be something more. We cannot eat one more bite of Strawberry Fields with frozen blueberries. We just can’t. As good as Strawberry Fields and the Streamline in ‘09 has been (and we’d recommend it to anyone else), we’re ready for something new. So fair readers, two part question today…what new, healthy cereals do you recommend (and we have to have a fruit pairing. So do include). And what do you propose for the 2010 slogan (something with a little edge, please)??
There’s a little place in South Georgia where the sun shines a little brighter and the cheeks are made a little rosier. It’s called Columbus, Georgia. And it’s perfect. If you’ve also noticed that cheeks are a little rounder, it may be because of favorite local treat, Buford’s Brownies. Buford’s Brownies come packaged for gift giving and melt in your mouth.
