It's hard to believe that Christmas is less than four weeks away. So many parties, so little time! When I was at Michael's Salon on Wednesday, I was trying to decide on a topic for this Holiday Gift Guide column. When in doubt, ask your hairdresser. “Michael, should I write about hostess gifts or Christmas appetizers?” “Appetizers!” he said almost immediately.
Fortunately for a lazy gardener like me – I’m a reluctant shopper, to boot – there’s still a little time left in this holiday gift-giving season to find the right gift for those difficult gardeners on your list. There’s time . . . but I always seem to be challenged with the inspiration part. I really don’t want to give the usual or expected; I want to come up with something meaningful and special, something unique, something the recipient will value.
Atelier is a working collective art studio, located in the historic Lipsitz building in the heart of downtown Beaufort, South Carolina. Built in 1883, this gorgeous building, with the original hardwood floors and high ceilings, houses 14 individual art studios of local Lowcountry artists. On any given day, you can climb the original staircase to Atelier and witness any number of the artists at work. With the historic charm, slightly slanted floors, natural light and gorgeous artwork covering the walls, Atelier is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

It's the most wonderful time of the year and everyone is throwing a holiday party, including you. Aren't you tired of serving (and being served) sliced ham and turkey with cocktail rolls? A bowl of shrimp with cocktail sauce has been done to death. Cheese and vegetable platters are totally boring fare. Even traditional crab dip is getting old. You're in luck! Your guests are sure to love these three delectable cocktail party recipes. Best of all, they're all simple to prepare and can be made in advance. Happy Holidays!
I had been reading Pat Conroy's cookbook, The Pat Conroy Cookbook: Recipes and Stories of My Life, when our telephone rang. Pat's sister-in-law, Terrye, was on the line with a request (actually, bestowing an honor) from the Conroy family for me to cater Pat's funeral reception. That happened back in March of 2016. It seemed like fate or even serendipity, that I had Pat's cookbook on my desk with a folded down corner marking Chapter 15, “Why Dying Down South Is More Fun.”Site Designed and Maintained by Vision Technology Management
