This doesn’t really tie into the “Jamey and Claire” theme of this blog so much, but then I realized, of course it does!
My younger brother Ross will be performing during a segment of our wedding, so it makes sense to share with you some of his music. This is his music video he created for the Folgers jingle contest. Music, lyrics and performance are all by him:
I’m very proud. I don’t know of a voting process to help him win, but if there is you can bet I will be sharing it with you!
Jamey is a gadget guy. Always has been, always will be.
Too bad this thing doesn't have a Pandora app.
So it was no surprise two weeks ago when Jamey posed the question, “Should I switch cell phones?” Continue reading
Oftentimes, I find it difficult to round-up a weekend when there’s so much to say of what went down. But this weekend is in need of a recap, since it’s one of those that stands out in a year of already so much excellence.
Friday evening Mom got in, and we hung around the house before making our way over to Husk. Now, my excitement for Husk has been palpable through several posts now. When we arrived at the bar for drinks before dinner, I was positively giddy. There, we found ourselves seated in the rafters of an old but new building – one decorated to tease the eye, transporting the diner to the rusted ambiance of a southern farm.

Since it’s almost Friday and that’s all I can think about at the moment, I thought I would post to get my mind off the fact that my mom will be here tomorrow. Can’t wait for the weekend, yet again!
All this week, Jamey and I have kickstarted our revamped diets with a variety of healthy foods and dinners. (Based on our verbal reports to each other, it sounds like he’s been doing even better than me for lunch options. Everyone give him an internet pat on the back for staying strong!)
Since my mom is coming into town Friday night (Hello, Husk!), I can already predict our weekend will be full of wonderful, rich and local food choices. I hope she has braced herself for a yummy weekend!
In the meantime, here is a picture of our sous vide teryaki pork with a side of sautéed garlic spinach.
A homemade dinner is just as good as any night out.
By the light of candlelight, glasses of wine and my Valentine’s Day roses, it was a lovely dinner to spend mid-week together. These kinds of meals are always my favorite.
Now bring on Friday, my momma and Husk!
