What a Bargain!

It's not in Richmond, and it ain't haute cuisine, but it was delicious and cheap! I was lucky enough to attend the practice rounds at the Masters in Augusta, Georgia last Monday - Wednesday. This was by far the most beautiful and best executed sporting or any other event I have ever attended. The flowers were amazing, azaleas in the peak of bloom, and the fairways were more pristine than any green I've ever duffed a ball onto. The best part, however, were the $1.50 pimiento cheese sandwiches and $2.00 beers! Lunch was a fat sandwich, chips, moonpie, and 2 beers for $7.50! Augusta was a fantastic town with great food, sincere people, and beautiful scenery. I can't recommend it enough.

The Weekly Bacon

Since I am the only one posting - and probably reading - this blog, I will write about whatever I damn well please. And that is BACON. Today's is a bacon-infused bourbon and maple syrup cocktail. I've gotten to the point that I don't like much in my bourbon besides some ice, but there's always room for bacon.

Carena's part 2

John and I checked it out on Friday, and thought it was very ... meh. Not bad / not great, strange atmosphere, excellent service (including a free sample of the oxtail when we asked about it) (think greasy pot roast). Anyway, glad to have gone, but doubt we'll go back - we have too much Richmond yet to eat!
