Those of you who know me would probably not classify me as a biker chick – though the outfits do have a certain bad-girl appeal to them, I’m not so much a wind-in-my-hair, take-my-life-into-my-hands daredevil.

According to the website, “Odysséo is a journey into the imagination, a voyage through space and time, and an exploration of nature’s greatest wonders – deserts, waterfalls, canyons, glaciers and [...]
Last year, I met someone who I can confidently say is one of my favorite people in Atlanta, Adisa Nickerson; he introduced me to one of our city’s most incredible organizations, the Georgia Boy Choir, for which he serves as Executive Director.

Thursday night means Grilled Cheese Night at Souper Jenny…and tonight – Thursday, October 27, 2011 – it also means 1/2 price s’mores, if you bring a donation for Trick or Treat for the Troops! Grilled Cheese Night is one of my favorite times at Souper Jenny – two melty, ooey-gooey grilled cheese choices, as well [...]
