In a world where there seems to be a lot of craziness, occasionally, Providence wins. Take today, for instance. This morning, while taking our son to day care (via the same route we have been taking for nearly 2 years), we passed the gas station sign we’ve been passing for awhile: “Suck the Shuck Tamales, [...]
Every once in a while, when The Husband and I are feeling nostalgic, we’ll reflect on the cruise we took for our honeymoon. One of the ports of call was Montego Bay, Jamaica. Almost seven years later, we still talk about this roadside shack we stopped at during our shore excursion that sold the best [...]
It’s been awhile since we went to Fusion on Lakeland for a good dose of Thai and Asian-fusion dishes. Nestled a bit back from the main road, behind the Applebee’s in the old Fazoli’s building, this little gem is easy to miss. But – as this visit reminds us – you really, really shouldn’t miss [...]
I have a co-worker, “S,” who is originally from Baroda, Gujarat, India. She moved to the United States five years ago after getting married. I have really enjoyed getting to know S over the last two years. She has taught me a lot about Indian culture, and it has been fun to introduce her to [...]

Hole in the wall restaurants. Most people seem to either love them or hate them. You give my husband some sort of home cooking served with a side of “I’m not so sure that kitchen should’ve passed inspection,” and he’s a happy camper. He’s one of those…
Ever had a spicy brownie? The Baja Brownie at Sombra Mexican Kitchen in Ridgeland is just such, AND it comes with ice cream, so it’s the perfect dish with which to continue our National Ice Cream Month celebration! To the naked eye, the Baja Brownie looks like a regular brownie with a scoop of ice cream…
So the first time I went to Spice Avenue Fine Indian Cuisine in Jackson, I had a great experience. Despite the somewhat intimidating appearance of the outside of the building (they have metal bars on the doors), which sits just off of the I-55 Frontage Road…
