neat pieces carlton, GA
I love to go to this junk store in Carlton, GA. It is housed in an old downtown strip and is layered with treasures. Building after building I love to meander through and see what I can find. It is always worth the trip!

divinity
One of my good friends was telling me about her love for divinity, a Southern Candy. Most Southerners seem to have fond memories of this sweet and decadent treat. The other day my daughter and I made a batch to try it out. I sprinkled with a little fleur de sel just to give this a little sweet and saltiness. I am hooked.

Little Arabia Mountain
in The Country
Over the holidays, my friend and I decided to check out some other "Stone Mountains" near the big, famous Stone mountain southeast of Atlanta. There are two smaller granite domes nearby that you can also visit. First, we went to the next biggest dome, at Panola State Park. There's lots of little trails there where you can observe the granite outcroppings and the plant life that survives there. Isay survives because during hot summer droughts these plants and lichens are baked for days on end, but when the rains come, the natural depressions in the rock spring to life, each pool it's own mini ecosystem. You can't hike to the top of panel mountain yet ( a trail is promised ),but you can see it.
We then went to the smallest dome, Little Arabia Mountain, also a state park, and were pleased to find we could climb up it. We found our way by stone cairns set every so often. the puddles reflected the blue sky. The wind was gentle and the rocks were warm. A great place to go.

cooking on the coals
This holiday, my nephew, Clay introduced me to a great new cookbook, 'seven fires'. It's all about cooking everything on the fire. I'm a big fire nut. Anything woodfired gets me excited, so I was eager to watch as he placed 4 kobucha squash in the coals. We covered them up and let them cook about an hour. It smelled like roasted pumpkin. After cooking, Clay cut them in half and mixed in some red wine vinegar sauce, arugula, and goat cheese. Yummy!

camelias
in The Country
Camellias are as southern as fried chicken and pecan pie. They used to be a lot more popular than they are now. They are slow growing and take years to get to this glorious stage; a big, thick, tall shrub,full of blooms. This one is at least 40 years old. Worth the wait.
