What would you cook if you were given Goo Goo Clusters, Jack Daniel's honey and Benton's Bacon? This Sunday May 20th, you'll find out what some of our local, Nashville chefs come up with at the 2012 Savor Nashville Challenge to the Chefs at Union Station Hotel, a cook-off challenge in which these chefs will use their choice of one of those three ingredients.

The problem with me (or at least the one we will be discussing today) is that when I stink at something, I want to know why.

It's important to me to understand.

Why do I stink at this thing? 

WHY?!! 

@#$!!

I demand a diagnosis.

In an effort to assist students study for the notoriously difficult National College Entrance Examination, the Xiaogan No.1 High School in central China's Hubei province provides intravenous drips of amino acids to those who request them.

Get your ticket buying, mouse-clicking fingers ready ladies because it's time once again for the Purity Miss Martha's Ice Cream Crankin and Summer Social! I missed this last year but my friends who attended said it was just a great time for adults and children alike.

Another guilt-breeding study for moms.

I have to admit, I don't really understand the engagement portrait. 

I see this all the time now, when I’m running in East Nashville. Gooey-eyed couples canoodling to the click of a camera, wearing outfits they perceive as “fashion-y”, on a background they perceive as “artistic” (bricks, weeds, wildflowers).

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Far too often I hear people say “it’s too expensive to buy local/organic food.” I agree, it’s definitely not cheap and it's not a feasible option for everybody. But, what if I told you there's a way to shop for local, organic and seasonal ingredients to prepare five healthy meals for just $35 a person?

To the Woman With the Furry, Furry Mustache:

If you can not wax-

Or pluck-

Or otherwise depilate-

You must shave that facial beast.

For the good of eyeballs everywhere, you must. 

Stop.

I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking about what your mother said.

Trust me, you do not want to miss In Her Shoes, a fabulous night of shoes, women, and wine. You better hurry though! There are only a few more days left to buy tickets to In Her Shoes at the lower rate of $35.

Gag me with redundancy because the “Manual Snot Sucker” by Freidababy really sucks! (As in, snot ever going to be a baby registry staple.)
