I love food. I love food a lot. Any chance I get to sample something different or new, I'm on it. That's why any type of food festival is like a perfect storm of opportunity for me. I can go to one location and just walk around and sample a variety of different dishes from different restaurants. I remember this one food festival I went to a few years... [Read more...]
What do you have cooking? If you're shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables, try the Farmers Atlanta Road Market (FARM) in the St. Benedicts church parking lot (intersection of East-West Connector and Atlanta Road ) on Tuesdays from 4:00 p.m. - dusk. They have a great selection of locally grown produce, cheeses, breads and other food items. And when... [Read more...]

If you are a fan of the highly successful Austin Powers series, or the movie Meet the Fockers, then you may like Dinner for Schmucks. They were all directed by the same guy, Jay Roach. Dinner for Schmucks, which opens this weekend nationwide, is a remake of a 1998 French film titled Le Diner de Cons. It's about a young exec who is promised a promotion... [Read more...]

Unless you've just come from living in a cave, you're probably well aware that the 2010 World Cup kicks off (literally) this weekend. And while soccer is still a growing sport in the USA compared to the rest of the planet, it is a HUGE deal that the American team is playing in it. Are you familiar with international soccer? If not, I'll give you a crash... [Read more...]
Looking for a good movie this weekend? I think Splice might be your best bet. It's about two young geneticists who "splice" human DNA with that of various animals to develop a new species. They end up creating a some sort of mutant human who turns out to be more than they bargained for. It opens up this weekend so if you go, you'll be one of the first... [Read more...]
The Cobb County Library system is kicking off their summer reading program with "Make a Splash...Read!" So swing by the Vinings branch (at 4290 Paces Ferry Road) to join up. All you'll need to do is register each child and pick up their folder where they will record each book they read over the summer. Once fall rolls around, they will return their book record...

Any green thumbs out here in Tamarron? Sometimes I wish I was. Gardening is certainly both a science and an art. Some have the knack, some don't...just ask my plastic plant that died on me last year. Although I am thinking about starting one of those hanging tomato plants. Anyone have one? In any case, for those that are interested, on May 15 from 10 a.m.... [Read more...]
Are you a soccer fan? Can you play? People today have so many different activities competing for their attention (including computers, video games, several television channels to name a few). Sometimes this can lead to a lethargic lifestyle. Soccer is a great way to get out and get some excercise. The game is played by millions of people on many continents:... [Read more...]
