Last night we went to Awesome Street for a party. I was a little nervous since I didn’t know anyone, but that dissipated when we arrived and saw a couple of backdoor smokers, wearing white fuzzy bunny ears.
“If I’d known,” Stick said. “I could have worn my Hugh Hefner smoking jacket,”
Although Stick and I found [...]
“Look, Stick, I got spam in Chinese! It says: I…. good…. mine…. you… not or no… please… compare or comparison… net… not have… you… Um, that’s all I can read.”
“You clearly need to learn the Chinese for ‘Nigerian royalty’ and ‘bank transfer’”
I have a couple articles up on the new TechCoquette, including this one on What his Twitter Timeline is Telling You:
Want a peek into your new boyfriend’s mind? Just browse his Twitter timeline!
A guy’s Twitter stream gives you clues about his hobbies, how he relates to his friends, and what wanders across his mind when [...]
Oliver Twist
8111-137 Creedmoor Rd
Raleigh, NC 27613
Last week was Triangle Restaurant Week, when an assortment of local restaurants run a special set menu. We were meeting up with Lynn and some of her friends.
I ended up narrowing our dining choices to between Oliver Twist and Red Room, but the humor value of a restaurant naming itself [...]
Chatham Hill Winery
3800 Gateway Centre Blvd. Suite 310,
Cary/Morrisville, NC 27560
We went on a really interesting winery tour taught by the owner and winemaker, Marek Wojciechowski, a biochemist who took up winemaking as a retirement project. Yes, taught by is the right phrasing, he gave a really interesting lecture on the history of local wine, beginning [...]
“Hey, Stick, do you know what the day after tomorrow is?!?”
“The day after Ea—The day Cadbury eggs go on sale.”
“Oh. Guess you already knew then.”
“Meg, we’ve been dating for five years.”

It’s been years since I ruined dinner badly enough to scrap it and order take out. Look, I’m not saying I’ve never had trouble boiling water, and there was that time in college when I set off Eric’s smoke detector, but my cooking mistakes are usually minor, food that’s a touch overdone or needs a [...]
Unaabi Grill

914 Kildaire Farm Rd.
Cary, NC 27511
We were intrigued by the new restaurant Unaabi Grill, but honestly, we were not impressed with the outside. Unaabi Grill is in a converted Pizza Hut, and from the street, it looks it. But Unaabi Grill turned out to be like many of the hidden gems we found in [...]
I was making cranberry relish yesterday when Stick came into the kitchen and looked hungrily at the jars I was filling.
“You can eat the one on the left, ’cause I screwed up the seal.” I told him, hoping to deter him from sticking a spoon in the boiling cranberry-orange goo.
“Great,” he said. “You make jam [...]
“Hey Stick, the psych student from the electric shock test called. He says they won’t be able to use any of your survey because it fell too far outside the normal parameters. You were way too positive about our relationship, it’s unrealistic, it seems like you’re lying.”
“Really? Oh, that’s too bad. I hope it doesn’t [...]
