TRY THIS: An informal afternoon tea party

We decided to have a small tea party at the house one Sunday.  If I told you it was planned mainly to dress up, what would you think of that?  It was also to enjoy fun finger foods with our hot tea while engaging in stimulating conversations about hot topics, but the food and playing dress up was the main event.

Spring Hibernation: Where has Ever So Sweet been?

My few followers, be patient with me.  I’m embarrassed to have to apologize again for having neglected my supposed to be fun food blog.  I think the past couple of months had me looking at my drafts folder of the blog like it was a task as opposed to the fun hobby I started it out to be.  This is the chronicles of my baking adventures, right?  Well I had a lot of them over the past month, it almost feels like I had something going on every weekend, which always turns out to be more than just the actual event….there’s the planning, the prepping and the baking beforehand.  Everything has got to be a big ordeal with me, right?  It’s just the way I operate.  And I kind of like it like that.  The planning, not the neglecting, of course.

Last week, I was able to attend a Street Food Summit, put together by the Atlanta Street Food Coalition, in a way to bring the people who regulate and enforce the street food community to the people who are already involved or who would like to see the street food vendors flourish in this city.

The panel consisted of: Atlanta City Council member Kwanza Hall, Fulton County Commissioner Joan Garner, Deputy Director Fulton County Health Services Kevin Jones, Major Christopher Leighty and Sargeant Edward Davis, both from the Atlanta Police Department.
