Back in NY, questioning my decision to come back. Came back with a bad cold and preparing for a blizzard the likes of which apparently we have not seen since 1970! I am praying its not as bad as what many are predicting (12-18″ for our area, we are due to get the brunt of it). We are barely shoveling out of the last snow (there’s plenty on the ground) and its at the ugly stage, black and dirty. In NYC I have no idea what they will do with all that snow as so much is there to begin with, with few places to put it.<\/p>\n

Nothing we can do but wait it out, so channeling spring vibes in the meantime and here we go with my post this Sunday-<\/p>\n

1 PALMETTO BLUFF <\/strong>Wish I could click my heels and be back there right now, the weather was delightful. Always nice to share a few Palmetto Bluff highlights, when I say its my happy place I mean it. I always say its like going to your own little private spa. This trip,\u00a0 I did almost nothing and that was the best part! SO relaxing. A place I can stay indoors for days and not feeling like I am missing out on a single thing. Sometimes, we do more, if we are seeing friends or someone is visiting of course but if there’s one place to totally unplug, this is it for me.<\/p>\n

We stayed a few days then went to visit friends in Florida for a few days then came back to PB for a few more days before returning home-<\/p>\n

3 MAKING CHEESE PLATTERS <\/strong>I get a lot of people asking how to make cheese platters lordy knows I have made many in my day. Below are some of what I have made. Bottom line is there is no formula, but I do like to have at least 2-3 variety of crackers and\/or bread sticks, at least 3 cheeses.<\/p>\n

I like to offer some nuts and some kind of fruit (normally berries), also dried fruit if I have it on hand and I think a sprinkle of microgreens can elevate the look. When I have things like salami or soppressata that is a great addition as well. I love making them because it feels like a social experiment every time!<\/p>\n

6 EVER WONDERED HOW PORCELAINS ARE MADE?\u00a0 <\/strong>This video is fascinating, a little grainy but one of the best showing the process from the vert stary. Certainly gives you a new perspective and newfound appreciation for how much goes into making a single piece of porcelain. A fascinating art!<\/p>\n
