The New-And-Improved Liz’s Favorite Summer Libation Contest
I have learned a thing or two about summer libations. The first thing I learned is that every time I post a photo or recipe of a refreshing beverage on various social media platforms, it gets lots of social media love. Y'all are excited about summer libations, is what I'm saying. Which is what gave … [Read more...]
Liz’s Favorite Summer Libation Contest
Y’all know how when you go into a restaurant you get a cocktail menu with all manner of libations—many with pictures of pretty drinks?

Y’all Won’t Believe This, Either…
I’ve been completely absent from social media for the last week or so because we’ve been in the middle of moving.

This is my Thanksgiving story. I originally posted it in 2011, but I can't top it, so I'll repost. We have a lot to be thankful for, and Thanksgiving gets thoroughly celebrated in our family. Odds are I'll have new material after the holiday. But for now, maybe this will give you a chuckle: Trot Out … [Read more...]
Of Chocolate & Peanut Butter
From somewhere way back in one of the cobwebbed corners of my memory, I recall a TV commercial for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Someone had a chocolate bar that accidentally landed in someone else's peanut butter. An argument ensued along the lines of "You got peanut butter on my chocolate." "You got … [Read more...]
A Marilyn Moment in the Gynecologist’s Office
I've been fascinated since I was a child by Marilyn Monroe. Apparently, I'm not alone. The Marilyn Monroe estate is on Pinterest. She has a Facebook page and a Twitter account. NBC's SMASH likely owed some of its devoted fan base to the lingering fascination with the blonde bombshell. I've … [Read more...]
Fabulous Weekend at SC Book Festival!
I'm just back from the annual SC Book Festival. Wow, what a ride! Friday, friend and fellow author, Kim Boykin, and I set up our booth. We couldn't have asked for a better spot. We were right next to Barnes and Noble, and across from where the book signings were held after panels. Five different … [Read more...]
