Tonight for dinner we brought in some Thai food. Sam ate it with gusto; he hogged all the baby corn and a fair share of the rice. However, the zucchini really touched his funny bone. Everytime Mom would say the word, he would burst out laughing. Not just a giggle, but a belly laugh so long and so loud, it cracked us up. This comedy routine went on for the remainder of dinner and into bath time. By the end of his bath, Sam was saying “zucchini” himself (well, pretty close). Who knew that vegetables could be so entertaining.

Shofar Sam
Amy brought out her shofar this afternoon to remember to bring it to tonight’s services closing out this year’s Yom Kippur. Sam won’t make it through the service and the subsequent break-fast party, so he’ll be home with a sitter tonight when the horn is blown in synagogue. Next year, perhaps! Amy demoed the ram’s horn, and Sam had to give it a try as well. Results pictured above!
Seeger’s Soldiers On…
Guenter Seeger began his career in Atlanta in 1985 at the Dining Room at the Ritz Carlton Buckhead. Since then, Atlanta has had an apparent love-hate relationship with this uber-Chef. Noted as much for the food as for the awkward service at his eponymous restaurant he opened in Buckhead in 1997, it was widely reported that he was going to shut his 5-star Mobil-rated restaurant down in late August due to $265,000 in back taxes and the pursuit of ‘other interests’. Well, investors apparently swooped in at the last moment to keep the illustrious restaurant running. So fellow foodie and friend Joel and I decided to go before Seeger ‘closed’ again. Our wives had their own date down the road at Nava – they were not so keen on the high-falutin food nor ‘tude for which Seeger’s is so well known. Well, they missed out – big time. Read on for more about the menu and the experience – including Joel and my ‘anniversary’ desert! Continue reading Seeger’s Soldiers On…
Happy Birthday to GPCP
We marked the birth of the new Cabbagetown campus as well as the 7th birthday of the Grant Park lcoation with the annual Grant Park Cooperative Preschool Birthday Party this Saturday. The party was held this year at the Cabbagetown campus playground where the C-town kids have spent the last couple of days getting to know their new home away from home. There was a wonderful Nigerian drummer ‘Bisi’ who entranced all the kids, collage-making, lots of FOOD, and good company. Click here to see a collection of photos from the event.
