This weekend I am visiting my sister in Richmond, VA. Luckily for me, there is a wide variety of food options in any style of dining you could possibly want. My sister lives right around the corner from Dot’s Back Inn. It was featured on Guy Fieri’s Triple D. It is a neighborhood hot spot with a lot of charm.

I got the roasted red pepper pesto salmon for $12.95. It was amazing and cooked to perfection. The collards are a southern specialty that I thoroughly enjoyed as well.

The Elvis pie was actually featured on Triple D. Do NOT come here without ordering it. A layer of cheesecake and peanut butter separated by bananas in an Oreo cookie crust is a temptation no one can resist. I cannot wait to go back again just for the pie!!

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

No need to say too much.  This picture says it all.  The Vampire Diaries is the show that I am looking forward to the most this season.  I’m sure I can say the same for our friend, Karla, and my co-worker, Lindsay.  Be there on Thurday at 8 on the CW.

A Ghoulish Garnish

Today, I finally got the chance to decorate the house for Halloween.  It was time to put away the beach decor and begin the pumpkin primping.  I have a collection of decorations that have been passed down to me and those that I have bought myself.  The eclectic mix makes for a good start.  Over the years, I intend to add a decoration or two more to trim the house.  My favorite decorations so far are the ceramic witch and haunted house that light up.  They were made by my mom when she was younger at a ceramic studio.  They are irreplaceable and it is something that is a timeless piece that I will be able to pass down to my children.  I also like the Bethlehem lighting pieces from QVC.  The wreath and the garland are from this company and they are not only beautiful on their own but when they are lit at night it provides a great ambience for any occasion.  Happy October everyone!
