First snow in Crozet.

Little snip it from Crozet today.

The Spot & Vu Noodles (in Charlottesville)

Ok, here is the story.  Julie somehow became my friend on FB and offered me a free dish.  You see, my wife passed away six months ago and I still talk about her quite a bit on Facebook.  Julie said, PLEASE come down (from Crozet) and pick something out!  Today I had the chance to take her up on her offer and wow...I mean WOW!  Very fresh and delicious, plus...look at that smile!  I love when people love what they do.  I also love great food and a good deed, thanks Julie!  I hope you and Kathy crush it in C'ville!  The Spot & Vu Noodles - 110 2nd St. NW, Charlottesville, (434) 996-1869

View from the Crozet Library.

What a lovely town!  This is the view from the Crozet Library, downtown Crozet.

The Local Fog.

We certainly get some beautiful sights here in the Valley.

Wait...Charlottesville has a speakeasy!?!

That's right you read correctly, well sort of.  Actually I really don't know, I mean it's underground, hidden and is a secret of sorts.  I may be putting my life in danger just talking about it!  Good luck finding it and if you do, stay safe and enjoy!  

Sometimes you bump into a nice person!

I just about bumped into Kathy Zentgraf of Greenies (and The Spot) at The Spot the other day.  I knew about the great root vegetable pitas from Greenies at the Charlottesville Farmers Market, but I wasn't familiar with The Spot.  Kathy talked to me about it, showed me the kitchen, even gave me a big bag of collard greens to go, on the house!  This spontaneous generosity has made me happy to give a shout out on my blog!  All the best Kathy!  Oh - I forgot to mention Kathy and her husband will be offer a cooking class soon!  I'm sure it will be awesome!  May 12th/Camp Holiday Trails/6:30 - 9:00.  To inquire call 434-996-1869, or email Kathy at greenies.markets@gmail.com.

C'ville promotes Bernie!

Hundreds gathered on the Downtown Mall Saturday, January 30 to feel the Bern! The rally, a collaboration between Charlottesville, Central Virginia and UVA for Bernie Sanders, was held to promote Bernie in VA, leading up to Virginia’s March 1 primary.
