Former Connect Savannah columnist, Jessica Leigh Lebos, has published a book of her essays, and it is Savannah Sideways. Last night there was a book party at the tiny yet legendary Book Lady Bookstore. It was standing room only as Jessica read three of her essays from her collection. Jessica has an authentic voice that is funny, thoughtful and focused. Get a copy at your local bookstore; and review it on Goodreads.
My dad says, “You learn something new every day”; I learned about the delicious tequila-based cocktail, Paloma. A Paloma is a Mexican cocktail that is three parts grapefruit soda, one part tequila. What’s better a than a Paloma? A frozen slushie Paloma. At Pinkie Master’s they have Paloma slushie. For a festive drink to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but I suggest having a Paloma slushie while supplies last.
Thumbs down to the crab cake appetizer at Sorry Charlies at Ellis Square. In the South, portion sizes tend to be bigger, so I when I ordered the crab cakes, I assumed it would be smaller than an entree but bigger than h’orderves. When my plate arrived, I got three tiny crab cake puffs that were probably the same size as the hush puppies. They were tasty but tiny. Sorry, Charlie but the crab cake appetizer is too small.
