loquat jam04/25/13

Spring means loquat season in Charleston, and loquat season in Charleston means engaging in tree-climbing and minor trespassing to yield a very-much-worth-it loquat jam.

It’s simple — peel the loquats, remove the seeds, and cook over medium heat with the juice of one lemon and a half cup of sugar (most recipes call for three or four cups, but a half cup was plenty). Bring to a boil for a few minutes, and then let simmer over low to medium heat for an hour. Fill your jars and consume! I love it with yogurt and oatmeal, on toast, or by the spoonful.

danielle and carl get married04/15/13

A gorgeous day at the Legare Wedding House — filled with so many happy tears, a hilarious bride and groom, constant dancing, group hugs, and the sweetest ceremony officiated by the bride’s sister (who was so touched by the vows that she could not get through the sentence, “I now pronounce you husband and wife” without breaking into simultaneous crying and giggling).

window boxes for charleston magazine04/08/13

I shot a feature for April’s Charleston Magazine on window boxes — one of Charleston’s sweetest charms. Each window box in the story served its own unique purpose — one tropical, one edible, one that could provide a home for birds, bees and butterflies. These master gardeners and horticulturists absolutely amazed me.

When I found out I had the cover I was in a small cafe with Tara, who proceeded to scream and tell every individual in the place about my good news. It felt like a real milestone — and that memory will stick with me for a long time.
