I truly don't miss Atlanta like I used to. I love Nashville, and it's home.
There are things about Atlanta that I do miss. I've posted about it before - I'd say decent Chinese food is at the top of the list. I've learned to make do, and to eat up in Atlanta when given a chance.
The other two have both been top of mind recently.
I could use a good bagel. My father, sadly, turned me into a bagel snob at a young age. I'll eat jalapeno cheddar, and asiago peppercorn, but what I want, what I really want is rye. Rye with olive cream cheese.
I can't seem to get a decent version of that here. I may need to revisit Star Bagel...
The other thing I miss is Crate & Barrel. Like most women my age, when it came time to register for my wedding, I had to so some thinking - we had guests coming in from a lot of different places, and we didn't want to be greedy. So, Bed Bath and Beyond was a no-brainer. Macy's for flatware, knives and a few other little necessities, and of course...Crate and Barrel.
We registered for an everyday china called Maison. It looks like this:
And yes, it's just plain, boring white - but it's awesome and I love it. And, I got Matt to agree on it, because given a choice my taste is more:
And Matt's is more:
So I think you can see, we did a good job compromising.
For the record - I inherited my Paternal Grandmother's Fine China - it looks like this:
So, anyway, the nice thing about Maison is that it's cheap. And that's good - because we can break some dinnerware.
Tuesday, I ordered some new salad plates. Matt and I prefer to eat off of them because of that trick where it seems like you're getting more food than you are.
And we were down to four.
I ordered six more and guess what?
They're heeeeeeeeeeeere!
If only Bagelicious were that easily available. I'd be set.
