Now, I hear the…… Continue Reading

May book club, cookbook review and the joy of singing our lungs out

Devereaux’s, murderous shoes and marriage.
Well, I finally get to check Devereaux’s off my list. The restaurant is housed in a century-old brick cigar factory just off Main Street. It’s been at the top of Greenville’s culinary food chain for years, but frankly, I love to cook too much and we live too far out to make it to…… Continue Reading
