Meet Seeds Coffee Co.
May 3, 2012 – 3:55 pm
Before I found a place to live in Birmingham, I reached out to a local coffee roaster to feel out the coffee scene. He assured me it was growing, which sounded optimistic but didn’t give me much confidence. After Wednesday morning, I’m officially convinced. Three words: Underground coffee roasting. Meet Seeds Coffee Company and the read more
CREATIVITY IN ANY FORM IS NO WASTE
April 26, 2012 – 8:38 am
“Man was created that he might create. It is not a waste of man’s time to be creative. It is not a waste to pursue artistic or scientific pursuits in creativity, because this is what man was made to be able to do… The fact that you are a Christian should show in some practical read more
SERBC Coverage in BARISTA Magazine
April 3, 2012 – 10:30 pm

That Something in Particular
March 26, 2012 – 9:58 pm
It scares me that the South might be winning me over. It was only fitting that this dawned on me as I sat on the second-story porch of a bookstore in Oxford, Mississippi with a hellfire-and-brimstone preacher screaming in the background from the courthouse steps and Greek college students milling around in jorts, pigtails, and read more
In My Kitchen: Nigel Slater’s Tender
March 13, 2012 – 12:13 pm
It was the kind of night I shouldn’t have taken time to cook. It was getting late, and I was past hungry. But I wanted vegetables—roots and greens—and that means patience. I also wanted my plate to be beautiful. I’ll blame it on working at a magazine, but most of all, I blame it on read more

On Alone Time, Kinfolk and Audrey
February 18, 2012 – 11:03 am
Kinfolk magazine celebrates small gatherings and communion. I was inspired to start Full Circle & Co. because of an essence captured in this quarterly salute. But Kinfolk doesn’t ignore the fact that being together requires time alone. Dappled with words from Thoreau and pictures of aprons, trees, and coffee, the book starts with a section read more
