Food Memories of Atlanta: Anis Cafe & Bistro

Anis Cafe & Bistro in Atlanta, GA
If you're a regular reader of Taste As You Go (and I hope you are!), then you've probably noticed that things have been relatively quiet on the blog lately. Truth be told, it's been almost two weeks since I've posted anything. I've been enjoying an extended period of time away from work (let's hear it for stockpiling PTO days!), theoretically leaving me with plenty of time to write; however, I went in the opposite direction.

It's been three years since my Barbecue Chicken Pizza first appeared on Taste As You Go. That was back when I was still establishing myself as a food blogger. Back when I was taking digital photographs with a camera that required four AA batteries.

George Wyle was right when he wrote "It's the most wonderful time of the year." A time devoted to family and to friends. A time to reflect on the past while simultaneously looking ahead to the future. Now that I've moved back to the Christmas City, I've gained a more substantial appreciation for the holidays. Admiring the beauty of the historic buildings in downtown Bethlehem, trimmed with the traditional holiday decorations, while listening to the sound of Christmas carols playing lights me up inside.

I absolutely love the holidays.

Ever since I moved from New York to Pennsylvania and began enduring my epic daily commute through three states, people have been inquiring after my mental well-being. Once I've convinced them that I haven't sustained a major blow to the head, they want to know how I manage to have time to "do everything".

The truth is... I don't.
