Eat, drink, and be merry!

Some friends and I are tossing around the idea of going down for the Natchez Food and Wine Festival August 4-5. It looks like so much fun! While some of the more attractive events (like Great Chefs in Great Houses) are already sold out, there appear to be tickets available for the majority of the other events.

Where to stay? I'm checking out the Natchez Convention and Visitors Bureau web site for ideas! I'll let you know how it works out!

Also planning on swinging by Elixir, a hip little bar and restaurant in Jackson, for drinks and dinner tonight. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend the Ice Pick and/or the Mississippi Martini. Basically sweet tea with lemon and mint, spiked with vodka. YUM. Their appetizers are divine (great cheese plate, great tapas selection, great chocolate/strawberry/pound cake fondue, etc.), and, while spendy, dinner entrees are delicious.
