Men who Cook
Ray Yarbrough will tell you he's not a fine-dining kind of guy. That may be because of a boyhood spent helping his mother and grandmother prepare food he defined as "country cooking." That led to a daily ritual as a youngster of frying mushrooms in his mom's Fry Daddy – "The first real thing I started cooking by myself" – to being the guy who cooked for his roommates in college. Today, his cooking lab is at home. "My mom is artistic. My dad is a draftsman. I can't draw worth a flip, but when I'm cooking and putting ingredients together, I guess that's my artistic side," he said. "If you follow a recipe, that's one thing. It's more ‘what if I do this or do that?'"read more >>
Classy Cocktails
"Drink to me:" Pablo Picasso's last words. It's that time of year when parties are the order of the evening. We find ourselves among friends sharing warm holiday feelings. Of course, if you want to add that holiday warmth, a cocktail might be in order. But wouldn't it be nice to go beyond the same old, same old and serve something that would make your guests sit up and say, "Wow, what is this?" We're here to help. read more >>
Your Yard: What You Eat?
Ever had the urge to eat your yard? Don't laugh. There's growing local interest in growing edible landscapes. So says Lindsey Mann, who founded Sustenance Design in Atlanta five years ago as the city's first landscape design company focused on edible landscapes. "Whenever I give presentations to groups, I give them two statistics. The first is that 50 percent of all residential water use goes to lawns, and the second is that to produce one food calorie in our current industrial food system requires 17 energy calories in the production and transportation of that calorie." The trend is growing, and it's come to Macon.read more >>

Tattoos & Shih-Tzus
Meticulous, detail-oriented perfectionishts who insist on the "scissor finish," Showtime Pet Grooming's owners and staff take pride in their award-winning work at this north Macon pet salon. But they also represent a different breed of canine aesthetician. They wear leather and ride motorcycles to work, and with their long ponytails, mellow porch-swing manners and Middle Georgia drawls, these alpha-dog groomers might have stepped off the cover of an Allman Brothers album. Where tattoos meet Shih-Tzus, Showtime is perhaps the South's only biker-operated beauty parlor for dogs and academy for aspiring pet groomers.read more >>
Made in Macon: Manly Candles
It seems silly at first. Hardly the sort of thing to get excited about. Candles for men. But the more you think about it – especially teh more guys think about it – the more sense it makes. Ever gone looking for something to liven up the smell at home and had to settle for something like Blueberry Cinnamon Appletini? Yea, not so cool. But "Humidor?" That's more like it. "Our fragrances are designed to connect with places or events that are typically considered to be manly," says Maconite and creator of Valor Candles For Men. Valor's scents "celebrate manliness" as can be seen on their Web site, which is much more than just a place to buy candles.read more >>
