It’s been a nonstop food fest these past few days. I don’t know if it’s sheer resistance to grocery shopping, but I’ve been tearing up some of my favorite eateries as a little treat to myself. Good food isn’t the exception in New Orleans, it’s the norm.

I’ve been ridiculously busy lately between launching Propaganda New Orleans, working a full time job and picking up freelance writing gigs. I’m not complaining, but free time is pretty much non existent at this point. I never knew working 80 hours a week was physically possible, so I’m very much looking forward to a week’s vacation to ring in 2013.

There’s been some changes here at Slow Southern Style headquarters. Fear not, this blog isn’t going away, but I have so many exciting projects going on that I can’t spread myself too thin. To reflect all of my projects, I’ve changed my Twitter and Instagram handles to @ChristyLorio. Super creative, right?
Here are a few links things I’ve been working on that y’all might be interested in.
