FROM THE DIRECTOR

What’s on your summer bucket list?

Since January, we’d been waiting for summer.

It arrived on Memorial Day weekend. And the rituals, along with a dose of pandemonium, are underway.

The scent of charcoal smoke is on the breeze. Shorts and sandals emerge after a long hibernation at the bottom of closets.

You can hear the voices of children playing outside through the last slivers of daylight.

Lightning bugs punctuate the darkness. Then come the camps. Day camps, sports camps, art camps, Vacation Bible Schools. Maybe a church event, perhaps a Homecoming or Revival. July the Fourth. Ice cream. Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, corn. Cookouts. Pool parties. Beach trips. Braves baseball.

A doldrums of the weeks before school starts again when every mom I know is past the point of losing patience.

And then, after the mad scurry, suddenly – it ends.

Over.

That seems to be the way it goes every summer, especially the older one gets, doesn’t it?

We make a rush of a time meant to be relaxing.

And, trust me, I don’t say this as a cold critic or one who is completely immune.

At the end of summer, I generally find myself bemoaning all the things I wanted to do, but didn’t. With that said, this year, I have written a summer bucket list to make sure I do not find myself in that state of mind again.

CL_Summer2014(8) 8

1.Make homemade ice cream: Growing up, this was a tradition in my family. My parents loved to set our loud rock salt-laden maker on the porch and my grandparents even had a hand-cranked one. My wife and I half-heartedly carried the tradition on for a few years before fizzling out last summer. But this summer I am aiming for not one, but at least two bouts of homemade ice cream.

2. Wade in a stream: My family usually goes to Callaway Gardens at least once a summer and, though I don’t swim, I will dip my feet in Robin Lake. But finding a good stream to wade your feet in is something I miss. I have a couple of fishing spots I’ve discovered here and there, but the key is to find the right amount of depth and current. When you do, there are few things as simply sublime.

3.The non-contact sports: Last year I played horseshoes for the first time at, ironically, an end-of-summer party. I tossed a few games – or is it matches? - and found it to my liking. Why? Well, I don’t really care for croquet or golf. Secondly, you can play horseshoes with a drink in your hand and wear about anything you dadgum want to. (I prefer a Larry Bird T-shirt, seersucker shorts and a straw hat.) I might also give badminton another try. I played it when I was a child with my brother and cousins at my grandparents home and I harbor fond memories of racing back and forth on the thick zoysia grass, trying to hit the shuttlecock while not getting blinded by the sun.

Tennis is in the mix too. As long as it doesn’t bode for broken bones, I am game.

4. Moonlight hike: When I was in my teens and early 20s, I frequently took midnight bike rides. It might sound foolhardy, but if you lived in the right place and knew which vacated roads to ride, it was a rush. I’ve passed the point of nighttime bike rides, but hope to take my son on a moonlight hike. There are few adventures as ethereal to remind one of the greatness of the universe.

5.Fix a fun drink: Folks use summertime as an excuse to make all sorts of interesting drinks. Sun tea, crazy concoctions of Kool Aid, iced tea with a kick, Coke floats and more. I’ve been re-reading “Smokehouse Ham, Spoon Bread, & Scuppernong Wine: The Folklore and Art of Southern Appalachian Cooking” by my friend Joe Dabney and discovered some great old-timey recipes in there.

I think I will pass on the Sumac wine and the Peach Beer, but might give some of the elderberry wines or brandies a shot. (As an aside, if you haven’t read Joe’s masterpiece, I strongly encourage it. It is a prime place to find great recipes and engaging stories.)

So there’s mine. What about you? Have you got a bucket list? If not, I encourage you to make one and if you have any suggestions for me, please drop me a line at mmaguire@cobblifemagazine. com.

Have a great summer.

Best, Mark Wallace Maguire

Food has been on Joan Durbin’s mind for as long as she can remember.

In high school, faced with taking either French or Spanish for a language credit, she opted for French because she thought it would come in handy later for reading menus.

Growing up in a Midwestern family in which garlic, herbs and spices other than salt, pepper and the occasional onion rarely made an appearance in the womenfolk’s cooking, Joan was flabbergasted and delighted to discover a whole spectrum of new flavors once she went away to college. She more than made up for lost time by embracing exotic ingredients and foodstuffs that gave her grandmother and mother the vapors.

In her 20s, Joan adopted the kitchen as her favorite room in the house and spent ensuing decades attempting and often succeeding in creating edible meals. In the early years, she was the only one of her friends who preferred to throw a dinner party than a kegger.

Moving from Ohio to South Florida to metro Atlanta, and traveling up and down the East Coast, Joan has picked up a passing familiarity with a wide variety of cuisines, regional specialties and cooking procedures. She lives quietly in East Cobb with a passel of dogs and cats and one sometimes exasperating but well-meaning man who retired and took up cooking as a hobby.

Stacey L. Evans was born with a fervent curiosity streak, which triggered her interest in journalism and eventually drove her from a small South Georgia town to the ‘big city’ of Atlanta. With a journalism degree in tow, she jetted off for an escapade in London—which she believes gives her the right to use words such as ‘bloody,’ and ‘knackered’ with authority—and then wandered around the retail and restaurant world until finding a home at “Neighbor Newspapers” and “Cobb Life.” Now she spends her days writing, designing, brainstorming and assisting with photo shoots. She also serves as editor of Cobb Life’s “Brides” edition. An avid nature lover, she spends countless hours trekking or cycling through the wilderness, stretching out on river rocks to read, marveling at whatever creature crosses her path, contemplating the clouds and staring up at the stars.

Michael A. Venezia is the Corporate Director of Education for United Distributors Inc. He is also Adjunct Professor of Hospitality Administration at Georgia State University. He lives in East Cobb with his wife Patti, who recently retired as an ESL teacher at Wheeler High School. His hobbies include collecting wine corks which currently number more than 5,000, and traveling to food and wine destinations in search of those “gastronomic marriages made in heaven.“

The executive women included Cassandra Buckalew, of Historic Marietta Trolley Co.; Cassy Ferrell, of Vinings Bank; Kim Gresh, of S.A. White Oil Company; Tricia Pridemore, Angela Shipp, of Cobb EMC; and April Wright, of 524 Creative.

Arriving under a rain deluge, the travelers toured the Capitol and sat in on a session in the House of Representatives chambers. Later, they attended an event supporting Pridemore at the Capitol Hill Club, where Speaker of the House John Boehner just happened to be visiting. Hosts of the reception for Pridemore included Reps. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers (R-Wash.), Diane Black (R-Tenn.), Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), Renee Elmers (R-N.C.) and Martha Roby (R-Ala.).

The group also joined more than 1,500 people, mostly women, from across the world in the Washington Hilton hotel ballroom for the First Lady’s Luncheon, a bi-partisan event organized annually by the Congressional Club.

Guests included members and spouses of the executive cabinet, members of the Supreme Court and their spouses, and spouses of members and former members of Congress. In her keynote address, First Lady Michelle Obama spoke about the importance of education and investing in youth and their future. Electric violinist and local Atlantan Ken Ford entertained with a lively performance, which included an arrangement of “Georgia” — drawing cheers from the Cobb County group upon the first note.

CELEBRATIONS More than 150 family and friends gathered last month for the celebration of 70th birthday of Ronnie Knighton and Ray Denard. Ronnie’s wife, Nita, hosted the party. Ronnie and Ray have been close friends for 57 years.

Fond memories were shared about the birthday boys by the many friends attending. Guests enjoyed barbecue including Boston Butts prepared by Marietta Attorney and friend Jim Maher.

Among the crowd were Nancy Bodiford, Babe and Bill Byrne, Penny and Alton Caudell and Dana. James Caudell, Joe and Jack Chastain, Frank Cox, Joyce and Melvin Denard, Rita Haynes, Julia and Ed Mote, Pat and Janet McPherson, Sean McPherson, Dan Tatum, Shelia Thompson, Kimberly and John Watson, and the list goes on, and on, and on.

vvv The 2014 Glory in the Garden, a fundraiser of the Marietta Educational Garden Center in Marietta, recently took place. Ellen and Clay Carmack, Lorie and Kevin English, Alice and Steven Fazekas, and Dana and Jeff White swept the table decorating contest with a tablescape inspired by the Disney movie “Frozen.”

The focal point was the winter wonderland ice tree: a prelit white burch adorned with live bridal wreath spirea, white hygrangea, snowlike sparkly moss branches, crystal snowflakes, tiered crystal icicles, snow balls, aqua blue sparkling fern, and dangling led lights. A floral ring covered in white hygrangea, tulips, silver shimmer ribbon, and moss served as the base.

Handmade signs that sparkled in the night were created with movie theme accents such as “Let it Go,” “I Like Warm Hugs,” and “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” Olaf’s noses were included and if you looked close enough, there were even little moss covered trolls with ears made from clay.

The group ate from silver chargers with glass plates accented with moss. Power was provided for the tree from a car battery and converter. A true winter wonderland.

dk Gallery hosts special father-son tribute show In tribute to Father’s Day and sharing the love of art with the children of this generation, worldrenowned Georgia artists, Thomas Arvid and Steve Penley, and their sons will have a special show together at dk Gallery titled Like Father Like Son. The event takes place June 14, from 2 to 5 p.m.

Gracing the gallery walls with their artistic talent, brothers, Jimmy Arvid, 13, and Christopher Arvid, 11, team up with Lyall Penley, 11, to share their paintings alongside their fathers. dk Gallery’s focus has always been to create and cultivate a community of art excellence and this show is focused on the importance of cultivating the love of art starting at a young age. It’s never too early to introduce the world of art and art collecting to children.

The father artists of Like Father Like Son, Thomas Arvid and Steve Penley, will awe and inspire the young and old alike. Thomas Arvid possesses an unerring ability to refine a moment. In doing so he captures our wonder and has become an art world phenomenon. Arvid astounds viewers with the intricate details of his images and with his mastery of light, depth, and reflection.

Steve Penley was raised in Macon, Georgia.

As with any child growing up in modern America, television imagery was a heavy influence on his life, and probably had a major impact on his choice of subject matter. Another big influence early on in Penley’s life came from the world of comic books. By the time he reached college at the University of Georgia, he had already trained himself to render objects with incredible realism.

He later spent time at the School of Visual Arts in New York before returning to Atlanta. Penley has picked up on pop art’s imagery, but his work lacks that movement’s sarcastic edge. He has chosen subjects familiar to everyone, For more information about the dk Gallery artists and events, visit their website www.dkgallery.us or call them at 770.427.5377. dk Gallery is located at 25 West Park Square in Historic Downtown Marietta.

The pursuit of perfection isn’t easy.

David Wendel knows this.

He has spent the last 32 years of his professional life chasing the artist’s dream. And, as Wendel will admit, as challenging as finding perfection can be at times, the Marietta artist wouldn’t have it any other way.

These days, Wendel finally is able to devote 100 percent of his time to his passion. In the past, he had split the discipline with his successful graphic arts career. “It feels wonderful. I’ve been fortunate enough to show at many galleries [over the past few years], including a sold out show in California, and shows in New York and Vancouver. There are now five galleries showing my work in the South.”

Business, as they say, is good. After exploring various media and paint applications, Wendel has adopted a renewed, long-term focus on realism. He currently is working on a series of large paintings (4-feet x 6-feet) based on photographs he took on beaches the last few years. Ancient Japanese tapestries have been of interest of late as well, as the influence continues to dominate his latest works. A recent series of floral pieces is on display at dk Gallery on the Marietta Square.

The last few years have been a learning experience like none other. “Experience is everything to moving forward,” Wendel says. “I’ve had the opportunity to meet many fine artists. The same concepts and attitudes that move any art lover, moves me also. It has been fantastic to take that into the creative process.

As far as subject matter, small things imagined as big things continue to interest me.”

Wendel began painting when he was a teenager. After graduating from the University of Georgia’s graphic design program, he set out to find his way as a professional and artist.

During the last couple of years, Wendel took time to learn different subject matters and executions, a learning curve he says had to happen. For example, using larger brushes was an invaluable experience.

Today, each of the galleries that feature his work has its own vibe, which keeps things interesting. And while the subject matter may alternate, style and execution are the commonality. “Focusing on the realism in a set series of pieces gives me both a guidance and clarity of purpose currently needed in the work,” he says.

Moving forward, Wendel is excited to be a part of Cobb’s evolving art community. He cites dk Gallery owner Donna Krueger as a driving force behind the evolution. As for Wendel, he continues to do his part best in encouraging and welcoming artists of all disciplines achieve their own unique space in the art community.

“It’s an honor to be part of this vibrant group of artists,” Wendel says. “I feel very much part of the community. My wife, Kate, and I have lived in Cobb for Wendel’s work is currently in several galleries across the nation.

LOOK HOT, stay cool After Georgia’s unpredictable, did-that-just-happen, frosty winter, more than a few of us are ready to welcome the summer sun with open arms. But we all know that, as wonderful as the summer is for the soul and spirit, its heat and humidity can be equally as brutal. There are obvious “no ma’am’s” when it comes to the summer wardrobe, but what are the “yes ma’am’s?”

If you remember nothing else when shopping this summer, remember one word: Bohemian. Fringe, chains, hair accessories, stacked bracelets, bold prints, lace, effortless tops and embroidery detail are all the rage this season and all give that bohemian chic look. Here are some ways to stay cool and stylish with a bit of a bohemian flair this summer:

Bring on the color Goodbye, blacks and greys of the winter. Bright, bold colors — particularly hot pink, turquoise and a variety of yellows — are great for bringing out the sunshine in your wardrobe.

match. One bright color alone can be just as impactful as several colors mixed into one print.

Pair bright pink shoes with a bold print dress. Stack multiple bracelets of different colors on one arm.

Pair a bright fedora with a linen shirt and denim shorts.

A crowning statement Hair is not just for ironing and curling – it’s all about accessorizing. Head chains, stretchy head bands, head ties, head wraps and floral accents are super chic, cool and comfortable. They are great for bringing a pop of unique style to any look, especially dresses and festival wear. Head chains look best with long hair worn down, particularly with bangs out and framing the face, while head bands work on virtually any hairstyle. Hair ties and head bands also look great tied or with the accent tilted to one side and with hair piled in a messy knot on top. This is particularly nice for looking cute and chic while staying cool in the heat.

Knot it up Feel like you need to jazz up that overly-flowy shirt or want to show off high-waisted shorts and skirts? Knot it up! This 80s trend is back, in a much more subtle way.

Knotting your shirts is a great way to cinch your waist, elongate your legs and add a bit of cool to even the most ordinary outfit. You can either tie it in a knot in the front or to the side

by tying the shirt, if there is enough material, or using a hair tie to knot the fabric and spreading the fabric to hide the tie.

And, speaking of knots, the messy top knot hair style is effortlessly chic while also keeping your hair off your neck and off your face. This shows off your face while combatting sweat and frizz.

Last fall a gaggle of kids gathered on the court at East Cobb’s Harrison Tennis Center as Randy Hancock, a Woodstock resident who has coached tennis in Cobb and Cherokee for the past 20 years, tweaked their crosscourt shots. Most of the kids had no idea Coach Randy had just returned from a two-week adventure in the wilds of South America. His trip to a remote tributary of the Amazon River even included a close call right out of the 1981 movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” “It got a little hairy on the way out,” Hancock said. “The pilots needed to find a stretch of river that was long and straight enough to give the floatplane sufficient time and lift to clear the trees. In this case, they didn’t have quite enough room: On takeoff, the pilot had to use the actual bend of the river to get enough space and speed to lift off. Honestly, we missed the trees by less than 50 feet.”

But for Hancock, a world-class angler whose sponsors include the likes of Daiwa, Pelican, Duckett Fishing, Mojo Sportsgear, SmartShield sunscreen and Boomerang Tool Co., braving a risk or two is nothing new. The 53-yearold adventure junkie routinely travels thousands of miles to rugged and remote destinations—places where fish and wildlife abound, but people are scarce. “This was my fifth trip to the Amazon,” he said. “My dad was in the Air Force, and we lived in the Republic of Panama for 10 years starting when I was eight. So for me, going back to the jungle is sort of like going home.”

In addition to coaching tennis players of all ages, Hancock runs Woodstock-based Outdoor Experiences, a business geared toward helping people enjoy and appreciate the natural world. “I work with individuals, families and small groups to help them do things that are adventurous and maybe a bit out of the norm for the average person,” he explained. “I might take clients tarpon-fishing off the coast of Florida, whitewater rafting in North Georgia or on a guided fishing trip in my 20-foot bass boat on Lake Lanier. It’s all about having memorable experiences in the outdoors.”

Hancock’s most recent adventure was a personal trip undertaken with his parents, Earl and Pat, both of whom are avid anglers. “Dad celebrated his 75th birthday down in the Amazon,” Hancock said.

The sights included 12-foot-long, alligator-like caimans swimming uncomfortably close to the jon boats; pods of pink-colored river dolphins cruising for piranha and peacock bass; rainbow-colored flocks of parrots and macaws clustering in treetops; and even a pair of giant river otters—elusive and endangered creatures that can grow five feet in length.

Getting to the remote spot roughly 4,000 miles away took some doing. “I drove to Ocala, Florida, where I picked up my parents,” Hancock said. “We then drove to Miami International Airport, checked into a hotel and got up at about 3 a.m. to catch a flight to Manaus, Brazil.” The next morning, the anglers boarded a floatplane and headed northwest nearly 300 miles into the Amazon River basin.

“We were on Rio Caures, a tributary of the Rio Negro River, which flows into the Amazon River,” Hancock explained. “Rio Caures is large when you’re on it, but it looks very small on a map, because the Amazon is so vast.”

for the entirety of the journey, so his followers and sponsors were able to track his movements via the Outdoor Experiences Facebook page. The party (eight anglers in all) slept in enclosed pontoon boats, which Hancock describes as “floating bungalows.” Mercifully, they were air-conditioned via a gas-powered generator.

“The average temperature was between 90 and 105 degrees,” Hancock said. “On a typical day, we would get a wake-up call at 5 o’clock in the morning, have breakfast and then head out in the jon boats to fish for the next 10 or 12 hours.”

The trip was more physically demanding than usual as a result of relentless downpours. “It rained every single day, and for most of the day,” Hancock said. “To stand out in the rain for 10 or 12 hours and make literally over 8,000 casts in a week is hard work. But there are so many things to see if a person just opens his eyes and appreciates what’s there.”

Throughout the catch-and-release fishing trip, Hancock focused on one highly prized fish in particular: Cichla temensis, which is among several species of peacock bass found in South America.

“Cichla temensis is the largest and most ferocious in terms of the fight and the strike,” Hancock said. On the last day, he used a 5.5inch “RipRoller” lure by HighRoller Fishing Lure Co. to snag his biggest fish of the trip: An iridescent, 24-pound peacock bass that had attacked the cigar-shaped lure with characteristic tenacity. “A trophy Chichla temensis is considered anything above 12 to 15 pounds,” he said. “The current world record is 29.1 pounds.”

All told, Hancock caught around 150 fish from an array of exotic species, including plenty of toothy pacu and piranha. On its website, Califon, N.J.-based Acute Angling, which organized the trip, describes some of these Amazonian fish in detail. Trairão, for

example, are considered “fantastic fighters, attacking lures both on the surface and below with gut-wrenching violence … accentuated by prodigious, head-shaking leaps.” The barracuda-like bicuda (B. cuvieri) “are a prized Amazon adversary.

Taking to the air instantly, they keep the fight right where the angler can see it, above the water. Their repeated jumps and bony mouths make landing a big specimen an exceptional angling accomplishment.”

Pirarara, or red tail catfish, are true “river monsters” sometimes weighing more than 100 pounds. “The 30-pounder I caught was small by comparison,” Hancock said.

But one sight on the trip was scarier than even the meanest-looking piranha.

“I flew over some of the clear-cutting in the Amazon, and it is a sad thing,” Hancock said. “That’s part of why I consider my work at Outdoor Experiences so important. Especially in today’s society, when things are moving at such a rapid rate, once in awhile we just have to slow down and appreciate what we have around us. I want today’s youth to learn this and pass it on to the next generation as well.”

McEachern to las montañas

By Adam Miller

As we descend into the Cusco Valley on a Peruvian Airlines flight from Lima, my new friend, Jorge, tells me of his three-month study with the Columbian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez and how coca leaves and a two-hour nap will save you from altitude headaches.

Jorge is taller than me (and I’m 6’2”) which makes him, I am to learn at baggage claim and throughout our stay, among the tallest people in Cusco. He’s come home from Toronto — where he works in the film industry — to visit family.

“Half of Cusco looks like my grandfather. The other half looks like the priests,” says Jorge, attempting a joke that I do not get immediately about this two-mile-high city in the middle of nowhere.

Before Cusco became famous for tourism because of Machu Picchu and other ancient ruins, it served as the capital of the Incan empire, which stretched latitudinally along western South America with a breadth, strength and structure that rivaled Rome.

By car, a trip from Lima to Cusco covers 600 miles and takes 24 hours through rough and dangerous travel along fraught-filled roads.

Modern travel — courtesy of Peruvian Airlines — covered that distance in two hours.

And then we were there. In less than a day’s travel from Marietta’s suburbs, my wife Megan, our son Benjamin, 11, and I were hoisting our bags from the carousel and walking into the Andes Mountains.

We were immediately breathless. Yes, because of beauty. But also because we had just entered a city twice as high as Denver.

Megan’s sister, Audrey Wilson, moved to Peru two years ago with her husband Nathan and their five children to provide medical care for the people of Cusco as missionaries with Mission To The World, a Presbyterian organization. Even though Cusco’s main industry is by far tourism, many of the conveniences and luxuries provided for outsiders have yet to reach the city’s poor.

This is why Nathan, a pediatrician, joined a team of medical professionals at a local clinic. La Fuente (which literally translates “The Fountain”) has stood out as a source of hope, an oasis of sorts, for people used to impersonal medical care. The clinic provides dentistry, opthalmology, pediatrics, general medicine and physical therapy on a sliding scale, which means the poorest of the poor can receive the same medical care as the wealthiest.

People have been known to travel 14 hours out of the jungle to come to La Fuente.

“They come here, even if they have insurance to cover other doctors, because we don’t yell at them,” says Nathan.

There’s also the common sentiment that you don’t go to a Cusco hospital unless you’re pretty sure you’re going to die. Otherwise your risk of dying increases.

This is why another of the Wilsons’ assignments is to mentor and train young medical students studying

6/2/2014 2:51:42 AM

at the medical schools in Cusco. La Fuente was recently placed on the official rotation for medical students, so the opportunities for influence have grown dramatically.

Audrey (formerly Audrey Cutler) was the valedictorian at McEachern High School in 1995. She always thought she would end up in the mission field.

“Most people only see one side of Cusco, but the side we see is shown to us through the stories of the people who’ve lived here their whole lives,” said Audrey. “They’re heartbreaking.

There is some real brokenness here that most people don’t see. And I think that’s why God has placed us here.”

Also a medical doctor, Audrey spends most of her time raising five kids, ages 3 to 11, in a city of stray dogs, Darwinian traffic laws and a two-hour flight away from the closest reliable hospital.

So needless to say, I didn’t expect to see a shopping mall. When the Real Plaza (pronounced “Ray Al Plassa” in Spanish) shopping mall was built in Cusco in November, Nathan told me how the native Quechua women (pronounced Catch You Uh) stood perplexed at the base of the escalator.

Such a wonder had never entered the Peruvian

The locals have since learned to navigate the halls of this intrusion of North American culture, though to say they’ve gotten used to it would be far from true.

Cusqueñans (natives of Cusco) probably make similar observations when North Americans stand panting at the foot of hills locals could sprint in sandals or stand awestruck at the foot of ancient Peruvian ruins such as Machu Picchu.

The year-round snowcap of nearby glaciers and the pounding heart and head and gasping lungs are a constant reminder for we lowlanders that the Chili’s Triple Play you’re enjoying has only recently arrived in the midst of the world’s second tallest mountain range.

The Frapuccino you bought from the Starbucks overlooking the Plaza De Armas is only recently available in what used to be the capital of one of South America’s greatest ancient empires. The ancestors of the Incas haven’t forgotten this after 500 years, and probably after 500 more they’ll still remember. Signs of Incan-Spanish conflict are everywhere — in architecture, language and a mix of Catholicism with ancient Incan spiritism.

The rich culture resulting from this history and surrounding landscape conquer the curiosity of millions of tourists every year, making tourism the city’s number one industry — thus the concurrent availability of Big Mouth Burgers and Alpaca steaks, a banana vendor guiding his hand-pulled cart past chartered buses full of tourists going to the Sacred Valley.

Despite all this we experienced a little of what life (and food) were like before U.S. gourmet entered the palate.

We eat choclo, a type of corn with kernels the size of grapes, that the Quechua sell for a sol — the equivalent of about 35 cents.

In Aguas Caliente we catch a bus up the mountain. We meet our tour guide at the base of Machu Picchu.

Fog pours through the gap between mountains.

It rises and falls like smoke over everything. It dissipates with the heat of the sun then comes back like an intolerable ghost. We’re on a tour of this ancient wonder of the world with a Quechua guide and a guy named Greg — later we learn he’s Greg Kaneval, second cousin to Evil Kaneval.

Greg Kaneval is an accountant on a two-week trip through South America. He’s going to Bolivia next.

Two guys take awkward poses and breathe deeply at Machu Picchu’s sun dial as we pass by.

“They must be doing a sun salutation,” says Megan, who took a year of yoga classes at Kennestone Hospital.

On our final morning I run into the hills and begin to understand why there are certain places in the city you might not want to go alone and why my wife’s sister and her family all have rabies vaccinations.

Dogs like these have seldom seen “gringo” legs like mine running up into the neighborhoods on the hills overlooking Cusco. I have never seen so many dogs. I’ve never been this scared of dogs. When I return, my wife and her sister have that startled look you get when you see someone you’ve resigned might not return from whatever stupid adventure they’ve attempted in a city they don’t know. You know that look.

On our last night, Nathan and I drive into the nearby hills for a camping trip with the kids.

Thirty minutes outside of town we turn onto a dirt road 1,000 feet higher than Cusco. Passing tilled soil and herds of sheep and cows, we park in an open field where the Wilson golden retriever takes off to taunt a bull and is nearly gored.

The wind is blowing hard as we set up camp. While Megan and Audrey celebrated a birthday back in town, Nathan and I are corralling his kids and my son. After hide and seek, dinner and lights out, the town glows below us, and the stars above.

Thirty minutes outside of town is the pastureland of Quechua shepherds and shepherdesses.

The Milky Way is more visible than I’ve seen in decades, and the Big Dipper is at least five times bigger and resting on the horizon.

We comment on how different life and sky seem in this half of the world. In two days we’ll go home with a whole world of memories and, hopefully, a changed perspective on life outside of Marietta.

“It’s a good thing to be a minority,” said Nathan, describing his family’s life in an Andean culture. My hope is that all this beauty and diversity translates into a new understanding of our place in the world.

Attention Sciatica and Low Back Pain Sufferers...

Could One Hour With Our Doctors Give You The Answer To Your Disc Pain?

Now, in Acworth, GA, Dr. Erin Arnold, D.C. & Dr. Amy Valente, D.C. have what may be the most important breakthrough in non-surgical back pain treatment. Before and after MRI studies have shown disc bulges shrink in size - even with the most painful cases of L4-L5 & L5-S1 herniations.

If you've had disc problems for years, recently injured your back,or you're suffering with sciatica,you must hear about these new studies.Scientific studies tell us that spinal discs are responsible for most of the aches and pains people suffer from. Discs act like a cushion between our backbones and allow for a space at each level so the nerves can exit the spinal column.

When these discs get injured or wear out from bad posture, they begin to degenerate and cause pain. Bulging and herniations begin to form, pressing on the nerve roots. If the herniations occur at L4-L5,they can severely compromise the large sciatic nerve, causing muscle weakness, tingling, and severe pain.

The most common invasive treatment for disc herniations is surgery. This costs quite a bit of money. Even with health insurance the patient is left with their own portion of the bill, in excess of $10,000-$15,000, and sometimes more. The recovery time and missed work can be anywhere from 3 to 6 months, not to mention the obvious severe risks associated with all surgery.

But here's the biggest problem… there is a high failure rate of back surgery. One medical study found that on average, 53% of L5-S1 back surgeries fail to produce relief of symptoms (International Orthop 1987.)

Before You Go Under The Knife And Opt For Spinal Surgery…

You should seriously consider a less invasive approach called spinal decompression. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a new technology that has been proven to reverse disc herniations. It creates a vacuum effect on the disc, which pulls the disc back into its normal position and brings in a fresh blood supply to promote healing.

Do You Have A Disc Problem?

If you experience any of the following in your back or neck, chances are your pain is due to a disc bulge, herniation or degeneration: • A vice-like squeezing feeling in your back • Sitting causes back or leg pain • Stabbing pain at the belt line or in your neck • Can't turn over in bed without hurting • Numbness in your toes or fingers • Fire down your legs • Searing pain radiates into your arm • Prickling in your leg or toes Finally, Some Good News……

If you've been suffering with back pain or arm/leg pain caused by a disc bulge, disc herniation or squashed or compressed discs. Until recently, the only advice for many of you suffering in pain was to try what you've been told: • Try exercising • Try physical therapy • Try pain medications • Try muscle relaxers • Try pain shots • Try dangerous back surgery • Just live with it If you're like most, none of these have worked for you or you are afraid of what could happen if you do try some of these.

Exercising makes you hurt more, pain medications and muscle relaxers cover up the problem and give you side effects. Pain shots can cause more pain, don't work or don't last very long or FIX the problem, back surgery didn't work, or made you worse.

Or maybe you were one of the lucky ones that back surgery actually helped, but now the problem is back with a vengeance.

Whatever your situation, you owe it to yourself to check into a Breakthrough Computerized Non-Surgical Treatment for back pain and sciatic or leg pain caused by a bulging, herniated or squashed disc or discs. It has helped hundreds of people who

were suffering just like you. This new treatment machine we are calling "the squashed disc machine."

How "Good" Discs become "Bad" Discs Over time the discs in your back tend to get squashed or compressed,especially if you've played certain sports when younger or have a job that requires lots of sitting or standing in one place for long periods of time. Car accidents, lifting things, very physical jobs just to name a few. It's kind of like a cookie with cream filling, and the cream filling will start to ooze out from between the sides of the cookie if pressure is applied on top of the cookie (like gravity on our spines). Eventually this happens to a lot of us. Statistics show over 80% of Americans will suffer with back pain some time in their life.

Spinal decompression treatments are very gentle. In fact, every once in a while I even catch a patient sleeping during treatment!

How Does This Machine Work?

Haven't you ever had the thought…"Gosh, if somebody could just pull me apart…I would feel a whole lot better." Yeah, we know you have. And it kind of makes a bit of sense. Well someone else, actually a medical manufacturer, back pain specialists, neurosurgeons and engineers have come up with just that. A machine that gently pulls you apart, stretches the disc to a certain point that causes a drop in pressure inside the disc (like a little vacuum in the middle of the cream filling) causing the cream filling to suck back in! You'll simply lie on your stomach or back, whichever is comfortable, and then a specialized belt is gently put around your waist. We'll set the machine to focus on your problem area - then the advanced decompression computer system will do the rest. Most patients feel better with just a few treatments, and best of all there will be no dangerous drugs, no invasive procedures, and no painful exercises.

Does Decompression really work?

Absolutely! When you come in we will provide you with studies that show why decompression is a preferred method of treatment. But what provides the best "proof" on how well decompression works is what patients say about it: Just Listen to What Our Patients Had to Say: I started at North Cobb Spine & Nerve Institute for pain in my low back that traveled down my right leg. The pain felt like a burning sensation down my leg and numbness into my toes. I was unable to walk my normal 5 miles. Since starting the spinal decompression therapy I am now able to walk again without any pain. The pain and numbness down my right leg is completely alleviated. I was surprised to find that I am even sleeping better at night and that the tension in my upper back has also been relieved. The staff here has treated my great and is very caring! Thanks - Bill Norman Before I started getting spinal decompression therapy I was having severe pain in my low back and numbness down my leg constantly. I had been suffering with this for 3 years. I had two nerve abrasions, multiple steroid shots in my back, pain killers, PT and water therapy and nothing worked. After the first spinal decompression treatment I could stand up straight with very little pain. I can now sleep through the night and exercise again. I am 90-100% better and I am so thankful I found this office. Thanks, John Ratledge As you can see, spinal decompression has a high success rate with helping disc herniations, sciatica, and back pain. In just a matter of weeks you could be playing golf, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

Feel the Improvement - and Say "Yes" to Life Again With my "Decompression Evaluation" we'll be able to find the problem and then get to work on it.Think of how you'll feel in

Dr. Erin Arnold just a few short weeks. See and feel your life change for the better. Start your body on the way to pain-free, normal living, feel tight joints rest, relax, free up, muscles tied in knots will become more supple and strength in your muscles may increase.

You're able to live life like a normal person again, without back pain - able to play with your kids, enjoy time with friends, and finally get a good night's rest.

The Single Most Important Solution To Your Sciatica and Back Pain It's time for you to find out if spinal decompression will be your sciatic and back pain solution. For 15 days only, we're running a very special offer where you can find out if you are a candidate for spinal decompression.

Wings

BY JOAN DURBIN R

PHOTOGRAPHY BY SAM BENNETT

Invented in the ‘60s, although exactly where remains in dispute, deep fried, unbreaded

chicken wings coated in a vinegar-based sauce quickly became one of America’s favorite snacks.

Over the years, inventive cooks have raised the bar on the original with a vast array of sauces. The one unchanging factor for modern-day chicken wings is the presence of celery and blue cheese dressing served on the side. There are certain standards that all of the best chicken wings will consistently meet. One is that the kitchen must start with chicken that is absolutely fresh, not frozen.

Another is meatiness. No one enjoys a drum or a flat that yields just a measly bite. To me, it’s not worth getting your fingers all sticky for less than two or three bites from each wing.

The cooking process is also a crucial element. The oil used must be kept hot enough to quickly seal in the surface of the wing to prevent unwelcome grease from seeping into the meat while it cooks.

Finally, it’s the sauce or seasoning that makes or breaks a wing. I give highest marks to kitchens that whip up their own rather than buy gallons of premade sauces wholesale. That level of culinary creativity can make good wings into great ones and forever set them apart from the ordinary.

Here are a handul of wing joints thoughout the county that met all of those criteria.

Marietta Wings and More 1869 Cobb Parkway, Marietta (770) 955-3130 www.mariettawingsandmore.com Hidden back off the street in a strip center next to a Buick dealership, this tiny eatery has been going strong for 12 years.

That success might have to do with the distinctive flavors that owner Mo Newaj imparts to his homemade sauces. The wing sauce he uses as a starting point is a good example.

Ingredients include garlic, cayenne, cumin, black pepper, and a spice blend typically used in Pakistani and Indian cuisines called chaat masala that has coriander, ginger and chili powder.

The result is both deliciously familiar and slightly exotic, in a good way. It’s the base for the hot sauce and is tweaked with crushed red pepper for varying degrees of heat.

“Most places just use regular sauce and there’s not any flavor there,” Newaj said. “Our sauces are our own recipe.”

There are 28 of those, with not a bad choice in the lot. Honey and sometimes a bit of sugar are used as sweeteners for some of the flavors.

For one of my favorites, the sweet heat wings, it’s basic hot sauce with honey and oregano to deepen the flavor profile.

Fresh chopped garlic is used for the hot garlic and garlic parmesan wings. Lemon pepper wings have a bit of butter to moisten them. Halal wings are available on request.

There are a few tables but business here is mostly take out, and calling in an order in advance is recommended.

B

orn in Jamaica, Marvil Rodney has always enjoyed cooking. He honed his craft working with culinary luminary Wolfgang Puck and in Atlanta kitchens such as the Livingston in the Georgian Terrace.

Two years ago, he opened his own restaurant in a plaza just a few feet south of Windy Hill Boulevard to serve the cuisine of his homeland.

All of his jerk-seasoned meats are terrific, and the jerk wings are a real treat.

What sets them apart from the norm are Rodney’s special recipe for the jerk seasoning and the time-consuming process of preparing the wings.

A true jerk mixture can have anywhere from a dozen to two dozen individual components. Rodney’s has around 20, all fresh.

“We do it the traditional way with fresh ground herbs and spices, including fresh pimiento, which actually is a berry like allspice that I bring in from Florida,” he said.

There’s also thyme, garlic, green and yellow onions, cilantro, white vinegar, a touch of sugar cane and Scotch Bonnet peppers, a small pepper that packs a big wallop of heat.

The name “jerk” comes “from the fact that you feel like a jerk after eating it, because it will clear your sinuses and make your nose run,” Rodney said with a smile. “We settled on a mild version that still has a kick to it, but you don’t get hit with that major heat.”

Rodney grinds his ingredients into a paste, which then is undisturbed for two days to let the flavors meld.

Then he spreads it all over the wings, which he allows to sit another two days, after which they are slow grilled to maximize the caramelization. Before serving, the wings are dipped in a jerk sauce containing his homemade paste plus fresh pineapple juice and chicken stock, all simmered together and reduced to concentrate the flavors.

These phenomenally tasty wings are served as an appetizer, garnished with fresh mango salsa, and also can be ordered as an entrée with two side dishes, Rodney said.

here are plenty of other choices on Lulu’s menu, but for many, it’s the 14 flavors of wings that are the big draw.

Owner Ben Kellner said the eatery will serve 1,200 to 1,400 pounds a week. “It’s our signature item. Wings are definitely the best-selling things on our menu.”

The wings aren’t seasoned before they are dropped into the hot oil, where they will fry for 10 to 12 minutes before being tossed in bowls of sauces to coat them fully and evenly.

Lulu’s offers five levels of heat, from mild up to Inferno and Insanity. The latter incorporates roasted ghost peppers, Scotch bonnets and habaneros, three of the hottest peppers known to mankind.

“It’ll make your lips pulsate,” Kellner said with a grin.

Though it’s clearly not for everyone, enough customers want Insanity’s fiery burn, although not all can finish their orders. Kellner is considering giving a T-shirt to anyone who can eat 10 at a time.

Hot teriyaki wings, affectionately called hottieyaki, is teriyaki sauce with cayenne; Asian heat is teriyaki with some sriracha sauce, which has hints of sweetness and garlic with the heat. Both are quite tasty, but the sriracha mix has an edge that for my tastes, can’t be beat.

Another of my favorites is Georgia Heat, which has cayenne, jalapeno juice and diced jalapenos for a pleasant zinginess.

Want wings that aren’t fried? Order them slow roasted then grilled, with a side of sauce. Having a healthier option is a wonderful thing.

Loco Willy’s Tex-Mex Restaurant

Wings

800 Whitlock Avenue, Marietta (770) 499-0077 www.facebook.com/pages/ Loco-Willys

Open two and a half years with a Culinary Institute of America grad as owner and executive chef, Loco Willy’s has an eclectic mixture of Southwestern style cuisine, fresh seafood, gourmet burgers and sandwiches that is unusual to find under one roof. But owner Charles Wilhelm pulls it off with flair.

Save the exploration of the rest of the menu, however, until you’ve tried Loco’s wings.

Smoked out back two and a half to three hours at low temperature over hickory wood augmented with white oak or apple wood, flash fried at the end to crisp up and then slathered in one of several different sauces, these wings are unlike anything else I’d had before. The color of these wings is darker than their fried brethren because of the smoke, which adds a bit of char and tangible depth of flavor, but the smokiness is far from overwhelming. It just plays nice with all the sauces, which are made in house.

Of course there are some with escalating degrees of heat, capped by one called Carolina Reaper. But some of the others are absolutely worth trying, too.

As a blue cheese lover, I can recommend the Spicy Whitey, essentially the medium hot wing sauce melded with blue cheese. There are also two versions of a teriyaki wing that are excellent: one is teriyaki and regular hot sauce, the other teriyaki blended with sriracha, that savory Thai chili sauce spiked with garlic. The kitchen adds a touch of agave nectar to balance the heat.

Though Loco Willy’s does offer plain grilled wings as well as the usual fried, the smoked wings are catching on fast, said Loco’s general manager Dave Pellier.

“I tell people to try them and if you don’t like them, send them back and I’ll buy you some of the regular ones,” he said.

“So far, I’ve never had anyone send them back.”

Wings John “JK” Kenny is a serious winghead. So important was it to him to serve only the top of the line in quality and variety that he went independent a year ago after being a Wild Wing Café franchiser for 18 years.

A man who knows a whole lot about cooking himself, JK seeded his kitchen at Wing Café & Tap with others who knew what went into creating a superlative chicken wing.

“We worked hard to redevelop the menu to make it healthier and tastier by improving some flavor profiles,” he said.

At present there are 34 distinct flavors of wings available, from a mild version fit for kids and grannies to one that will blow off the top of your head and clear your sinuses for a month.

That would be Coolio’s Zamunda Fire, invented by one of the café cooks and named for the African country of origin of Coolio’s Zamunda Fire Eddie Murphy’s character in “Coming to America.” mixes the hottest inCoolio mixes the hottest gredients he could find ingredients he could find into his scorching brew: ghost into his scorching brew: peppers, scorpion peppers, Thai ghost peppers, scorpichilis, habenero peppers, hot sauce, cayenne and crushed red on peppers, Thai chilis, pepper. habenero peppers, hot “Before you eat it you have to sign a waiver,” he said with a sauce, cayenne and big smile.

Fortunately I knew enough to ask for a glass of milk, the only substance that reliably puts out this kind of gastronomic fire.

Much more approachable for most diners would be the Rebel Yell, a winner of last year’s Lord of the Wings contest at the café for customer-created flavors. It’s a barbecue sauce that’s slightly sweet but also packs a bit of a kick.

I also loved the Packer Cheesehead wings, which boasted a cheddar cheesy crust made with jalepeno juice and flecks of jalapeno pepper. Not overly hot, just fully flavored and unique.

With all the wonderful sauces to choose from, JK said the smooth and creamy ranch dressing-flavored Cowboy wings outsell everything else two to one.

The wings are fried in hot oil, dipped into the sauces then baked.

All of the sauces here are made from scratch. A clear favorite of the local trade, Wing Café & Tap sells 30,000 wings a week.

During the Super Bowl, that rises to 12 to 18,000 wings in one day.

Talk about a hole in the wall.

That’s Rick’s Hotwings to a T. It’s a very small storefront barely visible from Highway 41 near the WalMart, and once inside, it’s absolutely no-frills, with just a few tables and barely room to turn around.

But owners Rita and Ketan Patel are obviously doing things right, because the family owned and operated eatery has been open since 2003. That’s a very good track record in the food service business.

Though there are other items on the menu, mostly all fried, it’s the wings that are the main attraction.

They come in four degrees of heat, with cayenne and black pepper punching up the hottest versions.

Every sauce is made in house.

The two biggest selling flavors here, by far, are the medium hot Buffalo-style wings and the lemon pepper, Patel said.

It’s that medium-hot version that serves as the base for other flavors like the spicy BBQ, which I liked a lot.

There are just shy of a dozen sauces, and Patel said he likes to keep to just the ones that have been tried and true with customers. But he will try to customize a flavor for a customer by mixing two together.

The wings can be ordered extra wet or with extra lemon pepper sprinkles and if you want it particularly crispy, just ask.

As a side note, there is not and never was a Rick at Rick’s Hotwings. “Rick” is a mashup of Rita and Ketan, the Patels’ given names.

You’re advised to call in your order ahead of pick up to minimize wait time. There is just Patel doing the cooking, although daughter-in-law Bhumika and son Dishart all help from time to time. The whole family lives in Acworth.

o, your mind is made up.

You’ve had your eyes on a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé — the $350,000 British handmade convertible piece of art that’s sure to turn more than its fair share of heads. Or maybe you want a Bentley, Jaguar, Porsche, Lamborghini or Ferrari. How about a BMW or Mercedes?

If you’re looking for a vehicle that races over the $100,000 mark, Cobb’s Robbie Aschar wants to talk with you. Or you could just drop by Select Luxury Cars, the museumesque showroom off Cobb Parkway South in Marietta that houses an alluring portfolio of late model handpicked luxury, exotic and sports cars to satisfy the James Bond in your soul.

CL_Summer2014(50) 50

Can you say luxury? Cars sold at Select include models such as Rolls Royce, Maserati and customized sports cars.

The “Millionaires’ Playground,” as some car aficionados call it, has an inventory as diverse as the customers it attracts. Name another car dealership you can walk into that features six exotic and super cars valued at more than $2 million dollars in its entrance way.

“It’s fun to watch people as they walk into the showroom,” said Ashcar, founder and CEO. “They are not astounded by the quality of the cars because they are expensive; it’s because they are pieces of art. When somebody decides to spend $300K on a new vehicle, they do it because it’s a piece of art.”

Ashcar has grown his business from selling fewer than 100 BMW and

Mercedes in 1994 to almost 1,000 high-end luxury cars annually. When he started in the business, he envisioned a place where people could find all the manufacturers under one roof, but didn’t feel like a used car lot.

That’s where service enters the picture.

While Select boasts customers who have bought at least 15 cars from it, what keeps them coming back is service. “Select is different because we really care about our customers,” said brand manager Rick Rampi.

“We want them to walk away with that blown away feeling, and then tell their friends about us.”

Yes, but can a dealership specializing in high-end cars really be “all things to all people?” Rampi says yes. With an inventory of cars ranging in price from $15,000 to $350,000, the majority of the ones Select sells (about 80 percent) are BMWs, Porsches, Mercedes Benz and Audis.

“Most people don’t think they can ever afford a luxury vehicle, but that simply isn’t true,” Rampi said. “We make it affordable to own a luxury vehicle and are constantly looking to refine our customer service experience to evoke that ‘wow’ emotion.”

There are other tweaks that keep customers coming back. For example, the Select team scours inventories across the country to make sure they are maintaining the most competitive prices.

And then there’s Select’s new business model. Six months ago, it unveiled a concept that may revolutionize the way people get their luxury brands serviced. Select Luxury Service is unlike anything the luxury vehicle market has seen. The one-stop shop concept enables customers to buy and service their vehicles all in one location.

Each car on the lot is inspected and reconditioned. If the vehicle doesn’t meet Select’s standards, it is wholesaled out.

After customers purchase a vehicle, the Select team follows up with them to see that everything meets their expectations. If not, Select fixes the problem.

“You can be confident that if you’re looking at one of the vehicles on our lot it is of high quality,” Rampi said. “Customers don’t grow on trees. Once we earn your business once, we want to earn it for all of your luxury vehicles.”

Select plans to bring the concept to market by investing in its expansion. It currently is studying another location in Atlanta and has been approached by investors to expand into other states.

Rampi said the premise is simple: “We sell more than just high quality luxury cars; we sell your dream as a child, your favorite past time, your slice of life and your weekend getaway.”

We slid our kayaks onto the soft bank and set out to explore. The gentle waters had left behind a landscape of rippled sand, and a treasure trove of shells. As we traverse the sandbar, our guide points out wildlife — a crab scurrying to the water, birds pecking at the debris — and shares his vast knowledge of this stretch of Georgia’s coast. In the distance a heron gazes into the ocean, taking in the tranquility of the scenery just as I am, reflecting on the peacefulness such an environment inspires. That sense of appreciation and preservation of natural habitat is what gives Sea Island its charm. Though it has all the amenities expected of a modern, first-class posh resort, its grand architecture, embraced by sweeping live oaks and warm Southern hospitality, gives it an old-world feel.

This little slice of heaven has been a favorite among generations of well-heeled families, dignitaries and celebrities for over 85 years. Now, the recently opened The Inn at Sea Island, which is a five-minute drive from the resort’s main entrance, offers a more affordable option for budget-conscious families. (Current rates start at $155 a night).

The Inn is modeled after the signature classical Mediterranean design seen throughout Sea Island of arches and red-tiled roofs, but with a more casual interior. The hotel has cozy rooms and a chic outdoor seating area near the pool.

Other amenities include continental breakfast, a workout room and club storage for golfers. A shuttle provides complimentary transportation to and from the resort’s other properties. If you prefer to drive, your room key serves as your pass through its gated entrance.

Guests at the Inn may enjoy Sea Island’s restaurants, activities and expansive grounds. (However, there is an extra fee per day for admission to the Beach Club resort, which grants access to the beach).

The options for leisure and adventure are not only abundant, but exceptional in quality and experience.

The spa, which earned a Five-Star designation in Forbes Travel Guide, envelops you in serenity as soon as you step into its lush waiting room. The tree-filled atrium has inviting chaise lounges that sit alongside flowing water. In addition to a steam room, sauna, heated whirlpool and huge heated indoor pool, the

CL_Summer2014(54) 55

spa has an intriguing outdoor labyrinth. A massive fitness center is also located within the spa facility.

(For the ultimate in pampering, I highly recommend the supremely divine Spiced Fusion Treatment, especially after an active day. The spice-based treatment, inspired by healers in Bali, begins with a scrub made with the root of ginger. Next is a soak in a clawed-foot tub filled with essential oils and rose petals, followed by an hour-long Balinese massage.)

Sea Island’s skeet shooting, tennis lessons and golf lessons are taught by consummate professionals.

Fishing, kayaking, and salt marsh expeditions are led by knowledgeable guides. Horseback riding along the beach is an invigorating and breathtaking experience.

The sporting club and lodge Broadfield offers a variety of seasonal hunting, fishing, sporting and organic culinary opportunities, including such unique experiences as falconry.

Sea Island also has a few signature traditions that add to its charm and creates lasting memories for guests. The wildly popular Bingo night is a classy affair, with a dash of fun. Dinner jackets are required for the gents and the ladies dress up as well. The longtime host incorporates responses and callbacks with certain letter and number combinations that regular participants join in with.

Or you may want to venture over to the English country manor known as The Lodge to sip on a mint julep and watch the sun set as a bagpiper dressed in traditional kilt plays on the manicured golf course overlooking Saint Simons Sound. Later in the night,

And for golfers, the resort boasts three 18-hole championship courses.

The island offers plenty of activities for kids of all ages as well. Camp Cloister keeps children ages 3 to 14 engaged in nature discoveries, games, crafts and outdoor activities. Dozens of other activities range from cookie-making classes to survival skills after dark. Teens have options specially catered to them as well.

A LOVE SUPREME Summer just isn’t summer without ice cream.

The frozen treat cools you down, tastes like heaven and every bite is loaded with happy, carefree childhood memories. But unfortunately, ice cream is also loaded with fat, sugar and, in many brands, a ton of questionable additives.

Fortunately for us, Austell resident Ashiki Taylor, creator of Ice Supreme, makes a healthy and flavorful alternative right here in Cobb that’s available at Whole Foods. It’s creamy, it’s cold, it’s made with nutritious ingredients — and it’s downright delicious.

A decade ago, you wouldn’t find Austell resident Ashiki Taylor inside a kitchen. But when a commitment to a healthier lifestyle meant he had to give up ice cream, one of his favorite desserts, he took matters into his own hands.

“I used to be a McDonald’s and Häagen-Dazs person. I wouldn’t even go into the kitchen; I wouldn’t even make a peanut butter sandwich,” he said.

But soon he found himself tinkering around with recipes, learning his way around mixing bowls and researching food online, all in the name of ice cream. He was determined to discover a healthier alternative that tasted like the real thing.

But how? His solution was nutty.

Almonds.

Taylor’s creation is almond-based and uses only ‘real food’ ingredients.

All six varieties are comprised of filtered water, raw almonds, raw cashews, organic agave nectar, raw vanilla bean and Himalayan crystal salt. There are no fillers or binders.

He was so happy with his creation that he began making batches for family and friends. Their enthusiasm for the treat quickly matched his. He called it Ashiki’s all-natural ice cream, but the name didn’t quite fit.

“This isn’t ice cream, this is ice supreme,” declared a friend after devouring several scoops.

And so Ice Supreme was born.

Eager to share his creation with others, Taylor took his frozen treat to Sevananda Natural Foods Market, a consumer-owned market in Atlanta. His success there prompted him to pitch his product to the pinnacle of health food grocery stores — Whole Foods.

He left samples with the regional office.

Two days later, he received a phone call. Whole Foods wanted to sell Ice Supreme in all the Atlanta-area stores.

“I was on the ceiling,” Taylor said about his excitement.

Now he spends about half his time in the kitchen, mixing up Ice Supreme at a facility in Marietta. Most weekends you can find him at various Whole Foods locations giving out samples.

Taylor touts it as the world’s healthiest frozen dessert.

“I challenge anybody when they are making a purchase decision if they look at any other frozen treat out there and do an apples to apples comparison, we are the healthiest,” he said. “Most frozen desserts, when you read the label, they have 10 or 15 ingredients. Why do you need that much? It’s like anything else, you get what you pay for.

If you eat cheap food, it’s going to impact you. If you eat good, quality food, it’s going to help you.”

The frozen treat is a great alternative for those who need a gluten-free or lactose-free diet, or just want to enjoy one of summer’s most iconic pleasures without the high amount of fat, sugar and additives.

Because it’s essentially “frozen nuts” which are full of protein, Taylor says Ice Supreme is also makes a really great breakfast. “(Protein) helps kickstart the day.”

But the most important factor is taste. Taylor is most proud that Ice Supreme passes the taste test among children, and is enjoyed by those who can’t eat traditional ice cream.

“I’ve had people email me — my son or daughter has celiac disease and your product is the only thing they can eat (that tastes like ice cream). That’s the kind of stuff that makes me feel good about this,” he said. “When you can get kids to eat something healthy, that’s a good thing.”

WHAT MAKES IT HEALTHY? While ice cream makes you feel happy while you eat it, soon afterwards you’re crashing from the sugar rush and feeling bloated from the dairy and saturated fat.

Ice Supreme’s nuts actually give you an energy boost.

The manganese, copper and riboflavin found in almonds contribute to energy production.

Think the fats in nuts will lead to weight gain? Nope. In fact, those who frequently eat nuts are less likely to gain weight than those who rarely eat nuts, according to results from two Harvard studies.

Almonds Almonds contain monosaturated fats (the same type found in olive oil), which helps lower LDL cholesterol.

Studies have shown nut consumption is linked to a lower risk for heart disease.

Researchers estimated that substituting nuts for an equivalent amount of carbohydrate in an average diet resulted in a 30% reduction in heart disease risk. When fat from nuts was substituted for saturated fats (found primarily found in meat and dairy products), the risk reduction calculated was an even more impressive 45%.

Almonds are also a rich source of Vitamin E, magnesium and potassium.

ICE Supreme contains more calcium and protein than other non-dairy brands.

Cashews Like almonds, cashews have healthy fat and similar nutrients, including an even higher amount of copper.

ICE Supreme is dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free and 100 percent vegan for those with restrictive diets.

THE FLAVORS Chocolate Nibs Coconut Supreme Pecan Passion Strawberry Bliss Vanilla Bean Greens Supreme (a unique flavor made from Collard greens, and yes, it’s delicious) BASIC INGREDIENTS Filtered water, raw almonds, raw cashews, organic agave nectar, raw vanilla bean, Himalayan crystal salt NO Cholesterol NO Trans Fat NO Gums NO GMOs

WHERE TO BUY ICE Supreme is at twelve Whole Foods stores, including Birmingham, Nashville, Detroit and all metro Atlanta locations.

It’s also at Sevananda and Return to Eden in Atlanta. >>IN COBB, find it at Cobb Harry’s, 70 Powers Ferry Rd SE, Marietta and at the Merchants Walk Whole Foods location, 1311 Johnson Ferry Rd NE, Marietta

Wings in Flight

888

By Michael Venezia Photography by Sam Bennett

In professional beverage tasting exercises, the word “flight” is used to describe a selection of wines, beers or spirits that will be experienced in a predetermined progression. It could be a flight of multiple vintages of the same wine, a flight of assorted wine varietals, or a flight of several different styles of beers or spirits. Usually pre-poured in 2 oz. portions, the goal is for the taster to learn more about the products at hand.

On May 7, a small group of food and beverage professionals met at the Wing Café & Tap House to enjoy a flight of 12 of their signature wings accompanied by a selection of beer, wine and cider. Our stated goal was to try to reach a consensus as to what wing flavors were the most compatible with the flight of selected beverage products available at the Wing.

Hosted by Captain Winger, aka J.K., the owner of this popular East Cobb destination, the invited guests were Chef Patrick Gebrayel, master charcutier, and partner in Heywood’s Provision Company, Matt Moore, a craft beer specialist, Lauren Pelfrey, an experienced hospitality professional, Sam Bennett, Cobb Life Magazine photographer, and yours truly.

With 32 flavors available at The Wing we decided to select 12 and have them offered in two six wing flights of distinctly differed flavor profiles. We would then taste through the wing flight with the variety of beverage selections and try to agree on some perfect flights of fancy!

Of course, ranch and blue cheese dip and celery sticks were served.

The Hot and Spicy Wing Flight #1 Olympic Torch #4 Cowboy Killer #2 Raspberry Chipotle BBQ #5 Spicy Ninja #3 Gold Fever #6 Jamaican Each one of these wing flavors has a significant amount of heat and our tasting panel agreed that they were significantly more delicious with the craft and seasonal brews. The refreshing and cooling effervescence of the cold beer immediately reduced the palate assault of the fiery chilies.

Craft Beer and Cider #1 Boulevard 80 Acre Hoppy Wheat #4 Terrapin Hi 5 IPA #2 Sierra Nevada Summerfest #5 New Holland Dragon’s Milk #3 Abita Restoration Ale #6 Crispin Cider

At West Cobb Funeral Home, we have been committed to serving the families of our community for the past 18 years. Recently, we have renovated and added a tranquil pavilion which adjoins our spacious family reception room.

See why more families are choosing our home, our services and our facilities.

The Wine Flight # 1 Menage a Trios Moscato #4 Montevina Pinot Grigio #2 Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling #5 Mountain Door Malbec #3 Matua Sauvignon Blanc #6 The Show Cabernet Sauvignon After 30 minutes of tasting and discussion, the tasting panel offered the following sensory evaluation. With the hot and spicy wings the Sierra Nevada Summerfest, a light lager made in a pilsner style was the most compatable and the sweeter wines such as moscato and riesling were favorites as well. The crisp overtones of the apple cider was also appreciated. When the panel was pressed to declare their overall preferences the runner up was the Olympic Torch with the Boulevard 90 Acre Hoppy Wheat and the winner was Cowboy Killer with the Terrapin Hi 5 IPA. If you love wine I must note that it is hard not to appreciate the Jamaican, with its jerk rub of ginger, garlic paste and chili peppers with the Mountain Door Malbec from Argentina.

The Subtle and Temperate Flight #1 Honey Mustard #4 Kentucky Bourbon #2 Sesame Ginger #5 Lemon Pepper #3 Garlic Parmesan #6 Teriyaki

In addition to Venezia, East Cobb’s Chef Patrick, left, and Wing Café and Tap Room owner JK Kenny took part.

After a 10 minute break we attacked the second wing flight of flavors which were absent of intense heat and more riveted to honey, mustard, ginger, bourbon, lemon pepper and Asian spices. The sweet and savory flavors were arguably more wine friendly and opened up many more options for wine lovers. A very popular combination and heavily lobbied by Chef Patrick was the Lemon Pepper with the Matua Sauvignon Blanc. Lauren enjoyed the Kentucky Bourbon with the New Holland Dragon’s Milk, a stout aged in Bourbon barrels. Matt endorsed the Sesame Ginger with the Abita Restoration Ale. My personal favorite was the Garlic Parmesan with the Montevina Pinot Grigio.

After 120 Wings and two hours of tasting we finally awarded runner up in this flight to the Lemon Pepper with Sierra Summerfest and the Teriyaki with its Asian spice box flavors with the Abita Restoration Ale as the winner of this flight.

This exercise only proved that your own palate will dictate what wing flavors match your beverage choices and that only by trial will you discover the perfect beverage to compliment the extraordinary selection of wings from The Wing Café and Tap Room.

J’EAT YET

BY LINDSAY FIELD

Can he be 3 forever?

One of the best things about my 3-year-old son Jack—aside from him being ridiculously cute and yes, I know I’m biased—is the amazing stuff that he has conversations with me about or the observations he makes. I remember people telling me how toddlers are a handful, how their moods are all over the place and that having a boy would keep me busy, but not a single person ever said that I’d get so much entertainment out of his oneliners. I mean, if the kid doesn’t make it as a professional baseball, soccer or football player (mama and daddy can always dream), there’s always a chance he could be a stand-up comedian.

The timing of what he says or when he says it is also quite stunning, and sometimes horrifying.

It never fails that he asks the most embarrassing questions when they can hear him. Most recently, he asked his pediatrician why she had yellow teeth. She very politely told Jack that she was older and that she had always had bad teeth, but I was horrified! Jack has also started noticing when people have larger bottoms than others. I’m not quite sure why he is observing this (let’s just blame it on school), but he now quite fondly tells me that people have “a lot of hiney in their booties.” I’ll just let you ponder on that one!

Here are a few of our other conversations over the last few months: Me: “Jack, you have to wear your floaties in the pool. You haven’t learned how to swim yet.”

Jack: “But I’m awesome. I should be able to swim.”

(Let’s just call this his Spider-Man complex) (While driving thru downtown Atlanta) Jack: “Look Mommy, there’s a man on top of the Gold Dome.”

Me: “Hmm ... I wonder who that is?”

Jack: “It’s Jesus. It’s gotta be Jesus!”

Steakhouse before supper) Jack: “Why are we eating deer for dinner?”

Me: “That’s a cow with horns. It’s called a longhorn.”

Jack: “I don’t want to eat horns either!”

Me: “How was school?”

Jack: “I told my teachers today that you were getting married.”

Me: “And what did they say?”

Jack: “They said not to be afraid. There’s no reason to be afraid.”

Jack: “You used to teach?”

Honey (my mother, who taught kindergarten for 35 years): “Yes, but I stopped because it was too hard for me to get up and down when I played with the children.”

Jack: “Were you too fluffy?”

(I explained to Jack once that it’s impolite to call people fat, so he came up with the term fluffy.)

In keeping this column ALL about my son, I thought I’d share a simple, but yummy, chicken wing recipe that we recently learned Jack loves. Thanks Uncle Shawn for sharing!

Ingredients: 3-5 pounds of chicken wings, skin on 1 stick unsalted butter 1 small bottle hot sauce (Frank’s Red Hot Sauce is recommended) Salt and pepper to taste Salt and pepper the chicken wings generously and grill. On the stovetop, bring the hot sauce and butter to a boil. Reduce to low heat. Immediately after taking the wings off the grill, toss them in the hot sauce/butter mixture and serve with LOTS of napkins.

Enjoy!
