Belk's loss is K & S's gain

When the cafeteria at the Crabtree Valley Belk's closed, there were many disappointed people, and I was in that group. In fact, that cafeteria was just about the only reason I have even gone to Crabtree in years; it is the one place in the world where I feel claustrophobic.

But little by little, the old cafeteria staff has been appearing at the K&S behind Six Forks Station, and they are improving K&S a great deal. For about 5 years, the desserts at this K&S had tasted like paste (and had the same consistency). Tonight, as I went through the line, the pecan pie called my name. I noticed it looked different and decided to try it. Imagine my surprise when I bit into the first bite: crusty, toasted pecans on top and a wonderfully creamy, syrupy sweet inner filling! It was heavenly and an ample reward for the time spent on my feet arranging flowers for Valentine's Day. I recommend it!

I got word today that my blog has been accepted at blog of the day, and will be featured on March 23rd. They asked me to put a permanent link to their site on my blog - and I wish I could - but I don't know how to do it. I am so totally computer illiterate that I can't do much more than basic stuff. However, you can find them at:

and I hope you will check them out and see all the interesting blogs they have listed.

I try to avoid Crabtree Valley as much as I can, it is very crowded! But I am going to take Sparkle over there sometime soon and get her Glamour Shots done.

That pecan pie you ate sounds scrumdialicious!!!!

Belks is an example of a money hungry store which doesn't care about Raleigh institutions like the Capitol Room. All they could see was space for consumer goods, not tradition or a good place to eat. I hope K&S can survive. Too many cafeterias are closing all over the nation. Malls are nothing but a nuisance anymore and a hang out for kids.
Hey, Judy, remember the cafeteria at the Diamond Department Store in Charleston?
