The transition from vision to reality does not typically carry ease, much less perfection.

Through all of my family 's simchas (celebrations) in Memphis over the last 25 years, out-of-town guests account for a majority of the guest list. This wedding was no exception, as Alex's and my families were 100% from out of town, resulting in 200 relatives and friends from other cities! Of course, we rose up to the challenge to welcome their stays in style, but I desired to elevate the "tastes" of Memphis from potentially expected, traditional airport gift shop finds to local craft confections and treats.
