Style Magazine - February 2022
Whether the words “bibimbap” and “bulgogi” ring any bells or not, this month’s feature, “Head East!” (page 72), is aimed at informing and hopefully inspiring you to explore unfamiliar-to-you fare. From Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese to Japanese and Korean, we share the flavors that define each country’s cooking and a list of the most iconic eats. Hopefully it encourages you to think outside your typical takeout box and dig into something that surprises you…in the best, most delicious way. What else is cooking this month? In honor of Valentine’s Day, we have lots of lovey-dovey content, including a spotlight on four meet-cute couples who make marriage look easy (“Two’s Company” on page 22); the region’s prettiest pink drinks to sip alongside your nearest and dearest (page 92); and relationship pointers from the pros, ensuring your courtship stays sexy and spontaneous (“Together Forever” on page 38). One of the tips? Scheduling at least two date nights every month. If you’re looking for something different to do, consider reserving a spot at Auburn’s hottest table in town, Restaurant Josephine (page 88); heading out for a hike on the Homestead to Blue Ridge Loop (page 42), or attending a crab feed fundraiser, art exhibit, or live performance (page 12); all are wonderful ways to bring the butterflies back, if even for a few fleeting hours. I wish I could say my husband and I have big, passionate Valentine’s Day plans, but we’ll be bonding over the birth of our baby girl—estimated to arrive any day now—so I’m anticipating a February filled with little sleep, lots of Thai takeout (our family’s favorite!), and an abundance of love. See you after my maternity leave. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle
