Have You Ever Had to Wear a Head Sock?
Have you ever had to wear a head sock? Have you ever even heard of a head sock?
Before yesterday, I would have felt pretty good about answering “No” to both of these questions.
However, when Kelli and I went to The Pit in Mooresville for some indoor go kart racing, we had to wear head socks underneath our helmets. So, in case you are ever asked in a trivia contest what the heck is a head sock, here is a photograph to give you a visual representation:
Sunday Brunch at Nolen Kitchen
Kelli and her mom each had Eggs Benedict with home fries. Her brother Dan had the reuben with Nolen fries. I ordered their Vanilla Bean French Toast that came with powered sugar, fresh strawberries and vanilla maple syrup. I also ordered some scrambled eggs and their Nolen fries, which the server stated were the best in town because they cooked them with parsely, parmesan, salt & pepper all together. Those fries were indeed delicious. (Sidebar: I was just telling Kelli the other day after brunch at Eddie’s Place in Toringdon next to Earth Fare that more restaurants needed to flare up their fries with peppers, onions and the like.) I like fries that have an interesting kick or twist to them to flavor them up.
They also served some mini vanilla scones right before the brunch was served, which were perfect portions and quite tasty.
Even the coffee was very good and tasted like fresh french press coffee. Our server stated that they grind their coffee beans right before brewing each pot of coffee.
A new trend with a lot of local restaurants that Kelli and I have been frequenting lately (such as Carpe Diem in Elizabeth) is that they source their ingredients from fresh local farmers, and Nolen Kitchen is no different. This definitely gives the food a fresh, organic and flavorful taste.
I wanted to document our wonderful brunch today at Nolen Kitchen with a few photos - Enjoy!

About Chaz
Welcome to iPosit.com.
I’m originally from Jackson, Miss. Born & raised there for 30 years. Mississippi is home, but I’m also of Lebanese descent. Quite a combination, eh? I started a web development shop there in March of 2000 called D2 Interactive. We were an eBusiness services firm specializing in e-commerce, building web-based apps, database programming, web design, web/email hosting, content management solutions (like SpotEdit), search engine marketing and email marketing services. Sold that company after 5 years in April 2005. I was proud of how we’d grown D2 as a small, talented shop with 10-12 employees and two offices between Jackson, MS & Oxford, MS. But, now that time seems like almost ages ago.
So, when I was 30, I sold my first company to join another opportunity with Ashley Furniture HomeStores here in the Carolinas. Now 33 years young (or old, depending on your vantage point), I co-own 9 Ashley Furniture HomeStores in Charlotte, NC & Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson, SC. And, I’m very happily married to the former Miss Kelli Nicole Evans.
I like Lost, The Office & good food. The Chicago Cubs and Ole Miss Rebels are two teams that I root for. And cool applications of technology still hold my interest.
One of my hobbies is searching for cool available domain names. I own BuzzEngine.com, BrowserBlog.com, SEOToday.com, ClickStatz.com, WebmasterLog.com, RFIDLog.com, HostingLog.com, MyBlogDirectory.com, MyWebsiteDirectory.com, SearchMS.com, PHP.ms, Seek.ms, Blogs.ms, Blues.ms, SEOToolKit.com & others. Not sure what I’ll ever do with them other than dream up web-based business plans.
Another hobby is reading blogs. I should probably post all of the blogs I read on this site somewhere.
I should also mention that I’ve been a huge Apple fan for the past year. I bought the iPhone the first day it came out on Friday, June 29th, 2007, and I purchased a MacBook Pro on Black Friday 2007. I gotta say that I’ve really enjoyed becoming an Apple/Mac/iPhone fanatic. Recently switched from open source (Firefox/Thunderbird/OpenOffice) to Apple’s suite of software (MacMail/Safari/iWork).
I’d also like to give a shout out to CharlotteONE led by Dave Hickman (follow him at www.twitter.com/davehickman or on Facebook). And, I’d like to mention my brother Jason who just recently accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. I’m very proud of him.
