We had a fantastic time at the Palmetto Tasty Tomato Festival on Sunday! Forrest was the event photographer, so I hung out and ate as many tomatoes/tomato dishes as possible. It’s awesome to see the variety of heirloom tomatoes being grown at City Roots and by others throughout the midlands. They’re beautiful and delicious! Our …

beachin’
We spent last week at the beach with my family! Fourteen people in one house on the ocean. It was awesome. While we were there, we celebrated my Mom’s birthday and Forrest’s birthday, kayaked in the inlet, dug in the sand, basked in the sun (plenty of sunscreen, of course), ate too many delicious things, …
Artsy Fartsy Friday (on a Saturday)
Forgive the delay. We’re just getting home from a week at the beach with my family and I completely forgot! And speaking of family… SC Palm by Luke Clonts This lovely (which hangs in our living room) was made by Forrest’s cousin. Luke and his wife, Ailsa, gave us his gorgeous painting as a wedding …

I won’t say that I’m a chicken wing connoisseur, but I DID grow up with a dad from Buffalo, NY, the place that put chicken wings on the map! Every time we’re there, we end up on a quest for chicken wings at some place or another. SO, maybe I lived with a wing connoisseur…that …

My grandmother makes a killer potato salad. And like all self-respecting grandmothers out there, it has no recipe. I picked her brain for the ingredients and gave it a whirl. Red potatoes, hard boiled eggs, sweet pickles, bell pepper, salt, pepper, and the tiniest bit of mayonnaise. I’m terrible at following directions, so of course …
Fitz
The little cat has been by my side constantly these last couple days. I think he missed his mama. Also, I made a variation of this for dinner. It’s one of my favorites and it’s pretty delicious. <3, Liz
weekenders
It’s been a slow, lovely weekend. We spent yesterday afternoon on the lock in the river with Nick, Shannon, and a few friends. Then we came home, cleaned up, and enjoyed a dinner of Caw Caw burgers (a fabulous new beef-pork blend from Caw Caw Creek in Columbia), spinach salad, and sauteed summer squash. Oh, …
hometown brew
So, a brewery opened in Florence. And the beer is pretty excellent. Right now they’re brewing a Goldilocks (golden) Ale and a LeRoy Brown (brown) Ale. I was all over that Goldilocks Ale. We had dinner there, as well. The best thing we tried was a barbeque egg roll appetizer. I heard that this place …
