GA and SC best lowcountry restaurant food.
Comments (17)We just returned yesterday, from a few days in Charleston, celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Love that area! I always manage to go to Rue de Jean for their mussels and frisee lyonnaise salad....lunch time...it's more affordable than dinner, and a real treat for me. If you don't mind driving a good bit and like down home cooking...there's a little run-down looking restaurant on Hwy 17 out of Mt. Pleasant going north toward Georgetown, must be about 15 miles or so, on the left, you might like. Good prices, plenty of seafood and a ton of side dishes. Their desserts are homemade; I've seen "mammaw" carrying in homemade cakes on a dome covered plate, numerous times, although I'm never able to eat dessert. DH and I ordered fried shrimp from the seniors menu, I think it was $8.95 and I counted 12 shrimp. One side was included and I ordered cole slaw, extra. Certainly good on the tummy and the budget as well. (Bad on the hips, though)LOL We also found a new little French Bakery on John St. just a couple of doors from Rue de Jean restaurant. They have only been open 5 weeks, so they said. Enjoy your vacation! I have to say I'm partial to Charleston but I love Savannah too. jude...See MoreBest and Worst Restaurant salads
Comments (19)Extra Virgin Olive Oil (has to be a fruity one) and balsamic vinegar. Or nothing. I admit to being way to fond of arugula with way too much olive oil and Italian dense white bread on the side. Don't need vinegar for that (and my rosacea is the better for it). My husband has learned to like the oil and vinegar - years ago it was creamy salad dressing garnished with a tiny piece of lettuce. I used to call in chip dip on a plate....See MoreRECIPE: Why Copycats?
Comments (14)LOL, LindaC, that sounds like MY green bean recipe, but I use home smoked bacon and sometimes add a handful of almonds, rebel that I am. I haven't found anything at any of the chain restaurants listed that I cared to recreate either, but my daughter Ashley vehemently disagrees with my assessment. Her favorite is Olive Garden, which I just don't like at all, especially that salad swimming in vinegar and oil. Thankfully, she's more than willing to eat my portion of that as well as her own. She'll also eat a deep fried Twinkie which I think is just evil and wrong. Different tastes for different people, I suppose. After all, I love liver and hate chocolate ice cream and I think a lot of people would disagree with those food choices. Annie...See MorePics from my Charleston trip
Comments (58)New Home Builder, I love your decor palette and it's one of my favorites here! We still have some things in progress inside; but when I figure out how to post pictures, I'll show you some of the outside. I love our home and while I miss the mountains, but they aren't far. We are now halfway between my family at the beach, and my husband's family near Birmingham. It's fun having to decide between trips for your birthday. Either one you choose will be terrific! Thanks for welcoming me. Patricia, I drive through Laurens once a month on my way to a consulting client, so will check out the Rosewood Cottage of which you spoke. When my husband and I were looking for an older home, we saw one listed in MLS in Laurens. It was a little too far, but recently I saw the exterior of the home, and it's so grand! Our home is one level since it's our retirement home, and we won't have to climb the stairs when we're 90. :-) I'm really sorry that so many fine Southern cities are tearing down their buildings. Hearing about Richmond breaks my heart! One reason I enjoy Europe so much is their historical architecture and the care to preserve their history. Hello, Julie! I'm on the other side of Greenville from you, and nice to "meet" you. I'm sorry for hijacking the thread. Thanks again for the photos of beautiful Charleston! Susan...See MoreGooster
