Biscuits

 Who knew how light and flaky and buttery, and not like flour bricks, they could be?

Another Fabulous Dinner - The Ordinary

This meal was anything but ordinary.  My god.  It was exquisite!  There aren't enough superlatives to describe this one The Ordinary.  Our server Teddy seemed to be having a stressful night.  I think a few things went wrong at the table next to us, so he was very frazzled.  But our service was about as outstanding as you can get.  ❤️

Here's what was on the menu:

  • Dozen Steamboat Creeks 
  • Smoked Fish Pâté
  • Yellowfin Tuna & Carolina Gold Rice
  • Oeufs Tonnato
  • New England Style Fish Chowder
  • Cornmeal Fried Tarvin White Shrimp
  • Crispy Oyster Sliders
  • Chocolate-Hazelnut Budino
  • Carolina Gold Rice Pudding

After almost 18,000 steps today, don't judge us.

Ferocious

Their ferocity was completely antithetical to their size.



Charleston BBQ

Since tonight is another seafood extravaganza, we opted for BBQ for lunch.  This place was terrific!  My salad was amazing, and it was nice to have some vegetables.  The pulled pork sammie was nothing to sneeze at either.  Oink.




The Battery

After our carriage ride and breakfast, we took a long walk down to The Battery.  We went by the Pineapple Fountain, walked the waterfront and went through a park, and looked at the ridiculously huge mansions.  

The weather today was an 11.  Bright blue sky and sun, about 65 degrees.  We couldn't ask for a better day, and I think we will have this weather tomorrow too. 





















Back to Handy & Hot

OMG this place is great.  Bacon, pimento, and egg biscuit below.   Amazing.  Chris had sausage, biscuit, and gravy.  That was pretty goddamn good too.



Carriage Ride

So I'm torn about this carriage ride.  I'm not sure that Dynamite, who was a lovely horse, has the best life.  I'm guessing that if she had her way, she'd be in a pasture somewhere, not hauling tourists around.   

The little tour was an hour and did show off some of the architecture, but I still have mixed feelings about it and how happy her life is.
