We finally moved out of the house and headed into Charleston and found our way to Hominy Grill, north of Broad. It was a long wait to get a table, but they had an amazing menu and everything was super. I had red rice, field peas with snaps and duck sausage, green beans, tomato and okra and cornbread. I wanted the shrimp bog, because it looked really good, but the desire to take advantage of their long list of vegetables compelled me to order a vegetable plate. I tasted Cindy's shrimp and grits and they were good also. I also tasted Kate's liver pudding, which was amazing.
Afterward, we drove into the market area downtown and did some shopping and I didn't find a watch band for my watch, but did find a hat which Cindy was kind enough to buy me for Christmas. When it got dark, we headed on a tour of downtown Charleston and saw the sunset over Charleston Bay, looking over across the Ashley River to the areas south of Charleston. It was orange and pink and beautiful for the end of the day. After driving around the neighborhoods south of Broad Street, we headed back to Folly and I made shrimp and grits on Paula Dean's recipe and Kate made really excellent pralines. We had a nice meal and now I am thinking about the day and trying to figure out how I will end it without doing any more damage to my waistline.
Tomorrow is another day on the coast of South Carolina. Then home on Sunday. It has been fun.
