Understanding the T-Shirt Sentimentality

In the meantime, one a week is the new goal.

We love eating, as you have witnessed, and we have been doing quite a lot of good eating over the past few months that we have not shared with you – much of which we have cooked ourselves! Just this morning, we dined on this for brunch:

Just two weekends ago, we ate this for dinner:

It may have only been a three-day work week for us, but as our first weekend back in Charleston as newlyweds, we felt the need to celebrate. Of course, our celebration is just our style:

Champagne and palmetto cheese, plus a splurge on St. Germaine: some of our favorite life necessities.

Have a wonderful Friday night!
