shirley temple

I'm a little embarrassed to say that with all these years of ordering Shirley Temples for my kids, I've never known what exactly goes into one. With The Niece's birthday lunch coming up and my wanting to serve a festive drink, I can now tell you not only what goes into Shirley Temples, but what grenadine is.

The Hubs and I have had a hankering to visit Charleston for ages. We'd heard about all their good eats and were overdue for a just-the-two-of-us vacay. Thanks to Visiting Little Sis watching The Kids, we got to jet away at the end of June. Oh-so-hot, but oh-so-good. (Yes, I've been sitting on this post for awhile!)

Much of the fun of a trip is the research, planning and anticipation, and in our case, there was a lot of it. Where? When? How much? Dinner only? Reservations needed? High priority? 

Let's just say spread sheets were involved.

it's august?!

Holy Cannoli, another month has flown by. Has it whizzed by for you too?
