Frogmore Stew Dinner

Frogmore Stew Dinner
Sat, Apr 24, 2010, 6:00 - 9:00 pm

What in the world is Frogmore Stew?
Don’t worry - no frogs died in the making of this dish; in fact, there no frogs were involved at all. Frogmore was a small town on St. Helena Island near Beaufort, South Carolina. Although the town no longer exists, the name “Frogmore” lives on as a classic South Carolina seafood boil. Join us for a good old-fashioned boiled seafood dinner featuring shrimp, crab, sausage, potatoes, corn on the cob.

Cost: $28.99/person (includes dinner & dessert - tax & tip extra)

• Spend one night & we'll comp one guest's dinner (based on double occupancy)
  
• Spend two nights & we'll comp dinner for two (based on double occupancy)
  

The beautiful Spring weather is making us daydream about all that lies ahead! Memorial Day, summer picnics, 4th of July and the list goes on & on. Join us for the Frogmore Stew Dinner on Sat, April 24th  for a good old-fashioned seafood boil reminiscent of the best summer picnic.

Signs of spring are all around. This morning our westie, Tallie, and I experienced a first. We were able to walk in the yard! Soon the spring bulbs will start pushing through - a sure sign of  Springtime! Take advantage of the great weather & venture out to Findley Lake this weekend!

Cheers!

Dare I Declare "Sweet Victory"!

Unless the forces more powerful than me decide to mix things up I hereby declare my Blog-to-Facebook link a success! Or do I dare? Should I just quietly revel in the fact I'm no longer sending FB fans duplicate messages? Okay, I'll play it close to the vest. I am merely pleased that there seems to be a truce between Blogger, Networked Blogs and FaceBook. Now I can spend my time writing about more interesting topics, woo hoo (shhhhhh!)

Cheers,
Tobi

Is That Success I See?

It's been 11 hours since the last Blog post. And no duplicate follow-up note appeared. I am cautiously optimistic - it's 'possible' I found the fix. I'll keep my eye on it & report back tomorrow.

Oh, by the way, I know I misspelled "success" in the title of my last post. Evidently Blogger provides spelling assistance in the body of the blog but not in the title. Now that I know I'll be more careful. It's not life and death but I hate to publish anything with a spelling error.

Cheers,
Tobi
