In my family we are big fans of South Carolina, especially the Charleston area.
The salty beach air, rich history, and friendly locals are all big draws, of course, but what really keeps me coming back to Lowcountry is the cuisine. How can one resist a place where there are pralines on every corner, and where all the restaurant menus offer up fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, and some of the freshest seafood you’ve ever had?

I love steak. Like, really love it. A four ounce cut of tenderloin grilled mediumare makes me all tingly.
But no restaurant serves a four ounce steak. They serve eight or ten or twelve ounce steaks. In spite of my very best efforts, I just can’t eat that much animal in one sitting. “Take it home!” Hubba Bubba always insists. So I do.

For as long as I can remember, my dad has raved about an Apricot Nectar Cake his Aunt Jean used to make for him. So when he and my stepmom, Lori, visited us in California over Father’s Day weekend, I thought I’d surprise him with his favorite cake.

Did you know that Seester and I are Brady-maniacs? We have seen every episode of the Brady Bunch at least 100 times and can tell you which episode it is within the first ten seconds of the show.
Literally, it’s like, you see Bobby walking across the astroturf lawn, and we’re like, “It’s the one where Marcia wants to go out with Doug-Simpson-Big-Man-On-Campus but then the football hits her nose!”
