Do you ever have those days where you just feel kind of...bleh? Today is one of those days. I'm hoping with a little sleep and Nyquil, I'll be up to no good in no time! In the meantime, let me tell you a little bit about the lunch my sister and I had yesterday. Oh and don't worry, I'm back at the beach, so no worries about my wee little Grady getting any of my blehs.
There's a little bakery just down the street from my sister called Sweet Cake House. For you Columbia folks, it's on St. Andrews Road. We'd noticed it before but never stopped in. She grabbed us lunch yesterday on her way back to the house, and it was delightful.
We each had a more-than-generous portion of chicken pot pie. It was a double crust pie, which I love, and was yummy to boot! Each lunch came with a side salad and a petit four. The pasta salad (bottom) was creamy with a nice injection of onion, and the potato salad (top) had the consistency of chunky mashed potatoes while tasting like the potato salad you expect. We split the petit fours, tiramisu and carrot cake. Usually I'm not a tiramisu fan (I know, there's something very wrong with me), but I loved the little bite of it. The carrot cake was cream cheese-y and sweet. A nice cap to the meal. The best part is that each of the meals was less than $6, which is kind of a bargain considering how much food we ate.
I've been seriously contemplating my Christmas/holiday treats. I have major plans for cookies, cakes, and even marshmallows! I'm so excited about the marshmallows, y'all. I've never made them before, but they're not
that complicated...I think. I even have plans for...wait for it...apple bourbon! The kitchen is about to be a magical land of powdered sugar and smiles.
