Sweet Sweet Tea

This week we apparently celebrated National Iced Tea Day and National Seersucker Day. It seems we're on a roll with the fun southern holidays. I'm guessing National Fried Chicken Day isn't too far off.

If there's one thing I love, it's sweet tea. I've been known to sit on the porch and drink a whole gallon throughout a weekend. Whether you dress it up with a sprig of mint, a slice of lemon, or a splash of bourbon—it's delicious all day long.

True sweet tea is made with tea, sugar, and water. Don't let anyone tell you to add baking soda; that is a myth that is pointless and silly. If you want to brew your batch with local tea, use Charleston Tea Planation American Classic Tea from Wadmalaw Island. It's simply the best.

A Long Sunday Drive

Even with high gas prices, some days are just right for a long Sunday drive. Every so often we like to pack a cooler and hit the road. This photo was taken last Sunday when we headed out to the country on Wadmalaw Island. Right after we passed this sign we came up on a seafood market and some dogs sleeping in the middle of the road. It feels good to know that the folks down here are still taking things pretty slow. Where do you like to go exploring?
