the joy of simple comforts & satisfying meals – sprinkled with a taste of lowcountry style
The Lowcountry Boil (or by another name, Frogmore Stew) is a signature dish and favorite Lowcountry meal that is best shared with good friends. Made of simple ingredients this “stew” marries together the fruit of the sea (shrimp), farm provisions (sausage) and vegetables (corn and potatoes).

I have always enjoyed a good read. I have a preference for the non-commercial brand of books. These are the books with the matte, not glossy book covers, often stacked on tables rather than being placed on shelves labelled with best seller ratings.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with good friends partaking in a holiday jaunt to Savannah. (Felicity note: I live in Beaufort County which is centrally located between Charleston and Savannah and depending where you reside it can take as little as thirty minutes and at most an hour to make […]
