PI(E) Day

Sunday a week ago, we had Pi(e) Day at church as a fund raiser for the Youth Mission Trip.  We had sweet and savory pies, told pi jokes, sang American Pie(Lutheranized) and of course someone got  Pie In The Face!  We spent about 3 hours in the kitchen on Saturday afternoon, and about 3 more Sunday Morning! The Kids did a great job!

For Entrées we had Chicken Pot Pie and Chili Frito Pie, with sides of Strawberry Pretzel Pie, Tomato Pie, and Collard Pie with Hoppin’ John Crust, but the real stars are the desserts pies:

Key Lime Pie

Berry Pie

Kentucky Derby Pie

Pecan Pie

Peanut-butter Pie
Apple Pies

Chocolate Pie

Chocolate Chip Pie

Sweet Potato Pie

And of course, Moon Pies!

We raised almost a Thousand Dollars!  How cool is that for Pi(e)?

On a slightly different yet related note, Alice and I were unable to partake of all the festivities. We had just about gotten everybody served when Stewart called to say he had been in an accident in Catherine's car. Thankfully, nobody was severely injured, thanks to airbags and intervention by Ultimate Higher Authority.

Cabo's Fresh Tacos

We heard about this place a while back, but didn't get there until today. We were all very sorry we hadn't made there it sooner. It's less than half a block from work, which could be bad.  Today was Five  Dollar Friday.  $5 got you a taco, chips & salsa, and a drink with free refills.  We all got tacos, duh: Chicken, Grilled Shrimp, Fried Shrimp, and Veggie.  The tacos are double wrapped cornmeal tortillas, with a really good slaw in addition to the named filling. All the tacos were good, but the salsa was killer. Lots of roasted goodness in it, with enough heat to make you notice,  but not hurt yourself.  We also split a side of their Cabo Pups, which are hush puppies with Jalapeños, cheese, etc. Good, but not exceptional, and very filling(they're plum sized).  

We didn't get a chance to really study the menu, but we can do that next week, because beside the salsa, the really cool part is that they mark your receipt.  If you come back within 7 days,  you get 20% off. Not a bad trick, huh?  Cabo's is only open for lunch, sadly. 

I'm back!

Sorry it's been a while.  We had illnesses and surgeries of various sorts over the last month, but things are more better now! Lots of stuff to talk about and hopefully I'll catch up over the next couple of weeks.  

Spring Break started for the Chaps last Friday, so we were all at Surfside for a long weekend. Catherine's roomie, Anthea, had to go back to Charleston yeasterday, so as we drove down Highway 17 we stopped in Beautiful Scenic Awendaw for lunch at the SeeWee Cafe

My dad found out about this place when he was volunteering at the United Methodist Retreat center just down the road. His crew would come for breakfast and/or lunch. Excellent Salads, Fish, Scallops, Veggie Plates, and FREE HUSH PUPPIES! The Fried Green Tomatoes and Butter Peas were good, but the Collards and Red Rice stole the show!  The Collards were almost creamy, while the Red Rice had bits of smoked sausage that gave up a wonderful flavor.  Very Very Nice!
