We had a great day of fun in Charleston. Bob golfed 18 holes. He didn’t see any alligators but did see a
huge wild turkey on the course. Donna and I went to Hominy Grill and the Charleston
Tea Plantation. The food at the restaurant, one of Amanda’s favorites, was
absolutely tremendous. The restaurant
serves boiled peanuts to all tables.
Donna had never eaten them and remarked that if given one without
knowing what it was, she would never guess it was a peanut. If you have never had them, they taste a bit
like potatoes. I had grilled, chilled Spanish
mackerel, with
goat cheese & sesame water crackers and pecan pie. I can eat all this
because we are bicycling 50 miles tomorrow!
Donna had she-crab soup, a big ole biscuit and delectable chocolate
coconut cake. Then we set off to the
only working tea farm in North America.
The grounds were beautiful and the tour was educational. We learned that oolong, black tea and green
tea are processed differently, but from the same plant, camellia sinensis.
