The first objective had been met.
Now, to satisfy the second objective.
That would require visits to two of my favorite restaurants.
Brunch (was actually lunch) was served at Sisters of The New South, home of the best fried chicken in town! White meat, dark meat, it just doesn't matter - both are incredibly moist and delicious! I really like the lima beans, the yellow rice, the sweet potatoes, and the green beans, too. And moist cornbread that doubles as a dessert! Paul and Cathy concurred with my assessment, after we had verified that no pork was used in the cooking of the foods. Most excellent!
What to do next on this drizzly day?
Why not venture back toward Tybee and stop off at the Fish Art Gallerie? It had caught Cathy's attention, so we had to see what lure it held.
Okay, okay, enough with the puns!
(smile)
Actually, it had some very nice fish magnets, so I got those. They spent quite a while perusing the wares, exploring each area of the store cum gallery. Paul had a very nice conversation with the artist-owner, Ralph Douglas Jones, and recommended he venture to the west coast for an art festival that was sure to find a bustling market for his works.
We then bounced over to next store, for more exploration, but Cathy did not find anything that warranted a place in her luggage. Oh, well!
Then I snapped the above photo of two sweetie pies!
No, make that three!
Back toward town, where we were greeted by drizzly rain.
We then spent a very unsuccessful couple of hours going around two pharmacies here, to try to obtain an extension of Cathy's blend of insulin. Sadly, we went home empty-handed, to await a phone call, should her insurance company ever follow through.
Enough of these gray skies!
We needed some blue sky in our lives!!!
With that, we went to Sweet Potatoes for an early dinner. Fabulous bright colors on the walls! Beautiful paintings with blue sky and golden flowers! Excellent variety of vegetables and tasty meats!
We all definitely needed that. Especially those baked sweet potatoes for dessert - oh, yeah! This is definitely my favorite place to chase away the gray skies!
After a very leisurely dinner, it was time to go talk to some folks. So, off to Foxy Loxy for the Philo Cafe discussions! The topic, elected by last week's attendees, was from my former college chemistry professor, Cedric Stratton. "Is Time Money?" was the query. Quite a lively discourse followed, with almost everyone contributing their thoughts, including Paul and Cathy. Good to share that time with them!
Afterward, we were asked if we would be retiring to Chili's for chips and chatting. No, thank you. Paul said they were jealous of my time with them and preferred to go back to my house.
Wasn't that such a nice thing for him to say?
So, that's exactly what we did!
We settled in to watch a little television before bedtime. But what to watch in the 10 PM time slot? Let's try some "Castle", shall we? But that was not to be. The episode was Part 2 of a missed Part 1 and was extraordinarily violent (for that show).
What's on GPB? Good question... oh, my, 'tis "The Great British Baking Show"! With chefs vying for title of "Best Amateur Baker", while making different items each week for ten weeks! And we had managed to catch the very first episode!
What perfect timing!
It was such an entertaining show, too. So many different cakes that they were tasked to make! Some were lovely creations. Some were absolute train wrecks. All sounded quite tasty.
I just may have to tune in again next week.
Seriously.
Okay, time for bed, y'all!
We have one more day tomorrow... sleep well!
