Pane E Vino and Proof

 Pane E Vino is a hidden gem around the corner from Upper King Street.  You must have heard about the restaurant or run into it by accident because of it's location.  At night the courtyard is beautifully lit by white string lights and candlelight.  


Cheers!



B..B...B....Burrata!   Oh, this was so delicious!  Burrata is a "cheese ball" of mozzarella filled with cream.  Pane E Vino dressed this "cheese ball" with arugula and a balsamic glaze.  I couldn't put my fork down.  





  Gone!


In cooler weather the patio is tented with heating lamps.  


COTOLETTA  ALLA MILANESE
Free range chicken breast, pounded and breaded, crispy cooked and served with garlic mashed potatoes



RAVIOLI ALLA CASALINGA
Homemade Spinach/Ricotta ravioli, served in a light smoked prosciutto "Speck" and asparagus cream sauce






Oh Limoncello!











After Pane E Vino we headed to a wine bar around the coroner, Proof, for an after dinner drink.  Check  Proof out here.

Bowling for Halloween

I had a fishy good time at Sparians Bowling Alley in Mount Pleasant for Halloween.  This make-up is the result of a few ideas I found online:  Click on the picture to watch.




This is my version of a fish.  



You can use eyelash adhesive to place sequins above and below the eye.


Look, how fun are these glow in the dark lashes?  These were sold at Halloween Express.




This costume was a last minute ordeal so a fish was hard to come by.  I guess a tutu and a couple of fins with some great fishy makeup is good enough.





Okay, so why am I a fish?  Our bowling team dressed up as the bars of Charleston.  

Kate was Torch
Caitlin was Mynt
Kelcy was Blind Tiger
Kinsley was Stars
Alexa was Prohibition
I was Fish








Here are the other teams:

Bridesmaids 



Frat Boys


Our Professors



Candy Crush


The Rugrats : 1st Prize Costume Winners 




What Does the Fox Say?



Duck Dynasty



4th Year Dental Students Posing as 1st Years







It was tough for Torch to get comfortable for the ride home.
