The Obstinate Daughter

Little leaves me speechless, but this Blondie Bloody Mary is the reason you'll find me in Sullivan's Island for brunch every weekend! 

This is the most fresh, delicious drink that has ever touched your lips!  Fresh, yellow tomatoes and hot-pickled okra, I promise you can't stop at one!  

 I love the cozy boathouse atmosphere at The Obstinate Daughter.

This was The Obstinate Daughter's inaugural Saturday brunch.  Both of our mothers traveled from afar to see us and we couldn't have been happier.  What a great place to enjoy each other's company.

The drinks kept flowing and funny story after funny story was told.  I haven't laughed so hard in a while.

Pizzas and Eggs Benedict with tomato hollandaise arrived.  (I love the idea of tomato hollandaise)

These smashed, fried potatoes were incredible.

Brunch at Sullivan's Island wouldn't be complete without a walk on the beach.

We'll see you next weekend with a Blondie Bloody in hand!  I dreamt of this Bloody Mary last night. I can't wait until Saturday!

Food and Picnic Sunday

 Mark is waiting so patiently as I finish getting ready.

It was early and we were hungry.  We called around but many restaurants weren't opening until 11 AM.

Husk was open!  So that made for an easy choice.

Look at the wood fired funnel cake above.  This is what I had my eye on.

Bloody Mary's to start.

Mark really enjoys Husk's shrimp n' grits.  They are so good here that it is difficult to order anything else.

I wasn't afraid though.  Funnel cake with fried chicken, a pouched egg, some prosciutto, and hollandaise sauce, yes please!

After brunch we took a golf cart stroll around town with our pup, Emma.

We met up with friends at Chez Nous for a drink and some creme fraiche. (a sort of yogurt served with granola and fruit compote)

The only way to finish off our afternoon was to grab some picnic gear and enjoy the sunshine in the park.

On the way to our picnic we stopped at Caviar and Bananas and the next door yogurt shop, Fresh Berry.

The next stop was the Battery or White Point Garden. ( the southern tip of the peninsula )

Caviar and Bananas has an amazing selection of wine, beer, and goodies to take on picnics. 

This is a peach bellini with 25% peach juice.  It tastes like it's homemade.

We relaxed here for hours and played a little croquet.  Emma ran around with other pups in the park.

I love a good lazy day Sunday!
