Brush With Fame

I completely forgot to mention this earlier in the week. Army Wives was filming on our street all last weekend. I know the show regularly tapes here in Charleston but I've never had any run-ins with the cast or shootings. Of course, Cooper and I took a few leisurely strolls around the block to check everything out. To be honest though, I don't think I'd know or recognize any of the actors. It was cool to see all of the cameras, crew, wardrobe, etc, etc.

Anyone watch Army Wives? Am I missing out?

Tonight, Mark and I are going to dinner at CPH in Mt. Pleasant.

I've been on a big burger and fries kick lately. If you're local (or just visiting!) and haven't been here, GO! Their burgers are delicious and truffle fries are amazing. I've also heard they have a great selection of beers on tap (I'm not really an expert).

I've also been dying for a treat from Cupcake. Now, I'm no brew expert but Cupcakes, I know. I've had them from bakeries and shops all around town and this is hands-down my favorite place. The hardest part? Choosing just one!

We had these at our our wedding in lieu of a traditional cake and they were a huge hit. According to their website, Red Velvet is the best seller (no surprise there!).

I am really looking forward to having an entire weekend free to check some items off of our to-do list and just relaxing!

And lastly, nerd alert: Breaking Dawn comes out on DVD at midnight.

Weekend Eats!

So, this weekend I tried not one but two new restaurants! This is HUGE for me. I am very much a creature of habit- hello, Taco Boy!- and rarely veer off the beaten path. Being that I had to work all day Saturday, I decided to lay off the margs and give Coleman Public House a try on Friday night.

(Sorry for the non-appetizing pic. I clearly was too engrossed in my meal and remembered half way in to snap a photo)

The food (and drink) were amazing! I ordered the Barnyard Burger with Truffle & Parmesan fries and Mark had the Pimiento Cheese Burger with Garlic Fries. Wowza. Everything we ordered was so delicious! The portion of fries was huge! Somehow we managed to finish every last bite between the two of us.

After that dinner you'd think we'd be stuffed, right? Not exactly. I'm somewhat of a bottomless pit and am always down for dessert. Always. So, we went home and whipped up 2 hot fudge brownie sundaes. Mmmm :)

Since Saturday was rainy and gross, we (I) decided not to get dressed up and venture out. We dialed up our neighborhood pizzeria, Zappo's (located on wayyy upper King), and ordered Buffalo Chicken and Supreme pizzas. This place never disappoints! So many toppings with so much flavor! This is by far my favorite pizza in Charleston.

And today, we tried Mozzo in Mt. P for lunch. Apparently, it quite popular because the place was packed!

I had the Chicken Caprese (chicken, pesto, sun dried tomatoes) and Mark had The Godfather (LOTS of Italian meats). The sandwich selection was HUGE. So, of course I had a hard time deciding. We picked up 2 bags of kettle chips and a peach lemonade and had ourselves a nice little lunch. We will definitely be going back, as there were many more options to explore.

Are you hungry yet?
