Roadtrip: Summerville

Lady Di and I traveled about 45 minutes Northeast of the Boro to the growing hamlet of Summerville. Walterboro has its annual Rice Festival; Summerville, a/k/a Flowertown, has the Azalea Festival. Summerville is a mish-mash of old and new. There are plenty of chain restaurants and stores, and newish subdivisions with nice houses at relatively cheap prices for people who want to live near Charleston without paying Charleston prices. There are also old-time Dorchester County politics and lots of ramshackle areas that need a good scrubbing. We were headed to one of the chain stores, Lowe's, to hunt a new convection oven for Lady Di.

Summerville and Lowe's are both excellent places to hunt "Bubbas". Look! There's one now.

We talked with Xavier. Xavier gave us a good price on a convection oven and matching microwave set. 'Course, they couldn't deliver it to Diane until Saturday.

There's the oven.
We checked out Carol, as she checked us out. Diane can't wait until Saturday.

Hey, micro and oven. You guys are cooking with Crisco! (er, or sunflower oil, or canola, or really anything but Crisco!)

I think it's some sorta free-range olive oil or sumpin.

Hi Andy,
We'll cook up something healthy for you when you are here in March. Gotta figure it out first...

I'll have the Woodman in tow too. He'll eat anything, but we gotta have some carbs and protein on Thursday.
