Bored and sitting at home, I decided that we should go out and explore Charleston. We googled “cool things to do in Charleston” and set out to Charles Towne Landing.
When I think of July 4th, one of the first things that pops into my mind is good ol’ apple pie. The epitome of American cuisine, along with its equally famous cousin the hot dog, apple pie is near and dear to my heart. So how does this dish transition into the fall and winter? By becoming apple crisp, of course! A crisp is a baked fruit dessert topped with crunchy layer of deliciousness and baked until the topping is a golden brown.
I found that this recipe can feed at least six people, maybe more if portion size was smaller. Note of warning: this recipe is not the healthy in the least bit; I could almost feel my arteries clogging with all of the butter and sugar I used. However, as Parks and Recreation taught us, it’s always a good idea to “treat yo’self” from time to time!
Last week dad and I went to the local cinema to see Birdman. It’s not a new release and it’s darker than most films I usually watch, but I would definitely recommend renting it.
Afterward we headed out next door to the Mexican restaurant, Zia Taqueria. The best way I can think to describe the atmosphere of the restaurant is hipster cool with amazing tasting food. There are locations in the Charleston area, as well as in Asheville, North Carolina.
Can y’all believe that there’s only four more days until Christmas?! I’ve gotten all of my shopping done and now all I have to do is wrap and put the gifts under the tree. It hasn’t been cold enough down here but it snowed yesterday in Winston-Salem, so I can only imagine what the rest of winter has in store for us when school starts again!
Sorry that I haven’t been as active this week, exams really got the best of me! But now I’m back at home for the next month and I don’t have to worry about school or tests or anything other than how I’m going to spend my day (which has so far consisted of me sleeping in far too late). So, without further ado, here are my top five moments from hell finals week!
