Pool Noodles in December?
Winter Wonder-Spa
Tis' the season to be jolly and to use your Hot Tub!! Every year I have customers ask about winterizing their spa and I always ask why... I can’t imagine anything better (well, maybe the Cincinnati Bengals winning the super bowl) than a relaxing soak in the almost perfect low country temps we receive in the winter months. Even in much colder climates, there is nothing like enjoying a soak in your spa while snow falls all around you. It's an amazing experience and I hope you get the chance to try it sometime......
Luke's Big Green Egg Thanksgiving
Egg SOS! So I have been bragging to my parents for the past 4 months that I own an XL Big Green Egg and how delicious the food is off the Egg. My parents drove down from CT and were anxiously waiting for me to cook something for them on the Egg. I had high hopes. My best Egg cooking is wings, and I crush those. Wings were unavailable, as I was on a no bird diet until Thanksgiving. So we cooked baked potatoes and a Sirloin Tip Roast. I have to admit, I didn't do it right. I got the Egg to 400 degrees for the potatoes for an early cook, then cooled it down to the 325 degree temperature that the meat recommended. The baked potatoes were awesome, but the roast wasn't fully cooked. I felt embarrassed. Trying to show my parents why the Egg is so awesome, I failed. There is a learning curve to Egg cooking. As an XL Egg owner I am still figuring it out.....

How to Celebrate Thanksgiving Outside
Want to celebrate Thanksgiving outside this year? I have wanted to do this since my first holiday season here in South Carolina. We are so blessed to have glorious weather in November and this is the year for us to feast al fresco. I know most outdoor meals tend to be casual affairs at my home, so I am determined not to lose the specialness of our holiday meal just because it is eaten outside.
I have scoured the web, hoping to get some great ideas to make this year’s Feast of Thanks extra special, and this is what I think will make it a Thanksgiving that will start a new family tradition for us......
Great Tables of Fire!
Sitting around a blazing fire with close friends or family and gazing up at a starry night surrounded by a blanket of darkness is one of those experiences that stir the soul. Considering our species has likely been doing this since the discovery of fire, it must stir something primal inside of us. Thankfully we no longer need to sit on rocks or dirt while we enjoy this environment......Read more
