A Lowcountry Tasting --
Hi Annie,
Greetings from one of your newest fans! Just want to let you know that Jenny and I really enjoyed your wonderful presentation at the Thomas Elfe House yesterday! Everything about it was great - I think you have something with "A Lowcountry Tasting" that is going to just grow and grow and become one of The Places to Go in Charleston!!!
I enjoyed every bite of food you shared, especially the pimento cheese with bacon. I'm happy that I learned about Mrs. Sussar's fine "accompaniments" (and I plan to take some jars back as gifts, when I go to Seattle next weekend!) I loved the tea, too, which is amazing because normally I do not enjoy tea at all. Would you please tell me what kind it was? I bought some Bigelow Red Raspberry herbal tea last night, but I wonder if what you made is from the Charleston Tea Plantation and labeled differently? Please let me know....I am now a big fan of that tea, too!
It was great to meet you Annie!
Best regards,
Faith
