Charleston Food Truck Vintage Camper Trailer

After almost a year of scouring the internet we finally found the PERFECT vintage camper trailer!

While I really loved the look of the vintage Shasta's, Scotty's, Aristocrat's and the list continues - I couldn't find an old canned ham that fit my needs. I also really needed something that was reliable.

RECIPE: Truffle Filet Sandwich & Roasted Tomato caprese Salad

1/13/2015

Because I groove the beat of a different drummer - today's Thanksgiving dinner, or in my case lunch, was brought to you today by Ina Garten of the Barefoot Countessa. So easy peasy to make. Better still the house smells absolutely amazing after slow roasting the tomatoes.

Word of caution though - I had a hard time finding truffle butter in Charleston. One certainly can't find it at the Bi-Lo or Publix. And oddly Whole Foods in Mount Pleasant discontinued carrying truffle butter. Hunh? Fortunately though Williams Sonoma downtown on King Street and every one's favorite Southern Seasons in Mount Pleasant both carry it.

Whew!

Truffled Filet of Beef Sandwiches (Serves 6)
1½ to 2 pounds filet of beef, trimmed and tied
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 French baguettes, 18 to 20 inches long
3 ounces black truffle butter, at room temperature
1 (2-ounce) chunk good Parmesan cheese
Fresh baby arugula

New Favorite Kitchen Tool

12/23/2014

My closet it organized by season, color and type of garment. Same with my shoes and of course my kitchen cabinets.

Then ... there's the labeling. Oh how I love to label things. It's always been with a Sharpie though.

Thing is - Sharpie's are permanent. And well sometimes it's ok to not want to commit to labeling left over flour in a huge container ... forever.

Schmidt Brothers cutlery Knives Review

12/19/2014

I remember several years ago taking one of those goofy personality tests and having to answer the question, "I like knives."

I remember thinking...we'll there's just no way for me to honestly answer that question...of COURSE I like knives...I LOVE to cook. And any chef will tell you - a good knife is probably the best instrument in her tool box.

However, without knowing I love to cook and why I like a good knife - I'm certain the reviewer would have thought I was Charles Mason's child moments away from a rampage and so I answered no - no I in fact do not like knives.
