drayton hall
homes and habitats
i recently made my third visit to drayton hall plantation near charleston, sc. you really can’t visit enough, because it blows your mind every time. besides the fact of its’ natural beauty, there’s the fact that the last descendant to own it decreed in her will that drayton hall should never be modernized with plumbing or electricity. thus, the beauty of the natural light there. drayton hall is preserved, not restored, so it wears its’ age gracefully, through 250 years of hurricanes, wars, earthquakes, and tornadoes, for all to admire.
farmburger
garden to table
our friends at farm 255 are always up to something new. this spring they opened up a new restaurant called farmburger in decatur, GA. with a similar concept as farm 255, they are serving up farm raised burgers (from their own farm) with toppings fresh from local farms.
we ordered a sampling from their menu. to start we had homemade pickles and boiled peanuts.
for our entree we ordered a no 1 burger and a quinoa veggie burger topped with some fresh arugula, heirloom tomatoes, farmburger sauce… and some pickled jalapenos on the side. delicious! we also ordered some farmburger fries which are tossed in parmesan cheese, garlic, and herbs…YUM!
fresh food just tastes better!
