We just got home from Charleston last night. Unpacking the suitcases, I found that I only picked up a few things for myself.

However, they are far more practical than a cheap t-shirt, or refrigerator magnet..

:D

How many bottles of CT did you finally bring home?

We found one near us in Charleston. And a Harris Teater a few blocks over. There was quite a difference in the food offerings/quality/clientele between the two..

I found those big plastic bottles of CT at a Super WalMart near the Charleston airport. Should have grabbed a few more, but my suitcase weighed in at 45 pounds. That's nearing the danger zone. :o

Our friends carted home 11 of the 18oz glass bottles, and I had 2 of the 28oz jugs in my suitcase.

That should last a while..

The friends that carted the CT home are the same ones that won the $475 meat package at the auction... I told him he'd better like it. :D

I think I'll do a pork butt tonight with a slather of it as a teaser.

Have a good trip Rick.

Enjoy Rick!

We had a blast... The weather was a bit touch and go, but it averaged out to be beautiful. We took in a few plantations, walking tours, and a trip to Patriot's Point between this trip and the last one at Christmas. PM me if you want some more details. (and a few hundred pics)

FYI: piggly wiggly used to be, not sure if it is anymore, owned by Allied Supermkts. Prior to all the large discount store having their own groc dept, Allied Supermkts had a agreement with K-mart across the US to operate an independent groc store but did so under the name of K-mart Foods. I worked for a K-mart Foods while in HS and stayed with them while I attempted to attend college. I kept getting promoted until I become a store manager at the age of 22 at a K-mart Foods in High Point NC.

All right we have a confirmed departure date. Everyone will meet at Pensrock's house on Sunday Morning from there we will move down to FREEPA's House. Make sure you bring extra coolers. I am quite sure he must have 8 or 10 freezers in the place stocked to the limit. We should be able to unload all of the smoked goodness he has been squirreling away in 6-8 hours. Don't feel bad for FREEPA's, his neighbor will probably see us unloading everything and feel sorry for him and fill them all back up before he gets home.
