Project 365: Day 95

Went for another morning workout this Easter Sunday morning. It sucks to be away from San Francisco on a major holiday but I gotta do it for work. I’m gonna treat myself to a tourist/beach day. I plan on driving to Sullivan’s Island and grab lunch at Poe’s Tavern. Then I’ll look around Fort Moultrie before heading back to downtown Charleston to grab an early dinner at Anson Restaurant. I’ve been craving their delicious she crab soup that I had last time I was in Charleston. Mmm, can’t wait!

Ew, this was kinda gross! The chicken was overcooked and the lemon sauce had a really bad chemical aftertaste. I don’t know how they make the sauce, but I doubt it’s made from all natural ingredients.

Project 365: Day 94

Went to the gym with my co-instructor this morning. It was nice to get a good workout in before heading out to downtown Charleston for some real food. I’ve decided that I want to hit Magnolias for a late lunch. I went there last time I was in Charleston so I know that the food and service are good. For dinner, I want to hit The Bar at Husk. The restaurant was recommended by a friend, but they had no availability and I don’t really mind eating at the bar especially when I’m dining by myself.

This was a little spicier than the XLB Kitchen version, but definitely not near as spicy as the Mission Chinese Food version. MCF has forever ruined my taste for non-spicy versions of ma po tofu. Ugh!
