Dinner with a view

View from Shem Creek boardwalk, Mt. Pleasant, S.C.
I am on a Salmon Caesar Salad kick and just like my Thai Curry streak last year, I've been eating it in every restaurant that offers it on the menu and some that will put it together for me. Nice having a craving that consists of healthy food! One thing that nudged Vickery's Bar & Grill salad to the top of the list is the waterfront views that come with it. Last night was a perfect lowcountry summer evening. It was warm but the humidity level was low enough to make for a pleasant outside dining experience.

I anticipate an exciting afternoon on my property today as I have tree trimmers coming to prune my trees and remove a large dying tree on my neighbors property. Woohoo! Hope all goes well.

Oh, you wild and crazy girl! Trimming trees on a day off....how deliciously rebellious. :)

It is a big deal! Wish me luck. I have a very shady property and the actual tree coming down is on my neighbors property leaning over my house.

That boardwalk view looks like a place I'd enjoy.

I remember kayaking in Shem Creek, but there were no meals there. Love your photos!

And I share your appreciation for the tree pruning and removal. In a few hours, it will all look different and better.

Your salad looks delicious! Have you watched that new show "Reckless?" They just showed a scene taking place in a restaurant on Shem Creek. I haven't made up my mind about the show yet, but I love all the Charleston scenery and references!

It is one of the most picturesque places. I love seeing the shrimp boats.

Charlestonjoan said...

There are popular restaurants on either side of the creek. People like to pull their boats up and go in for dinner.

It was delicious!

I watched it. It is pretty tacky but you are right...the scenery is beautiful. I can't imaging that it will be renewed but I'll watch it just to see where they filmed.

Oh... isn't dinner in view of the water just so much more delicious? I can taste that salad now... pass the wine!
