Well, the much-anticipated 21st birthday of the beautiful Mimi is passed. We started off a little shaky, working until 12 turned into1 turned into working until 4 (which left a swearing-like-a-sailor Heather Jo sitting on the couch bitching about the pointlessness of planning) but never fail! After I calmed the heck down, I reorganized, quite literally re-did my itinerary (yes... I had an itinerary... I would be ashamed, but on the whole it worked out :) ) and pulled it off!
First stop was Easley winery.
http://www.easleywinery.com/. Strongly recommend it. We had a very informative, but quite interesting tour of the winery and then tasted 14 wines between the two of us (on the cheap I might add... tour was free and it was only $3/person to sample 7 wines each!) And then we came back to the apartment to pretty up for dinner and off to....
Again-- first note: highly recommend it. We ate all sorts of wonderful food, and more food.... and more food... we both had drinks and we got out of there in under $55 (tip included). In fact, our favorite menu item, Queso de Cabra al Horno-- essentially baked goat cheese with spicy marinara sauce, with cute garlic breads to dip in it-- was so good we did our best to replicate it at home tonight. I must say, I think we succeeded for the most part! Our little garlic breads looked different, but they were still good. I don't have a pic of ours, but here's what we ate last night:
So good. After that, we headed back to the apartment for some champagne :). It was a simple night, but a beautiful one, I think. It isn't everything I planned, and probably a good lesson in the pointlessness of overplanning.... but what're you gonna do. We toasted her 21st with love and bubbly. Doesn't get much better than that.
