Friday night is Steak Night at our house. We love to invite our closest friends over for a casual evening and then fire up the grill! A juicy tenderloin steak served with baby new potatoes and a fresh green salad is a delicious way to start the weekend!
Who needs an excuse to have a party? Those of you who know me, know that I'll make up a reason to celebrate something, even when there's no real occasion. In this case, I think a little party to commemorate a milestone for me – and for Lowcountry Weekly – is in perfect order.
