mojito challenge, friend farewell, garden update

Last night, Britton and I joined some friends at Columbia's "Bacardi Mojito Challenge" benefiting the Special Olympics of South Carolina. Eleven restaurants participated, allowing attendants to sample a mojito and vote for their favorite.

This was also Alicia's last night out as a resident of SC, so it served as a nice send off. This morning she left for Chicago, moving back to her home state. (Me, Erin, Alicia, Jennifer)

What's happening in my
garden these days...
my tomatoes are finally
turning red and my
jalapeños are multiplying!
