    In two weeks my family will be flying out to Kiawah Island, SC for a week-long vacation. As the oldest sibling I've been assigned the task of finding restaurants that aren't touristy, bland, "southern-ish" knock-offs. Two years ago when we first visited the resort we had a wonderful dinner at small French Bistro style restaurant called Mia's, which still brings back food memories to this day. I hoping my fellow E-gulleter's will point us in the right the direction and give some amazing picks. :biggrin:

    It's also important that these restaurants are casual & reasonably priced, as there are five people in our family(two of which are teenage girls who probably wouldn't be impressed with restaurants that boast caviar and foie gras on their menu).

    Thanks again

    I am decidedly not a leftover fan.  Once I've planned, fussed over and tasted something all day, I barely want it once, much less twice  :biggrin:!  But these were good:

    Leftovers from Friday night's dinner.  Lamb, feta salsa and crusty bread panini with couscous and roast green beans.  I went and got more bread and roasted red peppers after work today and we are having these again tonight! :laugh:

    BLASPHEMY... :wacko:

    The food gets a chance to marinate and all the flavors become so much more intense

    BTW: Lovely looking lamb sandwich, just mouth watering

    Made gnocchi with a quick ragu (should have simmered longer)...I usually use an egg as a binder but since we didn't have any I used the potato water. It came out nice and fluffy and was quite enjoyable.

    Can you tell that I like sauce? lol

    While I think we can all agree that smoking is a pretty gross habit, I don't particularly care if the chef preparing my food is a smoker. As long as they're not putting out their butts in the bourguignon, i could care less

    hey Mota - since I'm the only person in the universe who doesn't have that book - what is the filling?  It looks really, really good.

    Don't feel too bad, I borrowed it from the library

    The filling contains 1/2 c Lime Juice(key lime if it is available), a 14 oz can of Condensed milk, and 4 egg yolks

    Taken with my "high quality" cameraphone :rolleyes:

    Delicious, but, quite rich...

    This is something that should be made on special occasions only as I'm sure I sent my relatives home with at least 5 extra pounds :biggrin:
