"wandering is one of my favorite things to do"

FOOD TRAVEL 101( for me)
On Sunday I had the opportunity to do some "wandering around" with my husband.
We had a Sunday off together, which is VERY unusual since he is the Pastor of a church, and we decided to go exploring. As we surfed the web for a location close to our home but still far enough away, we discovered Anderson, South Carolina. A "quaint historic downtown area" was all I needed to know! We headed off and found Anderson to be only an hour away from us. Why hadn't we ever gone exploring before, I asked myself. This beautiful little downtown, full of delicious restaurants is only 1 hour away from me!
In our wanderings we fell upon J. Peters Grill which was situated right in the center of the downtown area. We enjoyed one of the most delectable hamburgers my mouth has ever tasted. (see picture below) So my goal for the last half of this year is to wander and explore a few more things that are far, but not too far way from my cozy little town.

my first remarkable food moment

I have always been a curious learner when it comes to food! My earliest and fondest memory of "food curiosity" came at 9 years of age while visiting my GRANDma in North Carolina. I asked her if we could bake a pie...imagine my surprise when we didn't just pop it out of a box and bake! We jumped into the car and were off to Aunt Mildred's for a DAY of pie adventure. After picking apples, ladder and all, peeling for what seemed to be an eternity, making a home-made pie crust and baking, I then enjoyed the most delectable treat imaginable. I was HOOKED!
Thus my journey began..... remarkable moments happen when you create them with those most dear to you!
