A Day
with Romance
As Valentine’s day once again approaches, cupid sits sharpening his arrows and our neighborhood stores fill their aisles with chocolates, perfumes, roses and other possible expressions of our affection, we ponder about what we should do for our special someone on this the most romantic of all days. A quiet picnic at Hunting Island State Park Beach is always a nice idea (it might be a little chilly but a warm hug should fix that!). You can’t miss with dinner at one of Beaufort’s quaint restaurants. Beaufort is blessed with a wonderful selection of places to dine. Check the restaurant listings in this magazine for some suggestions. The Chocolate Tree and Bitty’s Florist are excellent sources for the traditional flowers and candy. Or try your hand at some original poetry, strategically left for the object of your affection to find. Whip up a batch of heart-shaped pancakes for a surprise breakfast. Be creative! Even though we associate this day with romance, it is also a wonderful time to let all those other significant people in our lives know how much they mean to us. With just a card or a phone call, we can brighten someone’s day by reminding them that they hold a special place in our hearts. A visit to an elderly relative or friend gives more pleasure than any gift. So, whatever your plans are, may Valentine’s Day bring you and your family all of the love and happiness associated with this day. Just remember, “Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” Elizabeth Browning.

Historically Speaking
GREENE S TREET A IN’T GREEN ! ! ! By Gerhard Spieler
The town takes pride in its unique natural environment and its accessibility to that environment through its network of walking trails, community beach, boardwalk, and observation tower. Since Columbus discovered America in 1492, seven flags have flown over what is now the Town of Port Royal.
Union Church The Union Church, also known as, “The Free Church” was the first church to be built in the historic town of Port Royal. The land was donated by David F. Appleton and in 1878 cost around $1000 to build. It is currently eligible for recognition in the National Register of Historic Places and is being renovated jointly by both the Town of Port Royal and the Historic Port Royal Foundation. These two groups plan to use the renovated building as a cultural and community center.
Boardwalk Observation Tower At Port Royal Sands Beach you will find a waterside boardwalk leading to an observation tower. This tower provides fantastic views of Port Royal, Parris Island and the surrounding area. For tourists, this is a must see, is free to access and open year-round.
In the city of Beaufort, the streets running south to north from Bay Street are Port Republic (which once was named Port Royal) then Craven, North, King, Prince, Duke, Washington, Greene, Congress and ending with Boundary Street. One could almost say that they relate some segment of the 300 year history of the town of Beaufort. Not too many years in the recent past, many of the street maps of Beaufort printed Greene Street as Green, without the final “e.” For years, even the metal street signed were printed “Green.” The same spelling is often found in local area maps and newspapers. In The Beaufort Gazette. of August 26, 1975 in Gerhard Spieler’s weekly column “Lowcountry Comments,” was the closing item “Greene Street It is.” I quote: “Beaufort’s Department of Streets, some time last week, changed all of the street signs formerly reading Green Street to new ones reading “Greene” Street. This was in line with the recommendation of City Council, suggested by D. DeSaussure Edmunds.” The street was originally named for General Nathanael Greene, of the Continental Army, commanding all Revolutionary troops, in South Carolina (State and Continental), in the last few years of the American Revolution (1775-1783). Examination of the named street signs, from Port Republic Street to Boundary Street will show that the street names are directly connected with Beaufort’s history over the last three hundred years.

Strawberries & Chocolate
Chocolate Strawberry Trifle 18 oz. pkg. yellow cake mix 1 cup water 1/3 cup oil 3 eggs 6 serving size chocolate pudding mix (NOT instant)
3 cups milk 4 cups sliced strawberries 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 tsp. vanilla 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
DIRECTIONS: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. In large bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil and eggs and beat until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed and pour batter into prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and cake begins to come away from sides of pan. Cool completely. In heavy saucepan combine pudding mix and milk and stir with wire whisk until combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. In small bowl, combine cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Cut cake into 1-inch pieces and place half in bottom of a large glass bowl. Pour half the cooled pudding over the cake pieces and place half of the strawberries on top. Repeat layers. Top with whipped cream. Chill for 2 hours before serving and store any leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries 12 large fresh strawberries with stems
6 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Chocolate Strawberry Meringue 3 egg whites 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds, toasted
Filling 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup baking cocoa 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon kirsch 1 cup heavy whipping cream 3 cups whole fresh strawberries 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
DIRECTIONS: Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Trace a 9-in. circle on paper. Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Fold in almonds. Spoon meringue evenly over circle, forming a 1-1/4-inch rim. Bake at 300째 for 45 minutes. Turn oven off; leave meringue in oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool on baking sheets. When cooled completely, remove meringues from paper and store in an airtight container at room temperature. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the cocoa, milk, vanilla and kirsch. Fold in whipped cream. Spoon into the meringue shell. Top with strawberries. In a microwave, melt chocolate. Drizzle over berries.
DIRECTIONS: Rinse and thoroughly drain strawberries. Leave the stem. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Put chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. Put bowl into microwave for 30 seconds, take out and stir. Repeat until the chocolate chips have completely melted. Hold stem and carefully dip strawberries, one at a time, into melted chocolate to coat. Allow any excess chocolate to drain back into bowl, then place strawberry on baking sheet. Cool for at least 30 minutes and serve immediately. May be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
