NOVEMBER
CHARLESTON, SC
ESCAPE THE ORDINARY
You know that feeling after spending hours on the road or miles in the air, when you arrive home, drop your suitcases on the porch, and walk into a house that smells like warm apple pie and roasted butternut squash? The hugs that make you feel like you’re 16 again? That’s November. Whether you create your own family or return to the one that created you, the holidays officially begin this month and that means family, fun, fall, and—best of all—#food. It’s drowse on the couch while the game is on and the turkey has been in the oven since 6 a.m. and no-one’s slammed a door or cried all day. Some of us hold hands at the table before a meal and share what we’re thankful for. Some of us fight for the drumsticks. No matter how you do it, it’s all #delicious. A little wine with dinner and you might even get your sister to tell that story about the year she ruined Thanksgiving because she baked a pie from scratch with salt instead of sugar. We’re not all naturals in the kitchen, but #goodgravy, we do love to eat. We all have days where we want to change our relationship with food to “it’s complicated,” but this is the season of simple pleasures. Pumpkins, pears, sweets, treats and the #yummiest eats. Calories be damned. Say yes to extra helpings, you angels. We’ll keep the leftovers warm for you.
