The break is over.

Well, that sure was a long vacation. Sorry not to have written in over a week! It's the longest I will go. I promise. Not only for the readers, but also for my sanity! I love to write and keep up with this blog. It gives me something to look forward to everyday. However, the last week has been quite chaotic.

Work is going as smoothly as possible. We are having a rather large conference next week, so the planning and organizing for the last couple of days has left me too exhausted to cook delicious meals (crazy, I know) let alone update my blog. I also traveled to South Carolina on Thursday to visit my family and then traveled to Charleston for a Bachelorette party for one of my best friends, Meredith. It was a whirlwind, that's for sure. But alas, I am BACK!

In keeping it short, I only have one thing to share with you today: Groucho's.

If you grew up in South Carolina, live in South Carolina or even visited there, I hope that you had the opportunity to visit my favorite place to eat. I learned of this special eatery when I was in middle school, and there was no looking back . I probably ate there at least three times a week in high school. We went there before all the sporting events and class projects. I went there an absurd amount in college too. Although, there was always the argument with my friends that Andy's Deli was better, I think they were just having a quick brain fart. Anyway, for most of us, it was THE place to meet up. For sure. (There are locations all over the state; my favorites being in Lexington, Columbia and Charleston).

It also has one of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted. The All-Turkey Apollo. Oh. My. God. I can taste it now. Yummm. White sub roll, sliced turkey, swiss cheese all melted and warmed up together. I die thinking about it.*

Let's keep going. :) All of this yumminess is not at all complete until you add the 45 sauce. This special sauce is delish. I don't know what's in it, except maybe some 1000 Island dressing and dill, but it is heaven on earth! Dip your sandwich in there, finish up your meal with some Baked Lay's and a refreshing glass of Sweet Tea, and honey, I am telling you, you are one happy camper!

I miss Groucho's all the time. I am so glad that I got to stop there last Friday with my mom and sister. Here's a picture of the masterpiece itself:

Sorry. I got hungry before I could take a picture. Going four months without it can do that to you. :)

It was such a great weekend, and I am so glad to have been able to finally see so many of my best friends that I missed so much. Next up: Meredith's wedding. Oh Lord, it's going to get crazy, but I CAN NOT WAIT! Maybe I can squeeze in another Groucho's trip while I am down there for the ceremony next weekend.

Have a good rest of the week! I'm making some yummy things this weekend, so stay tuned!

PS: Randan's birthday is Monday!!!! Ah!!! So excited!

*You many think I am being dramatic. That's fine. I don't care. When you experience your favorite meal, you will feel the same way. Trust me.
