Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Did you know if you don’t wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, everyone is allowed to pinch you?  Ouch!

Taking no chances, I put on my bright, green blouse and went to lunch with my birthday club.  We met at the Driftwood’s Seafood & Steak Restaurant in Murrells Inlet.  This cozy little restaurant is a locals favorite  located off the tourists beaten path but still easy to find.  The food will make you say hmmmmmm and the portions are generous.

There were 10 of us at the table and our waitress gave us wonderful service.  Now that is really saying something because you and I both know what 10 ladies can do to a waitress.  Every request for an extra slice of lemon or a glass of tea with just 3 ice cubes was met with a smile.

I had the whole catfish lunch special (broiled) with baked potato, fried okra and of course, hushpuppies.  The price you ask?  $5.99!  I love a bargain.

The Driftwood offers a early bird menu, senior menu, a childrens menu and  buy 1-get-1 half price specials,  Just recently they’ve added a recession menu.  That menu begins at 4 pm and basically, they offer a dinner entree with a lunchtime price.  How great is that?

I have to confess I did come home and whip up the traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner for my husband.  It’s his all time favorite.  Corned beef sandwiches tomorrow!

Incidentally, I wasn’t pinched once.
