Twas the week before Thanksgiving…

Are you ready for the feasting? Are you hosting the festivities? Home Ec 101′s Countdown to Turkey Day series can help you out.

Let’s see what’s been going on in the Lowcountry blogosphere recently.

An Eggo waffle shortage? Really?

Kellogg Co. says there will be a nationwide shortage of its popular Eggo frozen waffles until next summer because of interruptions in production at two of the four plants that make them.
The company’s Atlanta plant was shut down for an undisclosed period by a September storm that dumped historic amounts of rain in the area. Meanwhile, several production lines at its largest bakery in Rossville, Tenn., are closed indefinitely for repairs, company spokeswoman Kris Charles said in an e-mail.

Earl Capps calls out one of our esteemed politicians for speeding through the I-26 construction zone.

First, what is a Green Roof? Put simply, Green Roofs are living additions to roof structures. Their environmental impact is tremendous. They reduce storm water runoff, reduce the “heat island effect,” reduces pollutants & increases oxygen, extends roof life by 2-4 times, lowers energy costs, lowers noise level, creates urban green space and even help reduce our carbon footprint.

4. Before accepting an invitation to go on a vacation,make sure you know where you all stand-i.e. what each other’s expectations are. Believe you me, NOTHING is more awkward than you thinking one thing, he be thinking another and then find out what each other really wanted/expected out of the trip . . . in the middle of the Caribbean. . . on a cruise ship. . .with 5 days left on the friggin cruise. Do I sound like I’m speaking from experience? Because I am.

It’s also hard to browse through the LCB blogosphere without running into one of the many great photographers in the area. Robert Donovan is one of those photographers and gives us some amazing sunset photos from Toler’s Cove and the Coastal Carolina Fair.
