The entire place is pig-themed, from the parking spots:

The façade:

I’m pretty sure my life would be a little better with a piggy weathervane.

Squealing trinkets:

The ceiling is lined with hundreds of different ice cream scoopers.

When I was younger, Chocomania used to be my favorite (the deepest chocolate ice cream you can imagine), but now I have to get Chocolate Peanut Butter. This is a Kids scoop, but it’s still pretty big!

Crudités and Margaritas with mango-flavored salt:

Bloody Marys on the beach:

My dad was cooking crew leader the other night, and prepared a delicious meal: corn + tomato scramble, sesame cabbage, and salmon.

He also made one of the best desserts I’ve had:

No-Bake Chocolate-Raspberry Cream Pie:

And, finally, a breakfast tribute to K, in celebration of being in her state (a plain Oikos, banana, and blueberry parfait):

I’ll be back later with some fabulous Southern recipes. In the mean time, my fingers are crossed that the skies will clear and we can get down to the beach! Have a fabulous Wednesday
