There is nothing like going to town on a nice piece of chicken neck after the rest of the bird has been polished off. It's kinda like dessert to me. Saving the best for last.  

Thursday evening's total for Chimes for Charity reached $3,677 with 42 Children sponsored. That brings this week's total to $15,171 toward the goal of $35,000 and 279 total children have been sponsored out of the 900. Chimes for Charity Co-Chair Kim Hill said they still need more people to sponsor children in order to help the 900 in need.

Divine visions, however uncommon, come in many forms. Some may look like the Sistine Chapel in the Apostolic Palace at Vatican City. While others may be of angels and saints whispering in your ear, encouraging you to liberate France from your English oppressor à la Joan of Arc. And then there's my personal divine vision which has me judging world renown chefs on a crazy popular cooking competition show on national t.v. (I know, I know, dream on).

A massive sink hole eight feet wide has blocked about 1,500 people from entering or leaving the Bear Creek neighborhood. The sink hole is on Shell Rock Landing Road, the only road leading the 500-home neighborhood.

Contestants worked alone, except for setting up or in case of an emergency as determined by the contest monitors. They were allowed 30 minutes to set up equipment, prepare charcoal, etc. prior to the beginning of the timed event.  

Tired of the same old bird for the holidays? Give your turkey an extreme makeover by taking the cooking – and the party – outside. "A turkey smoke-roasted on the grill tastes better, thanks to the smoke flavor," says Steve Raichlen, author of The Barbecue Bible and How to Grill and host of the PBS series "Primal Grill."

In May, pitmaster Aaron Siegel opened his second location, right in the heart of the action on Sullivan Island's Middle Street. The general effect is that of a backroads barbecue shack from somewhere in East Texas dropped down on the beach.
