This is a blog of my five-week exploration of culinary experiences in North Carolina. Baaswell Sheep is accompanying me and offering his own commentary on the trip, although he refuses to go into any place that serves lamb chops.

This was an unusual day, as my companion attended an all-day IT conference while I enjoyed the amenities of our hotel. So, very few pictures today, but my companion did snap some pictures of his dinner at a nice local Italian restaurant.
My companion discovered this place when we were in Asheville a few years ago and wanted to go back to it this year. It's a poplar semi-upscale Italian restaurant that's cozy with good food. Last time, he got a spaghetti carbonara, but this time he went for a penne bolognase with a Greek salad. He said it was all very good, the bolognase rich and flavorful, the salad just the right size, and the bread and olive oil dipping sauce a perfect compliment to the meal. The only thing missing was a good iced tea, but he didn't want the caffeine, so he made do with a lemonade instead.
