Dessert for Two

I know it has been a little while since Valentine’s Day, but I figured I should mention the places we went to eat that night. Since we just moved and neither of us wanted to get reservations at somewhere we could spend a fortune on food, we chose a different route. As we have mentioned, there are way too many new places to eat around here! So we chose a barbeque place called Home Team BBQ down on 61. There are a few of these restaurants around the Charleston area, but hadn’t been to one yet. It was pretty crowded and there were not many seats left. We ordered our food, Malori got a pulled pork sandwich and I got a pulled chicken sandwich (they were out of the brisket). We both had some fries with our sandwiches and managed to find two barstools and find space on their bar seating against the wall and ate our food. We both enjoyed our food and tried out a few different kinds of barbeque sauce. After we ate dinner we were talking about trying to find a place to get desserts and drinks since our dinner was not up to Valentine’s Day standards. So we found a place down by Avondale called Gala’s Desserts. This was a fancy little place with couches against the wall like a booth would be and small two or four person tables down the wall. They all had colorful mint chairs on the other side of the tables. There was a bakery display case up by the register at the back of the place that showed off some of the dessert items on their menu. Their menu consisted of mainly desserts, coffee drinks, some beer and I believe some sandwich foods as well. We looked over the menu and ended up getting a Peanut Butter Mousse dessert with a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream and drinks, Malori got an iced coffee and I got a beer. The mousse was very sweet, but extremely delicious! We were glad we got the ice cream to go with it. We sat and took our time eating and talking about the weekend and the things we wanted to do. This place was a fun little place to go to, especially if you have a sweet tooth! Hopefully next Valentine’s day we will be more motivated to try one of the fancy places downtown Charleston, but we were both very pleased with our choice to go for desserts this year.
