74°F11:25 PM My fiance is deployed, so this is my first Valentine's day without him. Usually this state of affairs would leave me mascara streaked in front of Titanic with a mammoth box of Cellar Door Chocolates and a box of tissues, but not this Valentine's Day! Hillbilly Tea, one of my favorite local places, is hosting a Valentine's Tea dinner, and I am gathering up my best girlfriend and attending. The menu looks fabulous, the place is fantastic, and the price is reasonable.
Drinking tea is known as one of the best benefits for a person’s body. Tea can help get rid of a cold, give you antioxidants, help you to sleep, reduce risk of stroke and heart attack, keeps you hydrated, and much more. Hillbilly Tea (120 South 1st St.) offers a variety of teas as well as food. All their products come from local venders and after eating there I can honestly say it's the best food I’ve ever eaten.
