Southern Blues




So I was able to go visit my very fantastic wonderful fabulous southern friends for a few days with my fiance. WOW- has time passed. Living in Huntsville for two years was such an amazing time and finding some of our life long friends- made it even better.




Some events:




Main Street Cafe in Old Madison. Used to be an old southern jail- now they just serve wonderful southern food. Tom & Misty opted for the cheesy meatloaf and I opted for my favorite chicken salad croissant. Also- for dessert- STRAWBERRY PRETZEL SALAD!!! Best in town. Misty was going to buy us a pan as a surprise- but surprise- a pan is $35. Highway robbery. Plus being on a wedding diet- who needs $35 worth of jello, sugared pretzels and thick cream....? I know Jamie has a great recipe for this amazing concoction..... so post your recipes PLEASE.




Phil Sandovals Mexican Catina. Looks the same as Rosie's- but a better vibe. GREAT margaritas, great cheese dip and great green rice (what makes it green?). They don't seem to have a menu, or I would post it for all to see. Maybe they should get one, oh and a facebook page. Nothing is more "in" that becoming a fan of _____. Went with Belinda, Ana lisa, Tom, Misty, Jill and ummm... our new favorite Latin woman- BECKY. She proved to be the best new thing on our trip. Her and her need to stick out her tongue in pictures. So the night ended on a typical old people note- bed at 11:00 PM. exhausted from travel. Worst news of the day- Becky doesn't have facebook or e-mail. How does she know what's going on in the world?




Monte Sano Mountain-http://www.alapark.com/montesano/. Wow. Who would have though that "Kouture" would partake in such an event as early morning hiking to burn off the pounds of food she ate.... woo hoo. we hiked about 5 miles. It gave us all time to catch up and laugh. Things we laughed about- the black dress- sammy t's bathroom poops- the magic wand to ward off the green worms (aka future butterflies of the world). Also- the ever so cute miss allie marie murray attended the trip like the little princess that she is. After hiking for 3 hours we felt as if we deserved cupcakes and cheeseburgers. So we hit up red robin- where we had them sing happy birthday to Jill. Why does embarrassing people give me such a rush? I'm sick. Oh and tom got the weirdest burger- like pineapples and stuff. Gross.Then we hit up this amazing chic cupcake boutique called GiGi's. http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/cupcakes.aspx. Not only were they beautiful- they were worth every single calorie. I got summer fun- birthday cake bottom with lemon icing. Wow. Amazing. Misty got pretty princess- Tom wanted that too. Social pressure not to get the pretty princess led him to pick the birthday surprise AKA the original. boo. Poor Tom.


Back to the resort (aka Jill's new house) and then nap time. Gotta be rested for Belinda's party....




More later... I have to go to work. Ugh.
