You know what day it is? It's down home southern cooking day!! We headed over to Richard and Mrs. Kathys house for family dinner and Richard had every burner and over rolling. We had greens in the slow cooker, buttered potatoes, green beans, corn bread, blackened snapper, bacon wrapped chicken tenders, cabbage, roasted squash and black eyed peas. Needless to say we needed help eating all of this, and that's when the rest of the family showed up.
Also i learned about one of the coolest things ever, BACON BASE!!!! Oh yeah that's right. Imagine, bacon stock leads to bacon risotto, bacon consomme, bacon anything!!!!!
Friends and family members rolled in, Amy's "cousins" foster and sawyer (Sawbaby) came running in like little blond tornadoes of activity. We sat, ate, watched the saints game, and laughed all afternoon long. It was a great day.
After lunch it was nap time, a good nice lazy Sunday. Amy also got me hooked on a really "terrible" show on MTV called Awkward. It's additively bad.
Tonight we head to The Shed, a great BBQ shack with a stage and great outdoor eating. It was open mike night so we heard some great acts and some terrible musicians. One guy actually came up and said,
"Sorry I don't know this song very well so bear with me." Good job fella.
It was a great dinner of brisket and pulled pork, with wonderful baked beans and mac salad topped off with some wonderful beers and great company. JD, Heather, and several of his Air Force friends joined us for a fun night out.
We called it an early night and headed home.
