Food, drink, fun, more food, and more food...

Whew, it's been a busy week (two weeks?).  My friend from high school was here for three days and it took me at least a full week to get the house cleaned up enough to where I wasn't embarrassed.  :)

My friend lives in Brooklyn and has never been to Savannah.  Her first remarks were about how green our vegetation is and how it felt like she was breathing water.  Yeah, it's crazy humid even when it's not hot here.

I wish I had taken pictures of everything we ate and did while she was here, but I was living in the moment.  I took her to the tourist hot spots and had so much fun.  We went to a cute little jewelry store that I'd only been in one time previously and got some cute fire stone earrings.



We had brunch at Huey's on the river and she had her first taste of a fried green tomato, which she raved about!  The also had some of the best coffee..mmmmm...coffee.



I ordered the eggs benedict.  Not picture: beignets.



When we weren't eating or shopping, we were out alligator watching.  One was even sunbathing with a swollen belly.  Wonder if he had the beignets too.



Sunday night's dinner included a grilled bacon wrapped jalapeno popper.  It was far better than the breaded and fried kind.




She left today and while I loved having her around, I'm so ready to get back into my routine.  Does that make me sound old? :) I like to lay around naked after a shower. I like to fall asleep on my recliner while the tv plays.  I like to drink a cup of coffee before talking to anyone in the mornings.  These are all things that can't be done with company in the house.

  1. Sounds like a great visit - and I totally get what you mean about being back to your routine :) That reminds me I haven't made my husband those grilled poppers in forever - yum! Cute earrings.

  2. That's the beauty of having company (or being company). It's an awesome break from routine...but it makes us totally appreciate that routine when we finally get it back!
