Food Friday

As you know, we celebrated 8 great years of marriage this week. We were able to head over the bridge to where we fell in love and dine at our favorite place for our anniversary dinner. Hollye, Claire and Thew (our cousins) kept our love child for us, and for that we are most grateful. Meals without precious Henry have become a mini vacation! I thought I would review our favorite spot, because I did not cook anything worth bragging about this week.

If you have followed our blog over the past 3+ years you know Randall and I love Bonefish Grill. It is a chain, and we do not usually favor a chain, but this one has us hooked. We loved living down the road from one and went a couple of times a month before we moved to Arkansas. Now it is more of an occasion to eat there!
I love the atmosphere of a Bonefish and the extra large booths are my favorite. I love that the hostess will seat two people in a spot for 6. My feet don't touch the floor in these booths, but I still love them!

Randall and I love the specials. We both grab for the speicals menu at the same time. It makes us laugh that the strawberry shortcake is always a special! One of us usually orders a dish from this menu. We love anything that has "Imperial" with it. You can't go wrong with a seafood stuffed dish covered in cream sauce.

The Ahi Tuna Sashimi makes my mouth water and Randall's mouth gag. I love this starter. My sweet neighbor from Byhalia introduced me to it some years back and we would always order it and split it. If you like sushi, you will love this.



Bang Bang, baby! If you know Bonefish, you know the Bang Bang Shrimp. Randall loves it and I am a pretty big fan also. We hate they started $5 Bang Bang Wednesday's after we moved, but it was probably best for our waistlines!



I cannot start my meal without the Bonefish Salad. I heart this salad like none other. The heart of palm, pine nuts and Bonefish dressing make my taste buds dance. I made this salad for a dinner party once and it was just as good. I should make it at home more often because I do love it.

Bread is so basic, but their bread is so yummy. Nothing fancy, but really good. Randall usually saves me a half a piece. He is a bread man.

And the entree is always incredible, no matter what I order. If I do not order off the specials, I always get fish (I always order a different type of fish at random. I love trying new things.) with a pan asian sauce. It is wonderful! The garlic mashed potatoes are always the side of choice for me.

So, if you live near a Bonefish, go for Valentine's Day. They are having a fabulous steak and lobster special! They should really send me a gift card or something for this post, you think?!

And Food Friday is not complete without a peek at my little foodie. Here he is helping me unload groceries. The wagon really comes in handy!

Happy Food Friday!
Abby

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Pedicure Pledge

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Sandal Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. I will
