It's Paula Deen y'all!!

This last week H had a long-needed vacation and we were thankfully able to get home and see our family. It's so hard living so far away, and being pregnant and getting ready for little H makes it just that much harder. We have no one here to share all of this with (except through this blog), so it was great to get to see everyone and spread the love around. Yes, we got lots of belly rubs. :) In any case, H and I and his mom took a trip to downtown Savannah in search of Christmas ornaments, and decided to venture out and see if we could get into Paula Deen's restaurant The Lady and Sons. Of course, H and his mom had been there before she was famous, but since she's hit it big, lines literally wrap around a few city blocks to get in...and there's no waiting list. We were totally lucky though, and we actually got in with NO WAITING and got to enjoy her delicious food. And believe me, it was delicious! Sure, it was so salty that I was swollen for the rest of the day, even to the point of pitting, but it was all worth it. I ate my back out and then got a nice little picture with the Lady herself:
Yeah sure, it is a cardboard cutout (which may explain why she looks skinnier than me), but I had to do it nonetheless...as cheesy as it was. It was so yummy, and so fun, and if you ever get to go, TRY THE FRIED CHICKEN. EEEYUM!!
