Deep Fried Mississippi.

First things first:



I totally left you guys on a cliff hanger and due to bullshit I have to leave you hanging until Monday on this topic. It's still life changing, some of you may already know, but it just can't be Internet official just yet. Monday people, Monday I swear!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Let me just jump into last night:

Mississippi as we all know is one of the healthiest states in the country with culinary innovations that make the rest of the world jealous.

The Hubs had a gig last night in Hattiesburg at this place called Downtown Grill & Grocery. It was a teeny tiny place filled with people and the smell of fried fatty goodness floating in the air. They offered a crappy variety of beer but an amazing assortment of food that will make you fat and question your goals about fitness and life in general. Oh, and slap your Momma.

I was too drunk to take pictures of the actual food from the place so I did some Internet stalking and ripped these from the web. AKA Thanks Google. Don't judge me. The husband will not let me handle nice cameras when I don't even understand how to turn it on after copious amounts of wine and beer.

We all sampled the following:

Deep fried Oreos.

Deep fried Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches.

Deep fried Snickers Bars

*Hey Cely how about this before a run!*

 

And of course Deep Fried Cheese Stixs.

I will say I did not eat all of this..but I tried everything and I am fatter because of it. Why is it that you can fry anything and it makes it better. I really don't eat a lot of fried foods but good Lord sometimes they are just amazing! Not to mention I looked like a coke addict with all of that powdered sugar on me. Seriously, that is the messiest food ever created I think there's still sugar in my hair.

All of this healthy eating took place after the shows so we are talking around 1:30am. Great for healthy eating just a fantastic job there Terri. The start of the night was filled with walking around downtown stopping for a slice of pizza and a few glasses of wine and then back to the show. It was a good time filled with fun friends which is just how I like to start my weekend... enjoy random pictures below:

Disclaimer: We were already drunk-eyed and trying to not look ridiculous.

Trying to get the flower and not look terrible.

Blurry Drew & CDK

We are just awkward.

Katelynn came to see me! (She's here all weekend expect to see a lot of her)

Smashley

The boys doing there thang.

Lesson that was learned last night? Take pictures BEFORE you get drunk and wonky-eyed.

---------------------------

I did do good today though. Got back in the gym after a week off (Shame on me) and we are getting ready to see our other good friend Marley and baby Lucas! Then it's to the USM game tonight!

How is your weekend is going my friends?

Foodgasims.

This weekend was spent on the road with my mom, husband, and our friend Drew. Drew hit on my mom the whole time which was completely ridiculous and provided many, many funny moments; however, not cool Drew.. not cool. We went to Chattanooga, TN for the hubs music showcase (which he rocked at) and then I wanted to go out after to our hotel bar called The Office. It was AWESOME. Their motto was "All Play, No work" Be still my heart! They also had the biggest pitchers of beer I've ever seen for only five bucks.
Morning after pictures:

Why can't Chad get the whole sign in the pic... why??

Okay, so neither can Mom.

Yes, it was a great time and my mom found a new drink to order = coffee with baileys... (really mom that's sooo 2005) the hubs also got to get up on stage there and play a few impromptu songs. That always leads us to having a great time. The hotel also had an AMAZING 24 hour diner attached to it. I swear I didn't even know this when booking and the rooms were so cheap but it was a Fantastic hotel pick. If you're ever going to to Chattanooga, TN stay at the Days Inn by the convention center. I wish I would have taken pictures of our food but alas I didn't. They have everything though..Mexican, breakfast, Italian, stir fry, chicken, beef, and the biggest deserts I've ever seen. The prices were cheap and the portions were HUGE.
Example A:


Example B:


Portions are HUGE:

Talk about heaven. I did pretty good though, I got a turkey burger and baked potato for dinner the first night and the next morning I got 1 egg & wheat toast combo. I resisted all cakes because I knew we were going to The Cheesecake Factory on our way back and I didn't work out all weekend so I had to hold myself back. I'm pretty proud of myself too..normally I would be ass deep in some chocolate cake.

Now on to the Cheesecake Factory!!!
Everything was amazing... I don't even have words. Thank God the closest one to me is 200 miles away because if it wasn't I'd be A LOT fatter.

Don't judge me there were 7 people in our party...I swear.

Mini Appetizers:

Crab balls (One is missing...wonder where he went?)

Fried Cheese

Mini corn dogs (There were four...lucky I got a picture!)

See! I told you there were seven of us.

Entrée

ONE Chicken Tender plate... I swear there were 15 strips

Club sandwich & Sweet Potato Fry's

Skinny Menu pick from Mom! Smaller portion burger & salad

Regular sized burger with Fry's (not pictured)

I didn't want a big meal so I got 2 sides Broccoli & Mashed potatoes 

Desert's  

We were celebrating Chad's Grandfathers Birthday and they brought him this cute little plate!

The biggest Strawberry Shortcake I have ever seen in my life.

My Heaven: Red Velvet Cheesecake

Moms Brownie Cheesecake masterpiece. This one took the "Cheesecake"

Excuse me while I have a foodgasim.

It was absolutely Fabulous. We left with a lot of Togo boxes and fully belly's. I have to toot my own horn again though because I left and I was not stuffed I was satisfied and that's been something I've been working on my body to understand. "Do not stuff yourself to oblivion, stop when you're full." It would be so much easier to do if food didn't taste so dang good.

What makes YOU have a foodgasim?

Have you ever been to The Cheesecake Factory?
