Jilted

Thursday night was supposed to be the big night! We were headed to LD's Kitchen, a local eatery that has won accolades for thier mac 'n' cheese. Garden and Gun, a Southern Living-esque publication named LD's Mac 'n' cheese one of the 100 southern foods to try before dying. And several other publications have given it amazing accolades. I was looking forward to sampling said mac 'n' cheese and if it was as good as the rumors had it, i was marrying it. Unfortunately I was jilted at the alter, no mac 'n' cheese except on wednesdays! :c(

The real reason for our excursion was martin's birthday -- yes, a wedding and a birthday. Fun times were had by all. Fried foods were consumed in excess, as was sweet tea. Homeade carrot cake with delightfully unhealthy cream cheese frosting was provided (thanks Kristen and Amber!) for those who don't do chocolate. Adult beverages preceded and followed at the local watering holes. Celebratory hats were worn (Thanks Jen!)-- and Kristen still has her Cock of the walk Red Feather!
