I mentioned yesterday that it was a special weekend.
Today is our anniversary!
I just had to share the awesome card I found for 2nd Man. Don't worry, he's already gotten it by the time this posts.
Bees!
The inside, prior to writing in it of course, ha.
We went out yesterday, before the monsoon rains hit, to eat one of our most favorite meals EVER....
I always get all dark meat with french fries...two thighs and a leg...
We went out yesterday, before the monsoon rains hit, to eat one of our most favorite meals EVER....
A restaurant called Barbecue Inn (wonderful BBQ) that has been in Houston for 70 years! It's a Houston institution for sure.
But even though the bbq is wonderful, they are also known for their fried chicken...it's been listed nationally, several times, as some of the best fried chicken in the entire country..

2nd Man gets all white meat with baked potato...two breasts and a wing...
It's SO good. Their method/recipe is a secret of course but it is crunchy, crispy, moist goodness...the ultimate comfort food.
For dessert (we brought leftover chicken home), we went to Menchies Frozen Yogurt...you go in, mix the yogurt flavors you want, and then go over to the counter of mix-ins....

You can put as much of any combination of this in your fro-yo...you pay by weight at the end of the line. I forgot to get a picture of our end results but mine involved a combination of chocolate frozen yogurt and Reese's peanut butter frozen yogurt with hot caramel, white chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, cookie dough, peanuts, and sprinkles.
It was a great day. We came home just before the rain hit and it's been raining now all night and sporadically this morning. They are saying another 4-7 inches of rain is possible.
So thanks for sharing in our anniversary...17 years ago today I met 2nd Man for the first time and we've been together ever since. Through many ups (the farm, moving, getting our kitties, fun adventures and vacations and of course more amazing meals than anyone should have) as well as the terrible downs (he's been with me for the loss of both of my parents and my grandparents), he has always been there. I swear the 17 years have FLOWN by.
He's my rock and I love him.
UPDATE: THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SWEET COMMENTS!
WE APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY ONE!
Congratulations to both of you. I am just drooling over the fried chicken. They double dip for their crust, I would think.

ReplyDeleteThe fried chicken photo - my mouth is watering, especially when I had just a salad for lunch. Your over-the-top-decadent frozen yogurt - OMG! And all I had was some Greek yogurt with some canned peaches! : D
I am so thankful for the 2.5 inches of rain from last night - and everything in my yard is thankful also. It has all already perked up. Glad y’all got some good rain also.
