Those chocolate covered pretzel sticks are super yummy!

Also, I thought the chocolate numbers were a clever idea. Next time someone has a birthday, I’m putting chocolate numbers on the cake instead of candle numbers because you can at least eat the chocolate numbers. I guess you could eat the candles too, but they probably wouldn’t be very tasty.

This is what I ended up taking home with me. I was amazed that I managed to refrain from buying everything in sight. I’m definitely stopping by Sweet Granada again next time I have a meeting in Emporia.

I had the opportunity to eat at Bobby D’s for the first time after our meeting in Emporia yesterday. So glad that Roger recommended it because their food is tasty. Here are some pictures to make your mouth water…

Darcy and Jan both had pulled pork.

I normally order pulled pork at most BBQ places, but I opted for the brisket this time because it had rave reviews on FourSquare. It was delicious. I didn’t regret ordering it.

I also ordered the cheesy potatoes because it’s one of their specialties, or so the menu indicated. It was pretty yummy. We had lunch so late and I ate so much that I didn’t feel like eating dinner last night. LOL. Oh, well.

Celebrating with Grandma

We had a great day celebrating Mother’s Day with Brian’s dad and grandmother at Olive Garden today. We lucked out and didn’t have to wait.

After lunch Brian and I went to Cabela’s to pick up some replacement sunglasses for him. Don’t worry. He didn’t get these ones.

We did get a good deal on his sunglasses, though. Again, not the ones pictured. They were on sale so we got them for $7. Not bad, eh?

Brian’s Yummy Pork

Posted on May 13, 2012 by under Food and Drink.    

Overheard in the shower this morning, “I’m looking forward to eating your pork later.” This was in reference to the barbecued pork strips that Brian made for dinner, for him and Jenni, last night. I have trouble with saying things that are easily taken out of context. LOL. I probably should have waited until we were out of the shower.

This sort of thing happens to me all the time though, both in pubic and in private. We all just laugh about it.

Anyway, I missed out on the pork strips because I had dinner plans with some girl friends. It was Jarrica’s bachelorette dinner/party thing.

So this morning, I told Brian that I was looking forward to eating his meat. The pork strips he cooked for dinner, I mean.

We got the meat from Yoder Meats yesterday after Zumba. I had no idea they had a store so close to Genesis. I’m really glad we got to try Yoder Meats because after tasting their pork, never again will I be buying pork from anywhere else. Yummy!

Brian and I got to try When Pigs Fly for the first time this week. We constantly drive by it every time to we got Genesis West Central because it’s on the way. This last time that we drove by it, we finally decided to step inside and give it a try.

I was on my way to Zumba so I didn’t really want to eat too much. Brian and I decided to split a meal. It was a good call because there was plenty of food for both of us.

We got macaroni salad and coleslaw for our two sides. I wish I would have known it was garlic slaw because I hate garlic slaw. Theirs isn’t bad, though. As garlic slaw goes, it’s actually pretty good.

The pulled pork at When Pigs Fly is super delicious. I’m actually glad we went in. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other menu items. 🙂
