The World's Best Meal

This is what my kitchen looks like at the current moment

however, the meal was SO worth the clean up!

Blake has been wanting to prepare

"the world's best meal"

as he refers to it, for quite sometime

so we decided that there was no better time than the present!

"The world's best meal"

consist of his favorite dishes

from some of his favorite restaurants:

Reata, Perini and some Texas cookbook.

We had nothing on the books for today

so we devoted the afternoon, evening and night to the kitchen.

Preping the onion rings.....

Cooking the onion rings.....

The finished product....

Hands down, best dish of the evening!!

This was a meal for my daddy;

all brown and fried!

For the main course we had

onion rings,

chicken fried chicken,

chicken fried steak,

and jalapeno cheese grits.

Our first dessert..

Blackberry Crisp with Vanilla Bean ice cream

And because one wasn't enough,

Strawberry Shortcake

(homemade buttermilk biscuit, strawberries cooked with sugar

and heavy cream drizzled on top)

I'm still awake blogging

becasue I am so uncomfortably full the thought of lying down

makes my stomach hurt worse

(if thats even possible).

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
