Organized Chaos

Long time no see! I have been a busy bee this past week. My closest friend since the 3rd grade got married this past Friday and I was a bridesmaid. The wedding was beautiful and the reception was a blast! Having been in quite a few weddings recently I am learning how to pace myself for those long days and this time I think I finally got the routine down. I didn't stay up late the night before. I made my hair apt early enough that morning so I wasn't running late and I didn't forget anything I needed at home ( for me that's a HUGE accomplishment). I was then able to enjoy my friends day and let it all be about her and she was simply a beautiful bride!

Then on Saturday I had a 2 part day...

Part 1:

My friend Jenn made brunch and invited me and the BF over for some delish food! Now let me start by saying that she is a chef so it wasn't just any ole spread it was THE SPREAD. I mean she had fruit, eggs, bagels, cinnamon raison bread, muffins this DELISH pumpkin butter spread stuff ( not really butter that's just what they call it thank goodness) and best of all she had ...

                                                                   CANDIED BACON!

It was absolutely DELISH! Its bacon covered in black pepper and brown sugar! I know... I know... it sounded strange to me at first but once I tasted it I was hooked! It was a great time hanging out with her, her hubby, and her new baby. Lots of laughs and a great way to wind down from the day before.

Part 2:

I'm not sure if you have been to this restaurant that I'm about to name but if you haven't please make it a point to go.

 

FOGO DE CHAO!!!

 

This place is a Brazilian steakhouse where the salad bar is insane, the sides are DELISH, and the meat is never ending. I try not to brag about restaurants because I know everyone has their own taste. Plus I would hate to send someone to a place where they spend their money and don't enjoy the food, but with this place you can't go wrong!  You flip your disk to green and they bring you out as much meat as you can handle ( 12 different varieties...some of it is even wrapped in bacon!!!) then you flip it to red when you're done or want to take a break then flip it back when you're ready to pig out again. Best restaurant I've ever been to and I wholeheartedly recommend it.  

 

Here's just a taste...

 

So overall my weekend was a smashing success. It was hectic, chaotic and I didn't get much time to sit and relax but it was certainly the best weekend I've had in a long time. I hope you had a good weekend too! What were you up to?
