What did you do the day after your wedding?
I nursed a pitifully hungover husband and photographed things in restaurants for this here bloggy. That's normal, yes?
It had to be done - we didn't want to miss out on fun things while we were in the mountains!

It was brought to my attention yesterday that next week is spring break for Clemson University, where I'M A STUDENT.
I have a lot going on. Sheesh.
Spring break doesn't mean a ton to people who work multiple jobs, but it does mean that one night next week that I would be in class I'll be cooking dinner for 2 classmates while we work on a project. SO BREAK-Y! We're one step away from Girls Gone Wild, my classmates and I.
Anyway, I know that real humans probably have real plans for any upcoming breaks. So, in honor of those of you who might be seeing some sunshine in the coming weeks, I've GOT to tell you about this restaurant - Poe's Tavern on Sullivan's Island, SC. My 3 bff's and I went last year for a weekend away, which was essentially the best part of my year. Minus buying a house and getting engaged kind of and getting a new job and having my first set of counseling clients.
It was tied with those things, is what I mean. 2012 was a good year.
But this place. The entire point of our girls' weekend was to do nothing but cook/eat/drink/sleep. We did VERY well at making our point. We ate at restaurants, made these fish tacos for my friend Addie's birthday (they're her favorite, she orders them everywhere we go), watched crappy girl TV, and slept for MANY hours.
...
Um, I ate like crap this weekend.
It was so delicious, all of it, but it was total crap.
The problem, you see, is that when I cater a lot for other people I have no desire to cook for myself. I have a desire to have someone serve me in a restaurant, and so I ate lots of delicious crappy restaurant food.
Sorry, it's true. It's healthier to cook at home.

Over Labor Day weekend we went to Boone, NC with some friends Jay knows from his old life in DC. We had a blast, we ate, we drank, we cooked, and we heard lots of stories about what a terrible comedian Jay was.
More on that later, though.
Also while we were there, our friends requested that we find a great BBQ place since there aren't tons of great places to get pulled pork where they live.
Or, any, according to them.
So, we found this place. Bandana's Bar B Que and Grill.
...
Happy Friday!
We got a new grill this week.
So, I'm tellin' ya about some grillin' stuff!
You're welcome. It's nice that we feel this closeness I think.
So, you know how at weddings and hotel-catered events one of the items is ALWAYS some kind of sliced beef product with a horseradish-y sauce?
This is like that.
But WAY better.
It's easy, too!
