The small plates turned in large plates for me! lol
Every plate was delicious. Be sure to try this dishes:

The logan turnpike grits were smooth and silky tasting to the tongue. The 2 jumbo shrimps and tasso gravy complimented the grits perfect.The salmon was moist and delish!



Fried Green Tomatoes


Crock of Mussels
The mussels were in a shallots and garlic with a sweet white wine sauce served with garlic bread. Yummmy!

The Spinach Salad
I love a great salad and this was one. It was a spinach salad with cranberries, almonds, sliced boiled egg and a sweet applewood bacon and bacon dressing.

Well I ended my week with my 21st Wedding Anniversary at Ritz Hotel and the Atlanta Grill. Yes, I said 21 we have gone throw many things, I am his ride or die and he is my SuperMAN. lol
Here are a few wedding pictures

My wedding bouquet which is now hanging on my wall.

Okay, I was having a melt down and my cousin was like girl this is not the time! You are getting married today...lol



Me in my coat train dress which unsnaps and becomes a beaded short cocktail dress. Guess what it was rented from a boutique for $450 and retail $3500

Ha...He put a ring on it...lol

My SuperMAN

The key to a long marriage with or without problems is:.....DRUMROLL Please!!!
  • Open, honest and positive communication (See you cannot just have communication without being honest no matter who gets hurt, open because some people shut down after they communicate, positive meaning having a solution or compromise to make it work). We are still working on this but we are soooooo much better! lol
  • Respect (See respect goes both ways and you are both important and worth it)
  • Love (See you will fall in and out of love like two high school kids...trust me we did and it gets stronger each time)
  • KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS!!! (See there will be haters jealous of what you have and they can be family or friends. You can share information but limit the information you share unless it is to help someone better their relationship. We had them and we prayed them off!)Well I did ...lol
For more loving and positive tips on a Happy Marriage

This hotel and restaurant is a must do on your list! Ok, lets start with the warm, urban Jazzy flyer.
Now up to the Atlanta Grill for dinner and drinks on the patio over looking the streets of downtown Atlanta. A live Jazz band playing and a patio filled with couples in live and rose petals gracing the floor what more could you ask for.

Ritz Carlton downstairs Bar
Atlanta Grill dinning room

Now the food was more than I expected but you will pay for it so bring your Black card with extra cash! lol
Our waiter all I can say .....hummmmm sexy, polite and from another country. lol
He graced our table with a iron-cast basket of rolls, cheddar biscuits and cornbread. I screamed cornbread at a classy restaurant and he laughed.I grew up eating cornbread and collard green juice (potlicker)! lol

Then there was salad, wine and beer...yep. Beer is poured in a tall shoot glass look alike half way with a lime on the side. lol

As we chatted about our future and life over (Classic Shrimp Cocktail)
Cocktail Sauce, Creamy Green Goddess
dinner came floating out.


Check out the mini Tabasco Sauce
 

I had a dish called Seafood...it was Gumbo Deluxe
(Savannah Style “Purloo” Shrimp, Oysters, Okra, Carolina Rice Grits, Tomato, Andouille Sausage)
and good if you ask me. lol

 
My honey had a Juicy steak that could be cut with a fork and a loaded silky bake potato! Woooow
 
 


Our dessert was a warm Rum bread Pudding topped with vanilla ice cream
(White Chocolate Bread Pudding Vanilla Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce ).
My my my we were two fat kids!!!! lol

 I took a visit to the restroom and after looking at the drying clothes and basket I wanted to know were the restroom attendant was to dry me off and spray perfume on me at....lol

My blue jean jumper and leather tan belt and shoes where thrift store finds and my purse a sweet deal from Bakers Shoe store $20
 
 
If we could have road public transportation home and slept the entire way we would have done it! lol

    1. Hello Demetria
      Thank you and yes come to the ATL we have several Thrift Stores, Resale (Consignment stores) and Boutiques that you will love.

      I grew up thrifting and hated when my mom would pick us up after school from Granny and we would be in that store for 3 hours or until it closed. She shopped every inch of

      that store. Lol
      I'm glad she did because now I find great deals and appreciate resale items:)
