Lady & Sons

Last night we bought some pizza and settled the children snuggling in the condo under the watchful eye of cousin Jess and biggest sister on the job Hannah.  Then the grown ups headed to Savannah GA for a little celebrity chef adventure.

Paula Deen, who I love because I think she's warm and genuine & who R finds annoying because she is loud and kind of obnoxious but who we both watch from time to time, has her restaurant in Savannah.  Of course we wanted to go try it out.

After a little mishap with the GPS, which lead us squarely through the slums of Savannah we ended up a block from the restaurant and smack dab in the middle of a movie set.  It took some sorting out as they had blocked the street but eventually the car was parked and we were seated.  The movie they were making is called Heebie Jeebie and it was interesting to see all the commotion and equipment and lights and steam that are part of movie making.  It's a horror movie so that scene on the street is the most I am going to ever see of it, still it was fun.  The most exciting part was that we saw "Ron Weasley" from Harry Potter.  He's in it.  Abba snapped this photo of him from the 3rd floor restaurant window.  He is standing by the white tent in the background wearing a black low cut long sleeved tee shirt and a dog collar. 

Anyway, the food was good.  I had the fried chicken which was delish and tried such southern specialties as collared greens, black eyes peas, lima beans and a few others.  A few bites of each were fun to try.  Rob really liked his dinner, he got the peach BBQ grouper.  I'm glad we got to go once, I wouldn't go again, however the filming commotion and "dining experience" was a lot of fun.
