Restaurant Review: Saw's BBQ

I have the flu. I feel icky. I've been home from work for the past two days, but we did have a pretty great weekend. Well until Sunday when I got sick.

We went to Saw's BBQ this weekend. Can you say heavenly? After lunch I was pretty sure I could die and everything would be ok.

Hello cute little mini-menu. All things homemade (including their peanut butter pie which I didn't get to try).

Pork sandwich with white bbq sauce. If you have never had white bbq sauce, um, what are you waiting for? I'm sure that there are more calories in this than the regular, but calorie free saturdays, I always say. Also that potato salad? Yum. I'm pretty picky about my potato salad, and this was pretty good.

Saw's sauce. You can buy this on its own. It can be used as a marinade or sauce, or snack. Whatever.

As you can tell I hated my lunch so much. Shiner Blonde? Yes, please.

The inside of the place. It's really small on the inside, and trying to eat lunch at a normal time at this place is pretty impossible. It was around 3 when we went. The kitchen is even small. Plus, you're allowed to write on the walls. There's a little iron pig on the wall (look to the very left of the picture). I want him.

The front window. You can sit and people watch if you prefer.

The Masters was on. This is why he didn't even know I was taking the picture. He's oh so cute though. I love him so much.

Then since DreamCakes was right next door, we decided we were going to try some new ones. Their red velvet one is amazing and Bennett had a caramel mocha thing. I'm not a huge coffee fan, but mine was so good. The owner actually has a Southern Living cookbook being released today. I will find out what that icing recipe is.

I didn't get pictures, sorry. They were too good for me to remember to grab my camera and get 'em.

So hopefully, I'll start to feel better sometime soon. I miss being able to breathe. And work out. But if I'm too sick to work out, then you know I'm sick.

Sweetness

I so wanted this to be our wedding song, but I lost. These boys are amazing with it. This song is so sweet, still makes me cry. Enjoy!

things I love: Citizen Cope

What is a Citizen Cope you may be asking? Well, let me tell you. He is a musician!! And a marvelous one at that.

And there is a little sentimental value to this love. This is the first concert that Bennett and I went to together. Wait, scratch that. This was our first date ever (cue the awwwwws...). He sort of introduced me to him, and we were going to have his song Holdin On as our first dance song, but well, it's six minutes long, so no.

The concert was at Workplay Theater in Birmingham. It's a fantastic place to watch concerts. There's two stages; the Soundstage and the Auditorium. The Soundstage is bigger, but you are standing the whole night. The Auditorium has a top floor with seats all around it, and the bottom floor has the same. Either way, both of them are great. It's one of the best places in Birmingham to watch a show!!

The chandelier in the stage area. With the banners. Oh, how I want that chandelier. I suggested it for our dining room, but Bennett said he would prefer to see the people he's eating with. Oh well.

Self-photos! The one accessory you can't see? The oh so awesome Hello Kitty band-aid that's attached to my back. Well it was either that or my gigantic cancer hole. You decide.

There he is!

It was such a good show. I recommend looking him up on iTunes or whatever file sharing thing you use. He's got a blue-sy sort of feel to him. And he sang this entire show acoustic, which made it even more special when he sang our song!!
