This is the first time I’ve shared a picture of myself and I have to say it’s much easier to share pictures of food. I don’t really like pictures of myself, but in an effort to get over that (this is what I look like afterall) I decided to let you all know what I look like.
Last week my family spent our vacation with my sister’s family and my parents in a rented house at Gulf Shores, Alabama. The beach was beautiful and we had a fantastic time. My mom had prepared lots of food for the week and frozen it, packed on dry ice. (See my post on vacation food for how to do this)
Here’s a picture of the cooler. The dry ice was packed on top of the food, along with newspaper as an insulator.
Our menu was similar to what we did last year. Stuffed Shells, Chicken Fiesta with Black Beans, hamburgers and hotdogs, Chicken Tetrazini, Chicken Pot Pie. My sister and her husband raise bison and they brought along some bison fillets that they grilled for us. I made mine into a salad.
We did plan one night for eating out at Lambert’s Cafe. Lambert’s is a very popular restaurant. We waited nearly an hour for our table, but it was worth it.
They had the cutest bucket of condiments on the table. I had to drag them out and take a picture.
My brother-in-law ordered frog legs. He got 5 pairs, attached at the…ummm…hip. I hear frog legs jump in the pan while they’re cooking.
My oldest daughter was put off by all the meat and food. She eats like a bird and decided to order a salad. That must be a joke at Lambert’s, because the salad was big enough to feed a family of five for a week.
We even had a visit from the tooth fairy while we were at the beach.
Definitely a good vacation all around. Thanks for letting me share a bit of it with you.
Happy SITS Day! Hoping to find some cool recipes for my family!

Congrats on being the Featured Blogger today! We went to Panama City Beach last year and spent so much time looking for somewhere to eat that it drove me nuts. I like your plan for bringing your own food and packing it with dry ice. I never even thought of that.

Stopping by from SITS … I’m interested on your freezing vacation food because we’re headed to the Oregon coast next month & I’d already thought about taking canned goods (we’re driving) etc to save some money. Cool that you’ve even got a post on it! And I agree on the taking pictures of yourself to post — much easier to do it of whatever your blog is about!
congrats on your SITS day!!!!!!
you have a great blog!!!!!!
Congrats on your SITS day! I just took a look around your blog and you have some amazing recipes! The tortellini recipe looks especially good!!
Those fried frog legs (attached at the HIP!!)….I kinda cringed when I saw them but I’ll bet they tasted great!!!!
Are you feelin’ the love from the SITStahood? Its a good thing I ate some breakfast before I read your blog otherwise I’d be sifting through my kitchen for some food to eat. BTW – you photograph well!
Wishing you a scent-sational hump day!
Patty
