Happy International Goof Off Day!



Today we went to the city (Springfield) to run some errands and eat lunch at our favorite restaurant to goof off...

Lambert's!

For those of you who don't live in Missouri... or who have never been to a Lambert's...

This restuarant literally hurls rolls at you. Well, nicely I mean. A guy goes around the restaurant with a cart of hot rolls, you stick your hand up in the air if you want one, and he'll toss is to you. So much fun! There's always a big basket of butters and a jar of honey on the table for the hot rolls. But that's not even the best part! Lambert's is all you can eat. So... literally... you can order a burger (which comes with a side), eat the whole thing... and then order another one... or another one! The servings are so huge though, that I always have trouble eating just half of one burger... and Jason's meal came out in a skillet!!!

This was my three year olds plate. The KIDS chicken and dumplings...



and the cups are as big as a thermos! (see Jason's skillet there on the left?)



PLUS... people walk around with "pass arounds" which is just more all you can eat food that automatically comes with your meal. Fried Okra, Fried Potatoes, Black Eyed Peas, Macaroni and Tomatoes, and sorghum molasses. YUM!! I'm telling you... the first chance you have to eat at a Lambert's... Run! Don't walk! But expect a long wait if you go on a weekend night. People show up there by the bus full and a hour wait (or longer) is typical!

so we stuffed outselves silly and goofed off too





*** HEAD'S UP!!!***

Tomorrow is Puppy Day...

and guess what!!...

Jason is letting me get a puppy!! Seriously I have the best husband ever! And he's so great to go along with celebrating every day with us... and take it seriously. =)

*CHEESE*

So anyway... I know you guys love your puppies! And I want to show them off!!! Let's celebrate them tomorrow. Update a picture of your puppy to the flickr group [click here]... or email it to me at citymousecountryhouse@yahoo.com, and I'll put them on the blog tomorrow to celebrate puppy day.
