I was tagged by Carrie in her post regarding her favorite restaurants. I might do three lists... one of Nashville, one of Fort Worth, and one of Abilene. When we were in the DR with TJ and Holly, Holly suggested that we take a food vacation. In this vacation we would go to Abilene and eat at all our favorite places. I think it's a pretty good idea although, I'd like to add Fort Worth to the itinerary. Actually, I'm not going to do three different lists, I'm going to make them all one.

1. Chili's . Brentwood, TN . By far my most favorite place to eat. Blake and I love to go to Chili's. It doesn't matter where... Brentwood, Abilene, or Fort Worth. Brentwood is the best and Kevan Albright is by far the best waiter in the whole world. The Quesadilla Explosion Salad is heavenly! You must try it!

2. Cousin's Barbeque . Fort Worth, TX . The BEST barbeque you will ever eat. There are a few locations in the metroplex. If you ever fly through DFW airport, you must eat there.

3. Puffy Muffin . Brentwood, TN . I love Puffy Muffin. I love their chicken salad, tortilla soup, chocolate chip pancakes, hashbrown casserole, and mocha crinkles. It is always filled with Nashville's most adorable moms... I don't fit in, but I don't care. Even Blake loves eating breakfast there.

4. Spaghetti Warehouse . Abilene (or Fort Worth), TX . It isn't the same as the Spaghetti Factory in Nashville. It's WAY better. It's cheap with great bread and even better salad. I can't wait to go again.

5. Copper Kettle . Nashville, TN . A great "meat and three." I didn't even know what that was until I moved here. They have the best pot roast I have ever eaten. It's so delicious! We haven't eaten there in a while... Just in case you want to go, it's only guaranteed that they will have pot roast on Thursdays.

I have many more "favorite" restaurants. Rosa's Tortilla Factory, Luby's, Subway, Carrabba's, Blue Mesa, Outback... The list goes on.

I still have over 1,000 pictures to post from our trip to the DR. Maybe I'll get to that this week. Oh yeah, Blake and I bought a house almost a month ago. I spent all weekend pulling down two layers of grape border and wallpaper. I'm letting Blake take down all the nasty glue. Hopefully we will be able to paint tomorrow. We'll see!

We are safe and sound in the DR. I will post lots of blogs about our experiences when we get back... or during our 6 hour lay-over at JFK. Just wanted to share a few pictures!
