Just Another Waste of Space

Alright, I think I may have mentioned Mimi’s before when I went with Kadie but I feel I must mention yet again my awesome visit to this great place.

After really craving some Fazolli’s, not being able to find my wallet, then finally finding my wallet Adam and I took off to Knoxville for food.  Instead of going to Fazolli’s we went to Mimi’s Cafe in Turkey Creek and I’m pretty sure I can speak for Adam when I say we made a good choice.

The first thing we saw when we entered around 9PM was a huge plate of all the deserts they have… and man they all looked amazing.  We were seated by the manager who then sent the server to us.  Our server was very friendly and gave great suggestions for starters, main course, and dessert.

Since last night was the end of Mimi’s “Seasonal” menu Adam and I both decided to get the Lamb Shank and a starter of Fried Pickles.  The pickles are pretty much what you would expect, breaded slices of dill pickle that was dropped in a fryer with some ranch and thousand island dressing for dip.  The lamb was sooo yummy and just fell right off the bone it was beyond amazing.  It did come with broiled asparagus which wasn’t bad, but it is asparagus which I don’t really like so I tossed mine over to Adam.

At the end of our meal we had to give in and get some dessert (it was yummy when I went with Kadie so I really couldn’t turn it away this time).  Instead of getting the “Trio” dessert I got the full brownie and Adam had the Bread Pudding.  As you can see from the picture above the brownie is HUGE!  I actually couldn’t eat all of it and took half of it home to eat (as I’m writing this even).

As if that wasn’t a great visit the Manager came over to our table and gave us 4 rather large muffins to try out and suggested we visit more often.  We actually got the first muffin from the new “Seasonal” batch that starts today!

Oh, as a side note: Mimi’s Closes at 10PM on Wed and we were there well after close (I think it was about 10:30 when we left)  So we were those guys and they still gave us great service and let us leave with some extra awesome treats.

I got a few packages from some friends for my birthday.  I’m a fat kid so each package I received had cookies and/or brownies in them which was awesome!  I posted a picture on Twitter a while back since the site was down and Kate made me promise to put more pictures up.  Here are the ones I have.  Hope you enjoy.

I also got to spend the weekend with my family which was really nice.  I really should do it more but somehow manage to not spend time with them.  No pictures of this great outing, but I did enjoy food that was involved in Sunday’s cook-out for Dave and Me.

That’s right. It’s a Holiday! At least for Americans it is a holiday so Happy 4th everyone! Hope most of you enjoyed shooting fireworks (or at least seeing some).

Today I got a super cool package from my Kat. She rocks, just in case you didn’t already know. This is a super cool happy holiday, thanks for being cool type of package full of cool stuff that took time and effort which makes it that much better!  I took a few picks of the things that I found inside!

Okay.. so maybe the brownie Sunday (last picture) wasn’t really in the package.. but it was a lot of awesome and all I was expecting was brownies so YAY!.  Hope Kat is enjoying her time with her family right now in FL! That’s really all I wanted to say.  Now I must go eat me some brownies
