Things I Didn't Realize I Didn't Know

We're back from beautiful Shelby, North Carolina and just as soon as possible we'll have photos uploaded to share. Needless to say, Bryson got lots of attention from his family and it was hard to leave all the love. :-)

And just because I need a comedic break from my "OMG-I'm-Never-taking-Vacation-Again" Day... here's what I didn't even realize I didn't know:

1. Pimento Cheese is a really popular sandwich
2. "Butt Bone" is a cut of meat offered for sale at local grocery stores in Shelby
3. You can get AWESOME Pad Thai at Joe's Place in downtown Shelby
4. Shelby is also known as the "Livermush Capitol of the World"

(Check out the links! What did we do before Google??)

I was completely lacking in that good ol' adventuresome spirit and did not try the pimento cheese, Livermush, or Butt Bone (we're still not sure how you use a Butt Bone). But I can tell ya that if we were still in Shelby I'd be going back for more of that Pad Thai!

I must be hungry...

Hi Heidi! I'm so glad to see that you guys have a blog! Yay for blogs! ;) Also, being a lifelong Shelby-uh-ite, I can honestly say I have never had pimento cheese, I stopped eating Livermush when I was around five and able to comprehend "Liver" and "Mush" (can't be good!) and I have never had "Butt bone" per se, but I have had Boston Butt. Hmmmmm, I wonder if that's the same? heh! I hated that I missed you guys, but congratulations on your beautiful Bryson! He is such a cutie!
