When you read the title of today’s blog post, you were probably confused–enemy territory..what?
Enemy territory = Auburn.
Yep. This Alabama grad and Alabama fan spent the AU/GA game weekend in Auburn and it was a madhouse. My best friend and her husband recently relocated to Auburn due to a new job, so I ventured down Friday morning to visit!
Even though Dustin (who is a huge AL fan) went to Auburn, I never knew him in college so my only visit to Auburn was once in high school to watch a football game with a friend and her family. Auburn is a quaint little town–and Opelika is the cutest–but it’s not Tuscaloosa, and Tuscaloosa will always be my favorite!
We ate lunch at Hamilton’s after driving around 30 minutes searching for a parking space. I mentioned to Janie that it was too bad we weren’t in college and knew all the good places to park where no one else did aka a back alley way. We used to have some pretty reliable parking places in downtown Tuscaloosa in case we couldn’t find an actual parking space.
Hamilton’s was really good! I had blackened Mahi fish tacos and Janie had a toasted chicken salad sandwich and lobster bisque.
This picture was taken a little before midnight, and I’m happy to note that we weren’t the oldest people out. We look tired because we didn’t nap before going out that night–anyone else used to do that?
The next morning was a lazy morning of drinking coffee and watching College Gameday
Each year Janie and I get together either in November or December to make a holiday themed treat. This year we decided to try making iced sugar cookies that were pieces of pumpkin pie. I will say, they tasted AMAZING and turned out looking pretty good. Next time we’ll use actual piping bags instead of ziplocs with the tips cut off ha! #improvising
Not bad for being iced with ziploc baggies!
