Jami D: This supper club had a bit of a different format than usual and it made for an unforgettable night for sure. With it being so close to Christmas it's a little hard to find babysitters so Dan and Jami were kind enough to have Dan's sister Erin come down to watch their kids and our kids in another room while while we ate and hung out. While the kids ran around and the guys fried oysters and hush puppies in the garage, us ladies started out with the amazing Pimento Cheese toasts and Boiled Peanuts. It was my first time trying the peanuts and I was addicted. The oysters and hush puppies were also amazing. I was practically stuffed before we even sat down for dinner :)
Which brings me to the story. About 2 minutes before we sat down for our soup poor Reed got sick. All over about 3 rooms. As a result, Reagan also got sick, and I found Leyna gagging at the scene about to get sick herself. This is where you want to scream NOOOOOOO! Poor Dan and Jami. They had worked so hard on dinner and we started without them while they steam cleaned the carpet. Luckily they had a sense of humor about it and were able to join us before too long. Unfortunately Reed got sick again right next to the table while we were eating. I'm literally laughing out loud as I type this. You just have to laugh. This is what happens when you let kids come to supper club!
Really though, the food was so good it didn't ruin a thing. Shrimp and grits is one of my all time favorite dishes and this one was excellent. I haven't been so stuffed in a long, long time. And now that it's a day later, I could really go for another hush puppy ;)
