Pioneer Woman book signing + burgers, onion rings, french fries, fried pickles and milkshakes at 10:15 pm = one fantabulous night! We had to wait and weave in line for over 4 hours at Borders and, I might add , overlooked some pretty diverse books while doing so, but we finally got to her, Ree Drummond herself, aka The Pioneer Woman. What a sweet lady she is! And her husband, "Marlboro Man" and her two boys were there too. Seems to be such a precious family. Anyway, she was very sweet to all of us, took much time to chat with us while she was signing all of our 900 books and a really cool story is that she remembered me from when Ben and I met her in
NYC. I was hesitant to mention anything to her for the sake of looking like a stalker, but with a little prodding from my amigos I mentioned it. She really seemed as if she remembered and talked about how Ben was a football player and that she thought he was "darling." How fun!
After the signing we were famished! We zoomed over to a restaurant called Flip Burger. The owner/chef is on Top Chef. It was delicious. We literally hammered four sides in about two minutes. Then the burgers came, oh my, heaven...then topped 'er off with a Krispie Kreme doughnut milkshake. And yes, it had bits of doughnuts in it. Soooo good, soooo much fun!
When we got home, the Henderson kids and Whitney were passed out together in the office after a fun night with the daddy's!
