2 years ago....


...Ryan and I were just about to get married. July 22, 2006 was the day of our wedding. All our family and friends gathered in Jackson, MS for the big event. It really was a great day, everything we could have hoped for. Thank you to everyone who shared it with us.

Last night we celebrated our anniversary a little early with dinner at Jasper's Restaurant. It was quite possibly one of the best meals we have had in a really long time. I really don't remember a meal that we enjoyed each course as much as we did.

We ordered the Blue Cheese Potato Chips appetizer that is one of the signature dishes. It was good. I don't love Blue Cheese so it was a little overwhelming to me, but Ryan loved it. We then split a Jasper's Green Salad which was also really good. It had blue cheese crumbles and roasted pecans (mmm) and a really nice light vinaigrette dressing.

Jasper's is known for the their ribs so that is what Ryan ordered. It came with a hot potato salad, dressed with a creamy cheese sauce and topped with fried onion strings. The meal was absolutely delicious and Ryan let me sneak a few extra bites of the potatoes.

I ordered the Shrimp and Pork Tenderloin Brochette, substituting the rice for the sauteed zucchini and squash. The shrimp and pork and a great flavor, a little spicy but delicious. The zucchini, squash and carrots were shoestring style and had a nice Asian flavor on them. It was the first time in a long time I pretty much cleaned my plate.

For dessert we ordered the Cherry Limeade Pie. I must say it was one of the most refreshing desserts I have eaten at a restaurant. We polished it off in no time flat.
