A Super Bowl Sunday!

Packers vs Steelers, Us vs. Food. Today was an ultimate day for "our team!"
As you all know (and if you don't click here) Todd won the "When Your Team Wins" Super Bowl Contest!
$1000.00 worth of food from some of the greatest Jackson restaurants! (Bravo-Broadstreet-SalNMookies)

Today-right at 4 o'clock-we were sitting in our den when "Shave and a Haircut" Knock came booming on our doors. That could only mean 1 thing-Jeff Good was in our presence. 

If you aren't from the Metro-Jackson area, the name Jeff Good might not mean much to you-or it might...he is super popular. Let me give you a quick overview-I have heard him referred to as "King Midas" as in everything he touches turns to gold. He owns 3 of the best, most popular restaurants in Jackson, 1 catering business, is into all sorts of things fun like the new zippity doo dah parade....he could run for governor of the great state of Mississippi and win-Hands down. You meet him-you love him-he is a giver-an all around awesome guy-a man of service...and that is the most important thing. (and no-we did not get paid to say that)

This is my stalker photo-Todd insisted on helping. I think he was making sure there wasn't something he wanted to store away in the mailbox for himself. 
Jeff came bustling in delivering food-back to his car for more food-back in the house. It was a bit overwhelming! He gave us a run down on how to keep it warm-what "accessories" went with what meal....we chatted...Madyson showed him all her artwork, told him about our soon to be new kitchen...it was fabulous. Then he left. and this is what we had!



When I took this out the package-I licked the package...it was soooo good. Didn't know I had some of it on my forehead when guests arrived....lack of self control=totally worth the tiramisu 


That lemon tart----oh my!




4 pizzas-Meat Packing District (Joseph's favorite) Riker's Island (todd's favorite) Park Avenue (MINE!) Cheese-Madyson
The Food was AMAZING. The hummus, spinach & artichoke dip, wings, pizza,...ahhhhhhhh.
Byrds and Lubys arrive first-they were starving!

Chowing down.....

Charlie was all smiles as he ate his red velvet cupcake!
Did I mention we are all huge dessert lovers? hahahaha
But the best part of the whole deal?
Those 2 precious little gift cards! They each hold hundreds of dollars that we will be spending on lunch for some extremely deserving women in a few weeks! We have chosen to donate the food to "Matt's House" a rescue house for women who are in abusive relationships. We could have just had food donated there-but we are in this game to serve-so we will be picking up the food and going there and serving the ladies and spending time with them. I can not wait! Thank you so much to Jeff and his team for putting on this great contest and going over and beyond our expectations!
