I met The Pioneer Woman!!!

So if you know me at all, then you know that I love reading thepioneerwoman.com. Actually, my husband is the one who got me addicted to her website. He was looking around on the web for a steak with a blue cheese cream sauce, and her website was the first to come up.   Here is the steak that I first made from her website:

It was delicious!  It was very rich and we thought that it caused another case of pancreatitis, but it wasn't pancreatitis at all, it was a black widow spider (another story for another time).  

I then went on to make the famous "Marlboro Man Sandwich".  It was an instant success and according to my husband is the "best sandwich he has ever eaten", and he loves food!  I could go on and on about all of the great food. The great thing about the website is all of the step by step pictures while you are cooking to make sure that you haven't messed it up. 

The thing that got me completely hooked besides the great photography and stories, was how she met her husband, Marlboro Man.  It was such a great story that I stayed up late reading it and was telling everyone about it (My staff can testify).  I related to her very easily because I grew up in a suburb of Atlanta and then met my cowboy/farmer and moved to a really small town in South Carolina. 

This past Saturday, The Pioneer Woman was in Augusta which is about an 1 1/2 hours from home. David and I left Sarah Katherine with Grandma and made a date night out of it. It was the best date night by far!  
Here I am with Ree Drummond aka The Pioneer Woman. 

Right before her talk, my husband leaves to go to the restroom.  The event had started and David had not returned.  I forgot how long he had been gone, but he then walks back in with whom, no other than Marlboro Man himself and Ree Drummond's two young boys. 

 He had left me to go and talk with Marlboro Man! It was quite funny because everyone was cheering for her family and my husband was caught in the middle of it. He looked like a deer in the headlights!  He comes back and says what a really nice guy he is and that we might be selling them some cows.
 Only my husband!
