Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. William and I did! On Friday night we tried a restaurant I have been wanting to try since we moved to Birmingham,
Little Donkey. It has very mediocre reviews on Urbanspoon so I was a little apprehensive, but then I found out it was voted
Birmingham's Best New Restaurant, and I had to try it! William had his usual Mexican dish, the Chile Relleno with the Street-Style Corn and La Concoction (rice, beans, and a poached egg on top- amazing!) and I had the Hickory Smoked Brisket Torta with La Concoction, and a margarita of course. I can best summarize the food as a Mexican-Southern food fusion, it was delicious and not too pricey for the quality!
Fast forward through a day of watching football (Auburn played better than anticipated, but could not pull off the win--sad face) to Sunday where William and I headed to Lowes to start a garden. We are definitely beginners in the garden department so we have decided to start with a little, edible herb garden. To my surprise it is super easy to do and now I have basil, chives, cilantro, and rosemary at my fingertips! I cannot wait to expand... So for those of you interested in doing this here we go:

| Cilantro |

| Rosemary |

| Chives |

| The lady at Lowes told us to use Miracle Grow Potting Mix |

Basil, Rosemary, Cilantro & Chives
So all you have to do is remove label to the plant, place in pot with soil, and give them some water. Ta da! I think we spent $40 dollars for- 5 plants, 3 pots, and soil (and we have plenty left over). No more having to spend $5 for a little bit of an herb at the grocery store!
Happy Gardening!
