an eggs benedict kind of morning

Saturday, October 19, 2013

Woke up this morning to a cool and rainy day, so I nabbed sister and drug her out to breakfast.

We have been talking about going around the corner to Josie's on 68 for breakfast, and this seemed like the perfect day.

 Loved the decorations on the porch.

I am really fascinated by all of the new pumpkins and gourds.

It was really gray out, so hard to get a clear photo.

 But. in all honesty we were there for one reason and one reason only. We had been told about the eggs benedict and cheese grits casserole.

 Not one of my prouder moments. Not only did I order it, but I ate every bite.  It was worth every last calorie. (I feel sure there couldn't have been more than 10 in the whole dish)

 So, I will be waddling through the rest of my day and am now calling myself I'm So Stuffed.

      It's a wonderful old house that they have converted. I'll have to share some inside shots sometime. Hmmmm I guess that means another meal there.

    Oh my, all I can say is that I am glad I'm seeing this after dinner, not before, because what I had planned would be out the window, and replace with this. That looks wonderful.
