"Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity." `Voltaire
Well, although I have been neglecting my blog for quite a while, I have had a lot of "bloggy' ideas swirling through my brain. So, I decided that my next few posts would be a lot about food, eating and family fun. I have decided I've gotten pretty good at the eating part because I have the waistline to prove it!
I guess I'll begin by saying I've been on an eating frenzy. Not an Eat, Pray, Love type of food frenzy, but more like a Paula Deen/Butter Queen, "I'll eat anything that doesn't eat me first ," kind of food frenzy.
It all began at this place in Memphis called Brother Juniper's. According to my hubby, it has been voted Memphis' Best Breakfast or something along those lines. I've been on an egg "jag" lately, so I excitedly was ready to give it a try. I ordered the San Diegan which was a delicious open-face omelet on a bed of home fries and sour cream topped with portobellos, tomatoes, bacon, green onions, feta and cheddar cheeses. It's a Rachel Ray favorite! Yum-O!
The hubby opted for the open-face omelet called the Desperado: sauteed tomatoes, green onions, black beans, and salsa on a bed of avocado spread topped with mozzarella cheese and sour cream.
Collin ordered the pancakes with eggs and sausage. The pancakes were as big as his head and he didn't finish them.
Here's a tip: Brother Juniper's stays packed, so call ahead and make a reservation. The owner's wife just happened to be our server, and even she was shocked when we told her we waited over an hour for a table. (It was on a Saturday.) We will definitely give it a try again. Check it out if you are ever in Memphis!
