When you start a journey there is excitement and hope for that unknown experience and
Great Expectations for a unexpected epiphany.
May 12th My journey began at the Waffle Shop on 23rd St. I cannot give you the prices
because my breakfast was paid for by a friend; however, I can tell you I had been
wanting a waffle for a very long time (3 years at least) but previous waffles had a grainy
taste and always left me feeling there had to be a better one somewhere, so I ordered
the Pecan Waffle. My taste buds were on High Alert. The waitress returned to inform me
they were out of Pecans, so I ordered a plain Waffle. The waffle tasted wonderful, but I
never thought I would have to tell them I wanted it on the crisp side and not pale and
limp, so what I got was pale and limp though it tasted great; also, the coffee was really
good. I give it 2 stars...**
May 13th I decided to try the IHOP at the corner of 23rd St and 231. Of course I knew
before hand it would be expensive. I ordered coffee and reviewed the menu. They had
a Senior 2,2,2 for $5.99, so that is what I ordered. 2 eggs (over medium), 2 pancakes,
and 2 strips of bacon. It was great! The eggs were cooked with the whites done and the
yellow runny; the pancakes were thick and brown, and the bacon was crisp though a little
on the thin side. I used the pecan syrup and ate the whole thing. A little pricey for every
day because the total came to $8.50 plus I left a $2.00 tip. I had about a minute wait time
to be seated, but the waitress took my coffee order immediately and once I put down the
menu she was there to take my order. I give it 3 stars...***
May 14th I drove out to Coram's on Hwy 231. It was great to get to see Mary
again (she is the head cook) as she had transferred from Coram's on 23rd to Hwy 231
about 3 years ago. I ordered a 1,1,1, which is one egg, one pancake, and one strip of
bacon. As I expected, the service as well as the food was excellent. I would definitely eat
there every day except that both my automobiles tend to drink gas like I drink water and it
is a little far for me to travel just for breakfast. I give it 4 stars...****
May 16th I drove over to the Steak & Eggs on Hwy 98, now called The Hen House (New
Owners) and their sign said "2 eggs, grits, toast or biscuit for $1.79" so that is what I
ordered. The two waitresses seemed friendly enough and the coffee was good; however,
when I received my order I only had to look at it to know one egg was over cooked (I
specifically asked the waitress for the white to be done and the yellow runny.), but the
waitress immediately ordered a second egg. The waitress asked me if I wanted butter for
my grits (I told her no), but then I realized there was no butter on my toast either. Not a
good way to start my day. I give it 1 star...*
As you can see I've skipped May 15th because on Sunday I leave my house at 8:15 for Sunday School and as I have been sleeping later than usual I figured I would not have time to eat, return home, feed my feral cats, take my medication, and make it to SS on time, so I fixed frozen French Toast with butter and no syrup and coffee and enjoyed every mouthful. I do miss seeing all the wonderful people I use to have breakfast with, I miss their smiles and those wonderful hugs, but until my quest if over I will have to make do with my own company (auk) and ask God to be my co-traveler.
More Later....May God Bless each of you; bringing you peace, happiness and prosperity.
