Mr. Hawthorne and I always
like to have breakfast before we head back
for the 5-hour trip home.
Most restaurants are in the opposite direction
from the way we're heading,
but this is the only one not out of the way.
It's actually right down the street from Maxine's
so we thought we'd give it a try.
Mr. Hawthorne's breakfast:
whole wheat toast
eggs over medium
corned beef hash
sausage biscuit
Mr. Hawthorne, when ordering,
happened to look back in the kitchen
and saw a huge tray of biscuits
which were obviously homemade.
"Are those homemade biscuits?"
The hair-netted woman, whom I assumed to be Suzie,
spat out, "Of course they are!"
Heh.
Not a bad breakfast at all.
It's hard to screw up breakfast,
although I've seen it done.
Mr. Hawthorne also ordered a side of grits.
They came with some sort of packaged
non-butter spread
that didn't even melt on the hot grits.
It just stayed on top of the grits
in a jaundiced lump, mocking me.
I believe it's chemical composition
might have been
one molecule away from plastic or rubber.
Don't know what it was
but won't be trying it again.
