...Errand Day...and no Movie Night...

...the Man and I ran errands all day yesterday...car inspections and oil changes...grocery shopping...you know that sort of day...

...and we usually make a little treat out of our wait time...by starting really early in the morning and having a big ole vegan brekkie...
...so that's just what we did...this little Mom and Pop café has a really big breakfast menu...and they have rice as a side dish...for breakfast...and I'd never heard of this until we moved here...grits are the southern breakfast staple...

...it seems to be very regional...and more prevalent in the counties close to South Carolina...which used to produce a lot of rice (in the 1800's)...but most of it seems to have moved further south now...to Louisiana and Mississippi...

...anywhoo...I ordered a side of rice with all the mix-ins from the veggie omelet...and a side of sliced tomatoes...and unlike when I ordered the same thing with hashed browns in North Dakota...our server didn't bat an eye...she charged me full price for the veggie omelet though...

...then there was no Movie Night as we met up with some old friends for dinner...and had a really lovely time...

...and now that all our errands/shopping are done we can look forward to a nice day off today...

~Have a lovely day!
