Ruby Slipper

I had a delicious filling breakfast at the Ruby Slipper yesterday. Not because it was voted “Best Breakfast/Brunch Spot” 3 years in a row, but because it’s located right across the street from where I’m staying. 😉

I had the ‘Eggs Blackstone’, consisting of “applewood-smoked bacon, grilled tomato served over a buttermilk biscuit, topped with 2 poached eggs, finished with hollandaise”. I asked them to skip the tomato (which they did- lots of places still leave it and the juices ruin my meal- I love catsup but can’t stand tomatoes!).

It was hard to make up my mind. Their menu offered lots of choices that all sounded delicious. I was headed to the Workboat Show so skipped the ‘award winning bloody mary’s’ too (tho I don’t like tomato juice either, the mimosas looked just as good).

 I sat at the bar, since even tho it was pouring rain, the outside tables were all taken. The place was packed. I still got served quickly tho. My breakfast was nice and hot, coffee too. They skimped a little on the hollandaise sauce, but the biscuits were very large (and fresh home made).

I’m running late this morning, I’ve got to pick up a car and head over to HOS. I’m hoping to get a job interview. So will probably skip breakfast today, but I think I will stop in again tomorrow for another specialty and try a mimosa. 🙂

PS- these photos are all from my iPod, it’s so bad compared to my regular cameras. 🙁

Easy Caramel Sticky Buns

Easy Caramel Sticky Buns Recipe – Kraft Recipes.

I do love sweets and I miss having them out here. Usually, working offshore, we eat damn good. The cooks are always fixing up all kinds of goodies for us. We have full cooked meals 4 times a day and then snacks halfway between meals.

Since I’ve been working in Africa, I haven’t seen the options we usually have for food. The dessert tray is most definitely not up to the usual standards.

I get all these emails every day (I subscribe), showing me all these delicious looking foods. I can’t wait to get home to try out the recipes!

This one looks super simple. I probably already have the ingredients in the house. 🙂
