Due to my workload as of late… I’ve curbed my caffiene curbing, and resorted back to daily single-cups of a regular black blend.
This entry isn’t about that, as much as it is about Starbucks’ “Perfect Oatmeal”. I tried it on a whim… and it really lives up to it’s name.
It comes with your choice of 3 toppings: brown sugar, dried fruit, and a nut medley. Drop all three (light on the brown sugar) to make a perfect morsel to accompany a cup of joe. Although I was skeptical at first… I endorse this overpriced porridge immensely.
Upon a recent trip to Cracker Barrel for delectable evening breakfast excursion, I managed to wolf down an entire Sunrise Special. I’m talking EVERYTHING. For many, this is no amazing feat. But I am thin of a skeletal nature, and my stomach does not accommodate mass quantities of food very well. Usually when I eat at Cracker Barrel, I enjoy tasting a variety of different foods, but rarely do I finish it all.
During this meal, I killed off 3 scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, sugar-cured ham, AMAZING golden-cheese hashbrowns, a bowl of cinnamon apples, a bowl of grits, two orange slices AND a country biscuit. I made it half-way through my second “half-and-half”, or “Arnold Palmer” as they’re called in the Souf.
Usually when I eat this much, I feel sick afterwards. But not this time. I felt full of Southern goodness as me and my lady hopped into my big-ass truck and hit the road.
