Brunch Before Buckles

It’s been a glorious, spring Sunday!  Adam and I have been having a grand day, although pretty soon I’m going to have to face the reality that I’ve got a test to study for.  Sleeping 10hours (11pm – 9am!) definitely put me in a good frame of mind.

Getting in 10minutes of strength and stretch moves before my shower this morning didn’t hurt my mood either.  Then Adam and I took a walk of sorts (1/2mile) to the Walgreens; I love being outside!!!  It didn’t take much for the husband to convince me that brunch was in order.

Our first stop was a restaurant right down the street from our apartment.

The menu looked good but we were the only people in the restaurant and it was just too weird so we split.

We ended up at JP Bullfeathers, which ended up being a great choice.  We want to go back for dinner asap.

When the waitress asked me if I wanted my Bloody Mary “regular, mild, or hot?” I knew we’d found a good spot.

I ordered the buttermilk pecan hot cakes for brunch.

They came with tangy apple butter instead of syrup, which I thought was a nice healthy spin.

And I asked for a side of fruit in place of bacon.

I ended up eating 2/3 pancakes and all of the fruit; it’s watermelon season!

Now it’s time to buckle down and get to work on Anthropology.  I’ve got a study date at the Spot so I’ll probably get dinner there.  Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Are you a Bloody Mary fan?  Tomato juice?  Vodka?  I don’t love vodka and I hate tomato juice but Bloody Marys are my favorite drink!

  1. I think we took the weather you’re supposed to have – there was snow on the ground when I woke up this morning! Unheard of for Dallas in March!

    I looooove pancakes and those look fabulous. Maybe I’ll have breakfast for dinner tonight…

  2. I don’t know why I think it’s so funny that you left because you were the only people there 🙂
    I’ve actually never had a bloody mary, because I don’t like tomato anything, but I’m planning on trying one soon whenever I get around to having a drink (I’ve only had a couple of beers in the past year, basically- just not into it anymore in general). Combining ingredients can be magicalll- I read the label on my A-1 sauce last week and was cracking up because it’s basically made completely of things I don’t like and would say I’d never eat, but it’s my favorite thing lately! Then again, cooking is totally like magic to me- I think I can’t do it, and people who can have some sort of superpower..
