DINNER 218: Sunday, August 6, 2006

Home from Memphis. The trip home was pretty good — we made it in less than 8 hours, including a leisurly stop fo r brunch at Brooks Shaw’s Old Country Store at Casey Jones Village (the best whistlestop between Memphis & Nashville, if their website is to be believed) in Jackson Tennessee (we were listening to a Johnny Cash CD and it happened to play “Jackon” just as we were pulling into town!).

While everyone else ordered brunch items, I took advantage of the buffet. The buffet was huge. It was really, really big. I enjoyed sampling their Beef Tips n’ Mushrooms, Chicken n’ Dumplins’, Meat Loaf, Collard Greens, Turnip Greens, Green Beans, Mac n’ Cheese, Mashed Potatoes n’ Gravy, Banana Pudding.

Once we got home, Wendy & I ordered in for dinner — LaRosa’s for dinner — sausage & cheese pizza for me, Deli Cibatta for Wendy and set to unpacking and relaxing.
