It’s that time of the year again! Brett and I will celebrate our 47th anniversary this weekend, and once again we’ll be letting someone else fix us brunch and dinner on Saturday (we don’t really eat lunch these days). As always though, the only things that will be made at home will be coffee in the morning, and a cocktail in the evening.

Since this is the last time for us to do this event in Tennessee, we’ve decided to focus on Southern-style cooking.

We’ve chosen Meridee’s Breadbasket in downtown Franklin for our brunch location. We’ve bought pastries from the bakery before, but there’s a nice restaurant that offers my favorite breakfast: eggs Benedict with country ham. They also offer several French toast selections that should interest Brett.

We were supposed to eat dinner at Tupelo Honey last year but it was so crowded and the wait so long we ended up sharing a banana split from the ice cream shop across the street instead! We know this year to come prepared and Brett’s already made our reservation. Fingers crossed we’ll finally get to have the fried chicken and waffles we’ve been craving.

The Day of No Cooking is still one of the best, if not the best, idea we have come up with for celebrating our anniversary. We’re looking forward to a lovely, relaxed day of good food and reminiscing without any work or dirty dishes. It’s the perfect way to honor our years together.
