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.
Belated anniversary greetings! I trust the no cooking was lovely, as always.
We won’t know until tomorrow but I’m pretty sure we’re going to be very satisfied. We’ve eaten at Tupelo Honey before and everything always been delicious. We like that they will let us share plates as a regular serving is always too much for both of us these days.
Happy Anniversary! I love your no cook tradition. Those sound like yummy choices. These is a newish restaurant in the area that does chicken and waffles and my DH loves them. He suggests that restaurant whenever he goes out with his two former co-workers to solve the problems of the industry and the world.
Believe it or not, neither of us has ever had chicken and waffles! I’m the chicken half of the equation, and Brett loves waffles, so hopefully this will satisfy both of us, and something we’d love to have again. Our anniversary is actually on Monday, but restaurants are closed that day so we decided to go this weekend instead.
