March of last year, a year and four months ago, my wife and I were just racing home from Miami Beach ahead of Covid before the country shut down. After being sequestered for a year and 4 months, we decided to try the waters again...and unfortunately, I think we’re going to be…..just before the country shuts down again. We’re heading south and that can’t be the greatest decision 2 grown people have made. For a bit of normalcy, we started by stopping at the Fort Jesse Cafe in Normal, Illinois. This has traditionally been our breakfast stop any time we head south. It did not fail to give us a sense of well being. This service is still excellent, the food is still delicious, the atmosphere is still familiar and welcoming. Even my one egg over easy with sausage links and sourdough toast was something unexpectedly delicious. My wife on the other hand, doubled the eggs over easy, had some great hash browns with crispy bacon and a side of sourdough toast. And I have to admit, when I saw it, I got quite jealous. Shame on me.
And so it begins.More
