Marathon Day in Starkville

The day began w/a lovely Southern brunch at T's and ended with a dance at the Shrine Club to the music of the "Cracker Jacks." The interesting part of the band is they are our age and have played at most of the weddings of ex-patriates from the Delta who have Memphis weddings. They play all the good music of the 60's and 70's and although we left before it was over, I am sure they ended w/"Shout." Sandwiched between these two landmark events were an open house at another Pike's house in Starkville, a very interesting basketball scrimmage and and a very boring football game v. MTSU that we won.

What's not to love about Rocking Rellenos for breakfast the next morning to top off the weekend? Everyone at my B n B gets Rocking Rellenos which is basically a egg strata w/cheese and green chiles. It is yummy. It is no carb. It replaces the standard monkey bread, hash brown potato casserole and sausage egg bake that Camille likes so much. After our guests left for home in Atlanta, I did all the laundry, etc. before I left so I would not have to rush down there this week to get ready for company. We are going to celebrate no company by going to Shipley's for hot donuts on Sunday morning. We play KY this weekend in football and have a basketball exhibition game after the football game so I am excited about that and Casper will wear his bumble bee suit all weekend. He looks adorable.
