For a second day in a row, I got to spend time with some of my favorite people, but today I got to spend a lot of time with my peeps. First up, breakfast with the Triple J Gang at Josie’s, a favorite breakfast joint in Chevy Chase. It was the start of my last vacation day, but our retired Judy was the most envied for never returning to work today or any other. Lucky girl. At Josie’s, they ask you how you’d like your bacon cooked: regular, crispy or limp. There’s something sad about limp bacon, but I digress. In the early afternoon, not-rental-sister Kelly came down from NKY for more victual adventures. Instead of another nosh event at Don Jockey in Midway, we took Kelly to Zim’s in the old courthouse downtown. Mom, Stacy, and I have been a couple of times, but Kelly was a Zim’s virgin. Sadly, today’s cook failed miserably on the hushpuppies. They were burnt, nearly black, and they served them anyway. It was definitely not up to Chef Ouita’s standards, but there you have it. It has been hit or miss at Zim’s the last few times I’ve been there, which is pretty disappointing because Ouita is a Kentucky treasure. Still, crispy cornmeal balls didn’t dampen our day! We had a good time like we always do. Spending good, quality time with Mom, the not-rental family, and my work family makes for an excellent Friday. Mission accomplished.
