FRIDAY JANUARY 1ST 2010

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We started the new year off at Skyway Jacks for breakfast.








They don’t have a liquor license there so can’t sell drinks. But they can give them away. So on new year’s morning they have complimentary bloody marys. Sweet.

















The breakfast menu must have at least 50 items on it. Including scrambled pork brains!!



And no, we didn’t order any.


Ross and I opted for the hog jowls, collard greens and black eyed peas, served over rice along with a cornmeal muffin instead. Yep, really did. It’s a traditional new year’s day meal
called “Hoppin Jack” and is said to bring prosperity and good luck to those who eat it. Often a shiny new dime is thrown in to the cooking pot. If you find it in your meal, you will have an extra portion of good luck.

In the afternoon Ross, Krista and I went to The Dali. It is a museum showing the works of Salvador Dali. He was the artist from Spain with the crazy mustache and painting things like clocks that were limp and melting over things. He always credited his wife, Gallah, from saving him from insanity. After viewing his artwork I’m not so sure she arrived in time. He was an incredible talent and we were glad the museum did such an excellent job explaining what most of the paintings represented.
