Well, I was hoping to wait and post about our adventure to Oak Island once I took the pictures off of our camera. Well, you’ll just have to wait to see that post and those pictures until I get my lazy butt moving on that one.
Ah yes, the weekend. We stayed at home and finally went to Piedmont for brunch after our required visit to the Durham Farmers Market. I got the Eggs Piedmont (their version of Eggs Benedict, with pancetta and roasted-tomato hollandaise), and Oak got the Croque Madame. Oak’s sandwich was the clear winner. The only thing we were confused about is why the egg was served on top of the sandwich. Does that mean you’re supposed to eat it with a fork and knife? I told him just to stick the egg inside the sandwich, but my search on google shows an awful lot of croque madames with the egg on top, so I’m baffled. At least one other person I could find put the egg inside the sandwich! Clearly it’s just for presentation, right? Well maybe we committed a major faux-pas. I guess we’ll have to figure that out before we go visiting any Paris bistros. Anyway, the brunch was delicious. I topped it off with a bloody mary with an Okra pickle. Yummy!
Hopefully we’ll get to do this farmers market-brunch routine a few more times before the end of the summer. There’s also brunch at Alivia’s and Rue Cler that sound good.
