Mom had her retirement age birthday yesterday and the whole family made it to the brunch celebration. Not that she can actually retire just yet, but any excuse to eat big eh? So we went to the Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle, GA, reknowned for its fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, and mac-n-cheese among other typical southern specialties. Bad time to try low-carb diet...but I made the best of it. Said no to the mashed potatoes, dressing and gravy. Tried awesome turnip greens, butter peas, squash with bacon, mac cheese (had to), pork bbq, and a tiny pinch of corn muffin. The food was like most southern food i've had actually, which is fine, but not what i really eat these days. so i dont know if the menu is awesome, but the decor is fun and we ate in the charleston room. all in all, mom loved it and it was her favorite birthday in a while. i think she just loved grandkids crawling all over her. ;-)
