There’s no way to add much to what Jeff said…he hit the nail on the head as usual! One big note of thanks to the folks who helped with prep on Thursday: Susie Balty-Stearns, Shana Kimball, Kate Daum, Shannon Riffe, Ian Bost, Matt Burton, Bridgette Carr, Silvio Medoro and, from what I hear, the best of the best: Francesca Medoro. (Please excuse any misspellings of names!) I promise I’ll join you all in June, when my class at EMU finishes. 
Regarding the chickens…I heard them clucking as I drove away at about 7:30 on Friday. I presume that they were all saying, “Goodbye TeacherPatti! See you next week!” in Chicken. That’s pretty sweet.
…without breaking some eggs. Thankfully, Scott MacInnis broke a whole bunch and made some awesome omelets today at Selma.
Scott described his omelets as French omelets, and I initially wasn’t sure what he meant. (I’m a simple girl; I don’t even spring for French vanilla ice cream :)). It turns out that French omelets are very simple–eggs and milk on the buttered skillet. In this case, Scott put some sage, rosemary and thyme (just one herb away from a song!) inside. The herbs brought out the rich flavor of the omelet and left a lovely taste in my mouth. On the side were fresh mushrooms and greens, nicely sauteed. Of course, Jeff’s awesome bread accompanied the meal.
As always, Lisa’s waffles and yogurt were available. I know it’s hard to not get the “special” (they are so tempting and so good!!), but I encourage you to try the waffles. They are rich and vanilla-y and today, you could get apples or blueberries on top. The blueberries were exactly what blueberries should be–plump, juicy, and bursting with flavor (literally–bursting! They exploded in my mouth like that gum they used to make, with the “surprise” burst in the middle).
The food at Selma is always excellent, but so is the company. It’s such a nice atmosphere and everyone is genuinely happy to be there. What a perfect way to start the day. If you are coming to Selma, then you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t come yet, then the only way to find out what it’s like is to come and experience it yourself!
See you next Friday!
