Our continued tour of Kentucky culinary haunts continued today. We went of the Butchertown Grocery for brunch and it was out of this world delicious. It was one of our favorite meals and dining locations. This is also one of my sister’s favorites.

Before we went to brunch I helped Uncle E clean the boat to get it ready for an afternoon ride. They have a very nice boat and we were going to go for a ride on the Ohio river in the afternoon. Cleanup was fairly quick and we returned to get everyone to go to Butchertown Grocery.

Chicken and Waffles

Eva and I split their Chicken and Waffles. It was so good. We polished that giant plate off along with a side of bacon because, well, bacon. Andrew had a couple of poached eggs, bacon and some incredible has browns. I had plenty of those, too. they had cheese in them, amazing!

After brunch we took a walk through The Flea. There I met the owner of Froggy’s Pop Corn. They had tons of options for samples and I really enjoyed the Mexican Street corn flavor. I got Mexican street corn ever single chance I got all week and as a popcorn flavor that was excellent. Andrew is the king of all samples and he had plenty of them himself. He liked Cinnamon Bun the most.

We were getting hot and so it was time to get out on the water.

On the boat

With all the rain this year the Ohio was running very high. Uncle E. navigated around all the floating debris like a champ. Both of the kids loved being on a bot for the first time. We got a nice ride in and got off the water before the skies opened and unleashed a fury of torrential rain. We watched on the TV as the rain rolled in and completely obscured the bridges downtown, bridges that we were close to while we were on the water. I’m glad that we turned in when we did.

Andrew's Birthday Brunch

I have had a tradition with Eva to take her for breakfast on her birthday. This year we had a very nice one and last year we had one that we would never forget. With Andrew I haven’t done this but am starting to make that a tradition also. So, this morning we had dentist appointments and they were very good. We were over in North Attleboro so we stopped at Northworks for a late lunch, a birthday brunch. He was good at breakfast.

After our meal we ran a few errands and Andrew was getting tired. He actually fell asleep in the carriage at Market Basket. Then he woke up and stood up in the seat so that I could carry him through the store. I did and he feel back asleep. One of my favorite feelings in the world is when my children fall asleep in my arms. That is not just because I’d get a few hours to myself. His warm little breath on my neck and how he’s gone so relaxed in my arms. It is one of my favorite moments that happens often.
