I had intended to have Marie Calender's today, but around 11 am, my mouth sent a ransom note: "We have the stomach hostage. Give us Arnold's Country Kitchen or you'll never eat ice cream again."
I don't generally believe in negotiating with terrorists, but what could I do?
So down Rosa Parks to 8th Ave I went, not really minding being sorta "out" in this gorgeous weather. Even the bums loitering at the bus station seemed to have a spring in their step.
I was kinda hoping for country fried steak, but that's only on Thursdays, and I was momentarily tempted by the fried chicken, but I went for my standard: roast beef, mashed, green beans, mac and cheese.
I am pleased to inform you that the roast beef today is sheer perfection --- nicely pink and tender, ohmigod. The mac-n-cheese is still a little too peppery for my taste, but it's still a cheesy, gooey kiss of heaven. I really don't need the three "veggies" -- esp since two are starches - but it's so hard to choose. I mean, I passed up fried green tomatoes this time.
Have I mentioned how much I like Arnold's staff? Most of them have been there forever, and they obviously take pride in being a part of a Nashville tradition.
I tried to take a photo of my lunch with my cell phone, but I think company email is blocking it. I am disappointed.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to finish my lunch.
