Friday!!! I had to take my car in to the dealership for routine maintenance this morning so I decided to treat myself to a breakfast expedition. I took a walk and found myself at Eats in Inner Richmond. Oh how I love my mom’s mantra of “I don’t cook on Friday.” While this tradition usually applies for dinner, I made an exception. It’s ok to bend the rules. In fact, I recommend it.

The coffee was warm, bitter, and blissful. They also serve fresh squeezed juices. I can’t resist freshly squeezed orange juice. It’s like a cup of sunshine. Fantastic!

Fo my meal, I ordered the Farmer’s Scramble. The ingredients include eggs, mushrooms, corn, zucchini, spring onions, basil, parsley, and goat cheese. It’s served with a choice of toast and roasted home potatoes or a salad. I went with the sourdough toast and the potatoes.

Why haven’t I eaten fresh corn with my eggs before? I’ve been missing out. And the goat cheese added a creaminess and saltiness that woke up my tastebuds. Also, the potatoes were a revelation. In my life, garlic is a daily part of my diet. So when the potatoes had whole roasted cloves of garlic with them, I was ecstatic. I will be borrowing this technique. I may have even taken one of the cloves and smeared it on my sourdough toast.

I’m a happy camper today. Good breakfast really is the way to start the day.
