As you might remember, I love The Village Deli in Bloomington Indiana (my sweethearts hometown).

The Village Deli…

My sweetheart…

I usually get the VVD sandwich with homemade potato chips, but this time we showed up before they were serving lunch. At first I was disappointed, but then I realized it was a chance to try something different. I always get the same thing because I only get to eat there once or twice a year, so I told my self to seize the opportune moment (as Captain Jack Sparrow would say) and order the veggie Eggs Benedict.

I was not disappointed. The meal didn’t come with potatoes, and I love to smear hollandaise sauce on a crispy hash brown, so I ordered a side of home fries. I was thinking a scoop on the side, but no….a whole bowl.

We also had fabulous crunchy ice…strange thing to note, but not if you enjoy crunchy ice.

John had his standard eating out breakfast fancied up a bit with an English muffin…

Thank you Village Deli for bring out the pirate in me.
