To celebrate it, we wanted to do something simple and our family loves to go out and eat brunch. So we went to Sunday mass and afterwards I took them to The Briar Patch, which is a brunch place in the city of Winter Park, FL. It is my favorite restaurant when it comes to brunch pretty much because they carry an item called the corned beef hash benedict, and man do I love corned beef!
My dad was unsure of what he wanted to order because he thought that the corned beef hash benedict sounded really good but he was very intrigued by the skirt steak & eggs combo, which is what he actually ordered (pictured above). He was kind of disappointed by it though because he was not a fan of the chimichurri that they put on top and he thought that the benedict looked better.
The rest of us did order a version of an eggs benedict and boy were we stuffed. Afterwards, just to get rid of the egg-y aftertaste in our mouths we ordered a scoop of ice cream to share, and Briar Patch makes all of their ice cream in house. We ordered the rocky road because that is my dad's favorite and oh my goodness, it was probably the best rocky road ice cream I ever had. The chocolate was definitely very rich and they used walnuts rather than peanuts.
Afterwards, when we went to the car we all pretty much were suffering from food itis and we all just wanted to take a nap. Most of us slept in the car, but we did walk around too just to make sure we weren't too bloated. My parents also flipped out because Eric and I split the entire check and they were definitely not expecting that.
