No Phone? No Worries…

“No phone? No pressure. No worries. I’m not addicted to my phone. Really. Or am I?”

A broken phone and only three days before we were due to leave the country for a fourteen day cruise. Seriously? It’s not like I hadn’t dropped my smartphone hundreds of times before, but when it landed face down on the wood floor this time…

Lots of awesome articles in April’s edition of  SIBYL Magazine: For the Spirit and Soul of Woman, written by women willing to expose their souls and share their personal journeys. Are you shackled to your phone or laptop? Come find encouragement in my story, No Phone? No Worries on page 18.

Excited about Eating by Ernie Hiers

This edition of Excited about Eating takes us to Millstone Bake House & Provisions in downtown Davidson, NC. This bakery/restaurant uses organic, natural and local ingredients in all of their food. 

 

When you first walk in, it appears to be primarily a bakery. But, they also offer a variety of salads, sandwiches, and specials to satisfy your lunchtime appetite.

Dora here. This place would be a perfect choice for a lazy Saturday morning, especially during the warmer weather when you could sit outside. Do NOT plan to go here if you’re in a hurry. It was jammed, and service, while helpful, was a tad slow.

For lunch, I chose the Grilled Ham & Cheese, chili and fries. The sandwich was loaded with real cooked ham, not typical deli ham, and grilled to perfection. The half sandwich was larger than most full sandwiches, and I liked the little kick from the spicy mustard. The chili was full of favor, light on meat but loaded with multi-types of beans. The shoestring fries are my favorite, and I had to fight my wife off from eating all of them. 
Grilled Ham & Cheese, chili, and fries
What? I did not steal any of those pencil-thin fries!! You lucked out on the soup, too, because I prefer only pinto beans in my chili. And it’s a good thing I ordered iced tea and not a latte. I would’ve laughed if they set that coffee cup in front of me! What do you think? How’s this for perspective?
Good thing I ordered the iced tea! I would’ve laughed at the size of this coffee cup.

The Ham and Asparagus Quiche was a good choice. Although I’m not a huge fan of asparagus, it wasn’t overpowering. Everything came together in a light and fresh combination.
