Brunch, history and health

Brunch
Went to brunch at Miss Shirley’s. Ordered shrimp n grits, then when they arrived, I remembered ordering the same dish before and what a disappointment it was … then and now.

Miss Shirley’s used to serve a nice, traditional bowl of cheese grits with shrimp in the iconic “ gravy” topped with crumbled bacon.

Now they serve a deconstructed version, which is served on green fried tomatoes - 3 sliced of tomato topped with a dollop of dry grits and a decorative shrimp. looks more like a large canapé then shrimp and grits. I was sorely tempted to send it back but could truthfully only blame myself for not remembering how a classic southern brunch dish was turned into an abomination. Should have taken a photo to remind my future self.

History
OTOH, as we returned to the parking garage, we were delighted to see a vintage motorcycle with sidecar. (Pictured)

The city has added an information board about the history of Annapolis’ water system. No doubt it was cutting edge in its time (1842), but unfathomable the city is still using some of that 1849s infrastructure in 2025. Reminded me of the pensioners home that the city used up into the 1960s, in an unmodernized colonial era house in Londontowne (Oct visit).

Health
We left Annapolis and drove over to the community college for a wholistic health fair. Tickets on Event Brite at a nominal cost. Interesting presentation on communicating with your pets. Probably around 50 exhibitors. Worthwhile. (No photos)Read more
