Where the Heart is

Well how much trouble can it BE to find shrimp and grits in Galveston?

Needless to say, we worked up quite an appetite on the beach (but then we work up an appetite doing laundry ... sometimes I wonder if we are part Hobbit). We had carefully researched the matter of shrimp and grits, and based on reviews and photos, determined that the BEST to be found would be at the Mosquito Cafe. Alas, we may never know. By the time we got there, they had stopped serving breakfast and they ONLY serve said dish at BREAKFAST.

Hmmph. So we walked down the street to the Sunflower Bakery and Cafe whose food had also interested us. No shrimp and grits, but they were still serving breakfast and guess what. They had pecan pancakes. And what could be more Texan than pecans? Was there a choice?

The walk was also a revelation of tropical flowers planted everywhere about, which warmed the cockles of the gardener's soul.Läs mer
