Today I just got back from a trip up to Very-Northern-California to plant some alfalfa, take some data, and talk wild rice. Select members of my blog readership may be thinking, "But Corey, I thought you no longer worked with that company/project/group of crops." Those members would be correct. However, circumstances happened to give me the opportunity to revisit my stomping grounds one last time (at least, I hope that was the last time).
My brunch review for this week is for the Blackberry Patch diner in Burney, California. After a productive early-morning meeting/brainstorm session, Tami (my temporary cohort) and I drove through Burney and stopped for some coffee and food. I was disappointed with my first sip of coffee, but my general love of coffee and slight exhaustion led to an acceptance and perhaps satisfaction with all three cups. I ordered bacon and scrambled eggs with hash browns and sourdough toast. Diner toast is my favorite toast. I cannot, in good conscience, put as much butter on my toast as diners tend to put on toast. But it is so delicious. I ate everything. Also, when in the history of a bacon and eggs meal has a restaurant given anyone 5 complete, non-stingy pieces of bacon? Answer: today, April 26, 2013, in Burney, CA. Blackberry Patch also got bonus points for having both classic and green Tabasco sauce on every table.
My California State EMT card came in the mail today. It's super official looking. Maybe now someone will hire me. Until then, I am content as a temp part-time science teacher/permanent part-time viewer of L&O. Sorry for the lack of pictures. I never ever remember to bring a camera anywhere. But here's a picture of the dog that greets me when I pull into work everyday. His name is Willow.
