Finally went to Empire Cafe over in Montrose for some delicious breakfast. Honestly, I have tried several times to make it over to this beloved hotspot, but sometimes plans fall through. Today though, Mark & I both enjoyed a delicious brunch (favorite meal) on Empire's patio. I had a fluffy gingerbread waffle, and Mark ordered the
Roma; scrambled egg whites on foccacia bread with basil pecan pesto, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese; served with cheddar hash brown potatoes and fresh fruit. [note: i tried a bite of mark's dish. in doing so, successfully had scrambled egg whites and a tomato for the first time]

Then after a few errands with Mark, accompanied by fabulous Texas country music, I went to paint with Jacque. I may switch to the art school ;)
