Sophie cleaned up her room in the morning and then worked in the afternoon on schoolwork for Monday. She's missing Monday to get the first set of her teeth pulled at the dentist, which is necessary to make room for the permanent teeth that are erupting behind her baby teeth right now. Hannah ran errands with me in the morning and then worked by herself all afternoon to thoroughly clean and straighten then playroom. She also organized drawers in her room and cleaned out under her bed.
By 5pm we were all tired from our day of working and decided to go out for dinner. I suggested the local Italian place, but Sophie wanted fried chicken so we decided to venture to Southern Kitchen in New Market.
This diner has been around since the 1950s and is known for its fried chicken, peanut soup, and homemade pies. Between the four of us, we sampled two of those three. Sophie and Charles got fried chicken dinners, Hannah got chicken tenders and fries (of course), and I had a bowl of peanut soup and a BLT sandwich. All the food was delicious, which is not what I remembered from the last time we ate here about four years ago.
I'm now thinking this is a place that will be in our regular rotation, especially since Sophie now wants fried chicken any time she can get it. We were there around 6pm on a Saturday night, and the place was hopping. We had to wait (though not long) for a table, and the waitresses were bustling about filling orders. I enjoyed the vibe of the place. They also have creme pies, and Hannah was tempted by the chocolate peanut butter variety but ultimately decided that she'd rather have ice cream from JJ's on the way home. Guess we'll have to try the pie next time!
