We had a chance to try Cherry's Cafe on Cooper Street today. It was close to 11 am when we arrived and there were plenty of open tables available. We were greeted warmly and invited to seat ourselves. We noticed that they had a salad bar, which is a rarity in Jackson. That is always a welcome sight!
My wife and daughter decided to get breakfast, while I decided on lunch. Calli (my daughter) finally decided on scrambled eggs, hash and toast. Bobbi (my wife) went with an omelet with bacon, cheese and mushrooms, toast and hash. My choice was chicken and gravy over biscuits and one item from the salad bar. I picked out some bread pudding.
Calli enjoyed every bit of her breakfast, especially the eggs, as she is a real egg hound! Bobbi was a little iffy about her omelet, as it had canned mushrooms and processed cheese instead of cheddar, but the bacon was nice and crispy. She was very happy with the hash, as it seemed homemade and very good!
My chicken and biscuits were really tasty. The biscuits were above average and the gravy was yummy enough that I used an extra piece of toast to sop up any leftovers. The bread pudding was quite good, even though it was cold, not warm like I would normally expect.
The staff was very friendly and helpful and the service was fast. The cafe itself was clean, bright and roomy with a nice positive atmosphere.
As we paid our bill, we noticed a cooler full of delicious looking pies that we may have to sample during our next visit....and we will be visiting again!

Sherlock Holmes-A Game of Shadows
Here are some quick reflections on the movie, Sherlock Holmes- A Game of Shadows.It seemed a little more focused than the first installment. I remember the first movie feeling frantic for long periods with little character development. The current installment slowed things down a bit, but still managed to get a little crazy at times.
We are introduced to Professor Moriarty, who we quickly see is every bit a match for Holmes. He has a well thought out plot which our protagonist has been puzzling over in a drunken and drug induced stupor. Moriarty has insinuated himself into the highest levels of the British Government and has set into motion a plot to plunge Europe into an all consuming war which will ultimately serve his own agenda.
Our Victorian buddies, Holmes and Watson, aided by a Gypsy girl who is searching for a lost brother traipse through France, Germany and Switzerland in dogged pursuit of the Evil Genius Moriarty in what turns out to be frenetic scene in a mountain Chateau. Good fun!
