I went out to lunch today with the Newcomers Out to Lunch Bunch. We went to Jeffrey's in Mooresville and I had a delicious meal of shrimp and grits. If you are not southern, you probably are saying "what??" I was not familiar with the dish growing up but since I have moved back to NC, I have discovered it. I think the first time I had shrimp and grits was visiting Ashley when she lived in DC. We went to a soul food restaurant for her birthday and Ashley ordered them. Since then, I have had them several times and they are always prepared a bit differently. Today's had shrimp, Andouille sausage, and spices with yummy buttery grits. It was delicious! After lunch I headed over to the Department of Motor Vehicles to take my driver's test. I passed and didn't have to wait too long. The only "hiccup" was that since I hadn't planned on going to DEA today, I didn't have my checkbook and they don't take credit cards - only cash or check. There was a lady there getting her license renewed also who had been at lunch with me and she told me it would be $20. Well, wouldn't you know it, I had $19!! So she lent me a dollar. When I finished the test (only had to do vision and signs), the man told me it would be $32! Oops! Guess I'm "young" enough that I get more than 5 years worth of renewal (it's $4 per year). So I had to leave and go to the bank and get cash; then go back to pay and have my picture taken. I should have my new license in a couple of weeks. Yay!
