A we bit o Irish nosh!

Well I have one word to say about our Breakfast at Paddy Coynes (Tacoma Version) MM! . Yes its a word, pronounced mm!! as in mm good!, ok I have more than one word.... duh.   Last Sunday, Ol Hot T and Smoj arrived at  Casa De Robey, bout 9ish, not too early not too late , just right.        The decision to go to Paddy Coynes was governed by a "groupon" that our uber thrifty friends (Hot T and Smoj) brought with and supplied... saved a few bucks... thanks guys.           Paddy Coynes  the Tacoma version is on about 8th and Pacific , super easy to find, parked right across the street , walked right in sat right down, sounds like a song does it not ?     We  were not the only ones  in the bar ,but it was pretty close, the young waiter approched the table and informed us of the 2.99 Bloody Marys and Mimosas.... Yeppers, bring us a round! I boldly shouted....well I think I said yes please, but they came and they were delish! probably the best... well a close second ( Nolas Bainbridge Isl), and get this they have a make your own Bloody Mary, where you can add anything you wish, condiment wise... sooo if you want 10 olives?... Spear em up! We however elected to let the bar create our Bfast Libations... excellant they were! Spicy and nicely balanced, served tall.   The Chickas opted for the Mimosas, the champagne version, also offered was a spiced rum type...interesting.         The Menu was interesting , what with Bangers and rashers and all things Irished up, Smoj ordered the Irish Bennedict, served on toast with Rashers (Irish Bacon) eggs your way, Hollandaise of course and some superterrific spudalinos, along side... crispy and delicious!     Hot T, did not have Tea, figured the B Mary would suffice, as far as chewable fare he opted for the Cornbeef Hash, eggs his way (over easy)... and topped with Hollandaise... What? Yep thats how it came,and it looked awsome!    Ol Hot concurred that it was , might just be my choice next time.         Now as far as MSue's , she ordered the Steak and Eggs, weird wild stuff huh?, usually if her food doesnt come all mixed up side of salsa, it dont come at all, but Steak and Eggs it was... eggsscrambledwelldone...no salsa?  same spuds as all, Steak ordered medium rare , and it arrived MEDIUM RARE!  nicely cooked piece of cow!  Sirloin, breakfast sized, but nice and thick, it also came with a brown pan gravy(country gravy they called it) on top of the meat, which she did order on the side, alas it did not arrive as such, the waiter was very apologetic... its ok MSue stated, good thing it was awsome, toast as well and plenty of Iced T,happy happy girl, and you know when MSues happy the whole day just goes better for all concerned.           My food is gonna sound a little anticlimatic, for I ordered the same breakfast as MSue, or she as I for I did order first, with the exception of my eggs were over perfect, and there was three of the little darlins right between my perfectly cooked med rare sirloin, covered in smacklippin gravy and the crispy taters ala awsome, along with toast and some darn fine coffee as well. Orange Marmalade Butter?  yep it came with the toast, Hot T said it was really good, big marmalade fan that I am, I was to enthralled with the yolky goodness of the eggs and the  yumtasterrific gravy, that I just couldn' be bothered with jam and butter, too much good soppin goin on!..... Sooo yep!   One word describes it all right    MM!     Second trip on the horizon no doubt!
