This morning I was able to indulge in what has been an annual treat for me since we moved to the area: the Herkimer Elks Lodge Breakfast.
The Elks hold weekly breakfasts every January to fund their projects for the year. And every year, I go eat a yummy breakfast and write a blog post about it. Sometimes more than one (well, I get hungry again, and I always need a new blog post). Steven has been scheduled to work every Sunday, so I was without a date. Luckily, my friend Diane agreed to accompany me today.
For $9 we could get juice, coffee, eggs, white or wheat toast, pancakes, baked beans, home fries with or without onions, and bacon or sausage. I passed on the pancakes; Diane declined the beans. She chose cranberry juice while I had orange. We both chose scrambled eggs and bacon.
The Elks all seemed to be having a fun time being diner staff for the day. The customers were enjoying themselves as well. Friends often meet at these community events, especially in a small town like ours. The food was yummy, and Diane and I were able to catch up on each other’s lives.
The breakfasts continue January 17 and 24, from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Elks Lodge, Mary Street, Herkimer, NY. If you’re in the area and like a good breakfast, I encourage you to check it out.

I like having annual events and have featured a few things like this. Mainly, your breakfast really sounded filling and delicious. I may have passed beans for breakfast but still really worth the cost and worthy cause. Lovely that you observe this yearly. Smiles, Robin
The only sad thing this year is my husband works EVERY Sunday. Rats!
I love that breakfast, I’m going the 24th.
I may see you there if I go again!
