The Same, But Different

Every week I meet four friends for breakfast. Last week we met at Cracker Barrel. We each ordered something different from the menu, but all five breakfasts got rave reviews. We decided to meet at Cracker Barrel again today.

"I'm going to order the same thing I did last week," I told my husband before I left. "Except I'm not going to order a side of gravy. And instead of turkey sausage I plan to order bacon. And if they can give me toast instead of biscuits, I'd like that. But I'm still going to have eggs, grits, and baked apples." He laughed.

Last year I attended the Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference, and one of our presenters told us movie producers are looking for the same thing, only different. They want the same romantic comedy, the same adventure story, the same drama, but they want it to be different than all the others.

Okay. For inspiration, you might try Cracker Barrel. There are several new breakfast combos on the menu. ;-)
