When I was a little girl, my family would always stop at Weidmann's on our way to New Orleans. Located in Meridian, Mississippi, Weidmann's is halfway between Birmingham and New Orleans, so it was a great place to stop for lunch. Our girls also enjoy dining at Weidmann's, and on our recent trip to New Orleans, we made a stop and had brunch.
I ordered french toast with strawberries and cream.
I keep The Bee's Knee's peanut butter by the Peanut Butter Company in the crock. The crackers are water crackers with black pepper.

Oh, I love good peanut butter and the crock is just great! I can eat peanut butter out of the jar! lol Enjoy your day my friend!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful crock and story. French toast looks so good.
ReplyDeleteOH, what a sweet idea! I love it, and love then diners can take the crocks home with them! Talk about a great way to bring back customers!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of having a crock as cute as that to remind you of your trips! Fun. I think that is what makes it special. Oh, the french toast looks divine.
ReplyDeleteI love it. It looks like such a fun place to visit!
ReplyDeleteRicki Jill, a great idea to keep peanut butter in a pretty crock. How fun to have a special handmade crock with memories attached. Happy Day!
ReplyDeletethat is lovely! Such a unique offering in a restaurant, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to solve the rations. Love the historical stories.
ReplyDeleteI love road trip traditions! I've never had cause to be in Meridian, but this almost makes me want to go.
ReplyDeleteAs for us? When my sons were younger and I'd pick them up from visiting their Dad every other weekend, we would always stop for early supper at this place in Russellville, AL called the Frosty Inn. We love that place!
Are you in Birmingham? If so, you're not far. I'm in the Huntsville area!
That is ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteWas sitting here feeling hungry, um and not for candy, and now know exactly what I will have!
ReplyDeleteI love places like that. I think I would have to have one of those crocks.
ReplyDeleteI love those kinds of places and I love crocks! I have a couple of old butter crocks that I just love, too! Hope you are keeping warm- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable crock and lovely story! I love old historical diners.
ReplyDeleteI love peanut butter . . . I love Saltines . . . I love peanut butter on saltines . . . but I am trying to be flour free so I will fit into my ski pants for our trip to Utah in 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteI love pieces like this, such a treasure!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

RJ,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tradition. I love peanut butter and crackers and that crock, how cute is that?!
xo,

You are going to have to tell me where this place is! There seems to be nothing but "gut-food" chains along the interstates 20 and 59. We go through there on the way to Gulfport to see Ray's 99 year old Grandma.
ReplyDeleteYay! I've seen crocks used for honey, but never peanut butter before! :D
ReplyDeleteI grew up putting PB on my pancakes (instead of butter or syrup) and in my oatmeal, and now I wonder if that was a result of my grandparents and the butter rationing. Hrmm.....
I'm putting Weidmann's on my list of places to visit when I (eventually) go southward. Thanks!
Oh boy right up my alley. I can only imagine how delish this is Ricki. What comfort food and how neat in a crock.
