At Some Point, It's Just Lunch

I never thought I'd miss the food at Sebastian's but after six years of institutional coddling and excellent salad bars, I'm finally at a school without good food.  The cafe at Hampton House has great free iced water, wifi, and a very friendly staff, but I miss my "cheap" and healthy "Indian" food, surly cashiers, Heart Healthy entrees, and all those pictures of Walter Willet telling me that I should have oatmeal. 

What I don't miss about Boston, however, is having great brunch options within walking distance from my place.  I have that here.  Just came back from my first B'more brunch (with Sachini-- whose frames of reference include Boston, Harvard, Hopkins, B'more, California, Asia, and Beyonce's baby-to-be, which makes her perfect brunch company) and licked my plate clean.  How could I not, when it contained some of my favorite things?  Poached eggs (my brunch egg go-to), fried chicken, and biscuits.  I can't even think of anything more perfect and I certainly can't wait to brunch again.
