Gravy Boat

Roommate Claude believes that nothing tastes better post-work out than coconut water.  My grandfather used to have coconut trees in his backyard and would offer us fresh coconuts when we visited.  Still, I find Claude's claim preposterous.  Coconut water is gross.  Nothing tastes better post-work out than a biscuit with gravy.

Forget the farmer's market donuts, the smoked meats, and the jerk fish.  I have a new favorite stand:  the biscuit people (blacksauce kitchen).  I arrived too late (11am) for the brisket sandwich and the rosemary biscuits, but the mushroom gravy was a great substitute.  And the people who ran the stand so friendly.  I was so excited for the biscuit, I didn't even hang around the rest of the market.  I ran home*, only stopping along the way to chat with a stranger waiting at a bus shelter about how good the biscuit is.

Farmer's market under a bridge, biscuit, and talking to strangers-- this sure isn't the South End anymore, and I can't wait for next Sunday.

*Let's not kid ourselves, I walked home at a comfortable pace.
