Affirmation

Hadn't hung out with Alice in a awhile, but tonight, we made up for lost time and headed to the blacksauce barbecue stand (followed by an excursion to Wegman's, both to walk off the food coma, and to stock up for future food comas).  When we got there, it was raining, we were starving, and had to park a short walk down the road.  But standing there, straining to read the chalkboard menu, and waiting in line to make our orders, things began to turn.  I heard the guys at the grill say, "Is that Joy that just walked by?"  That was a highlight*.  Actually, no.  That was just the beginning.  After the rain, a rainbow came out.  The bluegrass band came back out to play.  And then there was eating too much good food with Alice.  That was the true highlight of the week.

Damian: What'd you guys get?

Moi: The cauliflower, the beans, the oxtail sandwich, the pizza, and then the bread pudding.

Damian: That's a lot of food.

Moi: Yeah, we sampled most of your repertoire.

Damian: But no chorizo?

No, Guys.  Even gluttons have to draw the line somewhere.  

*How many biscuits must one have bought at the farmer's market that one would be recognized by the wonderful chefs just passing by?  Let's not think about that.  It's not public health.
