This weekend we ventured out early for an appointment that turned out not to be an appointment because the place had closed on Saturdays for economic cutbacks and oops, we didn't know! So, early and hungry and Saturday = diner breakfast! There's a new place in town that has gotten mixed reviews so we decided to get a first-fork look, smell, and taste.
Our waitlist entertainment was an adorable 16-month old girl who was petite, shy and cautious, wobbling around with wonder in her big blue eyes... always close to her mother's knee. Her Mom told us she was a twin when we remarked at how sweet and little she was... and said her sister was "huge!". Genetics is an interesting thing, especially when coupled with astrology... a few minutes can greatly contribute to our already predisposed uniqueness.
We're seated at our favorite people watching 
position... how did our waitress know! Corner booth with the whole room in view. Our neighbors at the first open 4-top to the left were two girlfriends obviously enjoying some comfort (hangover) food after a Friday-night-out adventure. One was organizing the real estate of her plate... nut & grain pancakes to the right, butter off the plate waiting for its verdict, eggs scrambled with fresh veggies. Her dimple-smiling friend had an array of small plates fanned out in front of her. Bacon, toast, hashbrowns side by side with roasted reds for comparison, and a center plate of chorizo and egg scramble. I'd never seen breakfast appetizers before! But, then Eva pointed out that nut & grain was a Virgo and breakfast apps was a Libra! Ohhhhh, of course!
With a loud "look out!" our attention was turned to a 50-something inventor cleaning up after his creative iteration of the classic science class volcano project with his huge biscuit and country gravy. Hahahaha, that was hilarious and all of his friends thought so too... Aquarius.
Oh, and back to the twins... the sister boldly walked up to our table with a ceremoniously presented gift of wadded napkin and a flirty glint in her eye. She looked like she was 3, not 16-months and was night and day to her twin that we had met earlier... they will make great partners in life!
Breakfast is the first meal of the day. The word is a portmanteau of "break" and "fast," referring to the conclusion of fasting since the previous day's last meal. It is widely referred to as the most important meal of the day. Breakfast usually consists of foods that are high in energy content. Typical breakfasts by world region...
New word for the day... portmanteau!
