Station 220

Station 220: a "farm to fork" restaurant in downtown Btown.
An impromptu outing with a friend. It couldn't have been a better night.
A fillo-wrapped poached egg, lightly crisped, nestled on a bed of buttery Bibb lettuce.
A sunset-hued drink with just the right amounts of everything.
An espresso-soaked cake topped with dollops of heavenly cream.
Bottomless cups of realllly good coffee.
A waiter with a sense of humor & propriety.
A balmy night walk lit by streetlamps.
A cross-section of small city humanity.
Conversation that made a good friendship a better one.
Two people pondering the path to true contentment (we did, really).
I think we came close.

Berries & Cream





I'll take any excuse I can to eat whipped cream. And I mean the real stuff. Cool Whip does not count. If you have some free time (haha, what's that, right?), google "what is cool whip really made of?". You will never eat it again.
But I digress. Whipped cream: It is easy on the eyes--who doesn't enjoy ogling soft peaks of pale butter-yellow ? It is easy on the tastebuds, of course. And if the time of day you happen to indulge in it is full of molten gold rays and an ever so slight tang of autumn in the air, so much the better. Til next time.
