fighting for food
It was a beautiful spring day, although a bit on the chilly side. I wanted to hit the Beaches area to be close to the water and my ride dropped me off at Dufflet Cafe to pick up some goodies beforehand. I ducked into the store and found myself waiting in a long line. If you haven't tried the food, you have no idea what you're missing. And if you're thinking that all I ever seem to talk about anymore is food... well maybe I should just rename my blog...While in line, I overheard the guy behind me speaking about his friend who dreamt that her dog would die, and apparently it really did, and no, the dog was not sick. When it was my turn, I ordered from the rapidly diminishing selection. The almond meringue I ordered last time was so good but I was disappointed it wasn't there. (It was SO good that even though I had cut it in half to save for later, I ended up scarfing down the whole damn thing in one sitting.) I chose a bundt and the last remaining pecan tart. The guy serving me took his sweet time prepping the cardboard takeout box. In the meantime, another guy was helping the couple behind me. I swear, I heard the girl say, "I'll take that pecan tart. Can you pack that first and then we'll decide what else we want." As if she had NOT heard me order the tart first. The guy starts reaching for it and I protested that I had ordered it already. My guy is useless and shrugs his shoulders saying he didn't know who was first. Hello?? Then again, he couldn't even remember my order and it was only 2 items... I heard the guy behind me say, "Let her have it." so I muttered a thank you although really when you think about it, he should have been apologizing to me for trying to steal my snack!
In the end, I sat at a picnic table at the park overlooking the polluted lake and got to share the sweets with my friend. It was definitely worth fighting over. :P
