Yesterday, ![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
sashagee told me that she and Laila were going to be downtown today for some blood tests related to her brain troubles, and since the tests only took a few minutes--they draw the blood, say thanks, and send you on your way--why not have lunch together? And I thought that was a great idea...and then I went and made my lunch anyway and put it in the fridge, and this morning when I woke up and I got my lunch and got all ready to go and then realized that we were supposed to meet for lunch. Oops. Well, at least my lunch for tomorrow is made.
sashagee originally suggested Ed Debevic's, but when I told her that it was famous for the servers making fun of you, she switched to Wildberry Cafe, right near the hospital. When she texted I left work, hopped on the 26 going north on Michigan Avenue, and arrived just as Laila was drinking water with an open seat next to her. sashagee said she specifically asked me to sit next to her, and as soon as I walked up, she immediately patted the seat next to her and said "Sit!", so I sat. I was a little worried because American breakfast places are often stuffed full of pork or meat and cheese--we've been to breakfast places with multi-page menus where the number of things I can and want to eat are 1 ± 1--but I saw the veggie skillet and thought it looked good, and it was:
Sourdough toast with berry compote on the side, hash browns and asparagus and broccoli and onions and tomatoes and cheese under two eggs over easy. It was huge and now I'm pretty sure I don't actually need to eat dinner, which is good becausesashagee took out a rotisserie chicken to thaw for dinner tonight, but that chicken is still a block of ice-chicken so we're getting dinner at the farmer's market tonight. And by dinner, I mean "snacks."
We ate, I chatted mostly with Laila, who was fascinated by the bee flying by and the stop signs visible in the store window, and then I dropped offsashagee and Laila at the bus stop and went back to work. A lovely interlude.
