popcorn

It's all I can think about. All night, all day...I have an unstoppable hunger for popcorn! I think I need to duck out of work early to go buy some. I need it!

elmwood lounge

I was supposed to meet a friend for brunch at the Elmwood Lounge today. Well, let's just say this was another test for Lady Croft. My esteem is not exactly high caliber right now, so I felt like a pretty big ass the longer I sat there waiting for a friend that never showed.

So I had the choice of leaving in my embarrassed state, or eat, because I was really hungry. I've been wanting to check out this brunch for ages. So...I chatted things up with the waiter and decided to eat.

This is a testament to all those who have wondered if you would spontaneously combust when dining out alone. I'm not saying I enjoyed it immensely, but I lived to tell the tale.

I had a mimosa (is it bad to drink alone on a Sunday morning???) and spinach omelet, which came with toast, potatoes and tapioca pudding. All of this for $6 on the nose, no additional tax! I think it is a spiffy deal. I recommend you try it. Brunch is served every Saturday and Sunday from 9-3pm. Ciao.

Then it dawns on me what I said and how I said it as a negative when I didn't mean it that way. Never been To the Home of Lance Diamond for any meal or any of his shows. I think you handled eating alone when someone else was going to join you better then I could. I'm glad you liked the food and got to go somewhare you've wanted to go to.

I don't mind skiing alone either, you don't have to wait for someone to get there shit together or at the bottom of the hill. it will also help me appreciate having someone's company much more when it finally does happen.

I dined out once before by myself....it's actually a liberating experience knowing that you don't need others there in order to look good or what not.... you made it! and fuck that person that ditched you. that is just not cool!

lunch of champions

Starting St. Patty's day a little early, or, a lot early. Went to the Steelhead Pub in Lewiston. Had a 'boxty' which is a potato pancake stuffed with corned beef and cabbage. Washed it all down with a pint of Guinness and enjoyed to the sounds of old Irish tunes. Yeah.

And did you know, it takes 96 teaspoons of Guinness to fill that pint?
