People are risking their lives and well-being waiting for buses in this blur of a city. There's so much snow it comes off more as shredded coconut. I should be in Taxi, or the Bob Newhart Show. I'll stick with Bob Newhart. I just crammed for this upcoming chef's special. I can't remember if it's Lisa or Jenny that is predicted to be the one cooking tonight. Either way I have it covered. A man packed warmly was walking my way with his grey terrier, the type that was on Fraggle Rock. The man decided to turn around once he saw our Odyssey.
We've managed to get through this disasterous weather for Amy's. I'm about to walk in.
I can't believe I got her name wrong. I thought the chef's hair to be red. But instead of Megan it's Jenny. How could've this happened?!
Me: Curtis, did Jenny recently color her hair?
Curtis: Oh, did she? I think I was thinking of Jenny's sister. She has bleached blond hair. I could hack your blog for you to change it if you want.
That's okay, Curt Man. It can only get better from here.
Sheena brought out some awesome sweet tea, upon my request. I definitely could tell it was sweet tea but it wasn't cloying. It also had a good lemon flavor. Good and lemony.
It did get so much better. So good. Such a good decision! I had a sandwich wrapped in hearty yet supple pita, composed of Seitan, sauce (BBQ?), sauteed mushrooms and onions, semi-wilted spinach and melted mozzarella. It came with a small quantity of crisp, spiced french fries and a salad of spinach, cucumber, some diced onion, oil, falafel pieces and feta and it was sumptous. I'm not a big fan of falafel but I would say this was the best use of falafel to date. A pepperochini resided on the side. I never eat those so I'm glad it was included. I trusted Jenny to know it would be perfect with the salad, which it was.
Sandwich + Salad + Fries = Great Success
The sauce turns out to be a combination of BBQ, hot sauce, garlic, A1, a smidge of mustard and something else. As Jenny throws her arms about grabbing at invisible spices she describes herself as, "a mad scientist back there." Just thinking about it now Jenny reminds me of a robust Suki St. James. I don't know if Jenny'd appreciate a reference to Gilmore Girls, but I do.
All the women that work here are lovely. Three of them were talking together and it was hard to look away. Dare I say this is a beautiful city. Sometime I'll have to wax on poetically about Curtis, Isaac and Kyle. (I wish I had seen more of Eva.) But tonight is not that time. We have a movie to watch!
Yours because,
Addison the Great
