The local yuppie/hippie store is the only place in town that carries pure black cherry juice. (Bonus points towards a new Internet if you can guess why I buy it.) They have a seating area where you can take amalgamations of stuff from the deli counter and sit there and consume it. (Use their cardboard "stay and eat" boxes and pay the 13.5% restaurant tax. Get it in a plastic tub like anything else going home and pay just 5.5% sales tax.)
They had a duck breast salad with baby field greens. Marvelous medium rare medallions of duck breast (with the crispy skin on), some sort of balsamic dressing, mint leaves chiffonaded. And Reed's rasberry ginger beer.
I sat right in the middle and made sure everybody could see I was eating MEAT!!!!!!!!!ELEVENTY!!AAGHHHHH! Plus, I was drinking straight from the bottle! Someone erven offered to get me one of the little waxed cardboard shot glasses the store provides. Perhaps I was a mite bit loud when I said using a cup would just generate more pollution.
I'm still trying to figure out if the meal was better than the disturbance in the force, or vice versa.
stay safe.
