henna day post

I find I have nothing to say about 9/11 that hasn't already been said and said and said. So: today is Henna Day, and the henna is on my head.

Later I will go to my beloved Coffee Table for the last time. (It closes tonight.) I had brunch there yesterday with Carolyn and Dave. Also yesterday I went for the first time to Mixto, the brand-new restaurant around the corner which replaces Burrito King (an old school but not very delicious Mexican place over which I will shed no tears). I had a soft chicken taco, cheese tamale, and Mexican chocolate bread pudding, and it was good.

I haven't taken a lot of photos since the Garage Kitty passed away. But today I was in the mood.

Here's today's brunch. It's my favorite egg dish that I make: scrambled eggs with kale, leek, tomato, and green salsa. Plus COFFEE.




I'd thought the Coffee Table would be open through evening for their final day of business, but when I got there around 4 p.m., they'd already closed the kitchen, so I took some pictures. Strange to see all these tables unoccupied. I also sent an email to the company that owns the building, urging them to renew Coffee Table's lease. Maybe if the neighborhood protests loudly enough, it'll make a difference?
