Keep It Local
When the boyfriend is sick what does any nice girl do…? Make him soup. When the boyfriend is sick what does any nice girl (that doesn’t like to cook) do…? Buy him soup, obvi (short for ‘obviously’ for any of you Baby Boomers out there).
Yesterday I stopped by Local, an organic fair trade and shade grown coffee shop. With four small tables, it’s more of a take out spot or place to go solo with a book (or Kindle) for the afternoon. The menu is pretty well stocked for a mere coffee joint – their ‘early all day’ list includes a Farmers Market Egg White Sandwich on organic 7 grain or sourdough bread ($5.50), Local Made Granola with farmers market fruit/yogurt ($6.00) and Pukkolla rolled oats, ground bran, dried apricots and dates, apples, walnuts and almonds soaked in milk ($5.00). All of their baked items are made fresh each morning using organic cane sugar, organic flour and farmer’s market eggs. If you’re feeling ambitious, they have an extensive sandwich and salad list as well.
On a mission, I picked up a cup of the tomato and basil soup ($6.50) and a fresh baked corn muffin ($2.75). Little did I know that I’d also be taking home an XL order of his cold…as I write this I’m home sick from work…waiting for someone to bring ME soup.
