What WE eat.
Here is Adam's lunch the other day.  He's a hearty fellow and makes a beautiful plate of food for himself each day. 
 
Yum, right?


And one of mine.
And here's one I made for myself recently.  Not quite as plentiful, but just as delicious.  You know you can do this too.  Just ask for what you wish and we'll figure it out and ring you up accordingly.  No need to follow any rules around here.  Get what you like.  okay?


Who can resist?
I love the fall.  Love the change of seasons.  Love fall and winter vegetables and fruits.  I love buying a stalk of Brussels sprouts and steaming them up, drizzling them with a little browned butter (heat it in a small saucepan and stop cooking it just before it burns.)
 
This picture of our version (roasted with some garlic) makes me very happy.


No need to stay inside
On a day like yesterday a visitor to Asheville took advantage of our outside table and the sunny afternoon.  She's in from Aspen, she said, scoping out the town and possibly moving here.  Time will tell.  In the meantime, what better to do than stumble into our cafe and enjoy the day at one of our tables.  The dog, "Miss E," sipped her water and relaxed too.


A word or two from Laurey
Hiya,
 
Sorry about the delay - AGAIN!  It's kind of hard to stay focused on things right now.  BUT I'm about done with my treatments ("Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise," as they say around here.) After I am done I hope to have more energy for the things that I promise to do - like writing this note to you.
 
So that is pretty much my focus right now.  I guess it is understandable.  I'm trying really hard to think of these final treatments as infusions of magic.  And thinking about magic is a full-time occupation.  There are glimmers of other things, but they flicker in and out. 
 
Sorry, but that's the way it is.  For a little bit longer.
 
Today is the start of the third to the last treatment.  And I need to go get ready.  I'll write this weekend.  Promise. 
 
But bye for now.
Laurey


Extra curricular fun
I got to be the assistant in a class on color this past weekend.  My friend ran the class and I was the paper passer-outer and the computer manipulator and the assistant set decorator.  I also got to be in the class which was fun too. 
 
We're going to bring her to Asheville for a one day class - probably in January.  It'll be a whole day of fun and frivolity and you will come away with a greater understanding of your personal relationship with color.  And you'll have fun! Stay tuned.
