| Lunch at Gail's

| Loafs of bread at our local Gail's.

I was told to stop taking pictures before I could photograph any of the
desserts, breakfast pastries, or sandwiches. This, in spite of the fact
that Di Yin has previously taken pictures at this particular Gail's and
I've taken
pictures at another one. (The other Gail's, however, was smaller /
had less of a selection.)
| My "breakfast sandwich". A sandwich, served warm, with a fried
scrambled-egg pancake (containing green onions), melted brie-like
cheese, and cucumbers. The sandwich was better than I guessed based on
its ingredients and how it looked. (I bought it mostly out of
curiosity.) The egg in particular was good, unlike how I imagined a
reheated fried thing would be. The photograph is pretty.

| Dinner at Betsy Smith
|
|
|
|
|
We sat in this corner near the front of Betsy Smith, under a
chair-with-a-chandelier-on-it turned upside-down, and in clear view of
similarly upside-down pink flamingos.
Incidentally, I'd previously
photographed most of the rest of Betsy Smith's quirky interior.
| A pizza of mozzarella, tomato sauce, rocket (arugula), parma ham, and
parmesan shavings. Quite good. Parma ham makes anything delicious.
| A white pizza of mozzarella and roasted aubergine (eggplant), courgettes
(zucchini), and peppers. Decent/good.
|
The pizzas must have had a lot of hidden salt--both Di Yin and I woke up
thirsty in the middle of the night.
