Lunch Dessert

um, yes we did in fact lunch on dessert. Heeding the lesson of previous fruitless pastry excursions Mary and I went straight away to the coffee counter of DiBruno Bros. to peruse the baked good selection. The marbled poundcake, plethora of biscotti, and myriad rugula were enticing, but we settled on a lush and chewy lemon cookie and a snappy crunchy peanut butter ball for Mary and the chocolate croissant for me. Mary reports delightful crunch suprises from the peanut butter ball, Rice Crispies in the mix, perhaps? I had a big problem with my croissant. It was too good. The chocolate was subtle and not too sweet, and nicely demure in quantity, but the pastry, the pastry was devine. It was so buttery and savory. I prefer savory to sweet, generally, I would rather have and more real food than dessert, but with Mary's influence I am embracing sweet more. But this croissant, damn, maybe it's just that's it has been a long while since I've eaten one, but I couldn't really handle it. Basically I ate it too fast and then felt weird. I guess I should try again, maybe I'll get it right next time.

when the lunch isn't the lunch

Sometimes it happens that the Business Lunch is mostly business and little of lunch. Due to pretty intense fuck up of mine last month I had to spend the afternoon reinstating complaints at City Hall and filing them for service at the Sheriff's Office. I was back to the office by 3 and wanted to get some foods in me, but more than that i wanted to run my Personal Errands: and I did and it was very interesting.
First a frantic search for Season 2 of Veronica Mars, which was realeased today, led me to Borders where a cute girl with cute short hair and glasses found it behind the counter in a box. I was teetering on the borderline of paralytic embarrassment asking for a DVD of a UPN show, approaching the counter with trepidation, my dorky heart beating faster, would they smirk at me like the Information Ladies at Tower had not 15 minutes before (they hadn't gotten it in), would they send me away smarting and unfulfilled? Providence obviously throws the bone-eye toward Kristen Bell as well, and Season 2 was delivered unto us. Then I got a Borders frequent buyer keychain thing because the cute girl asked me too. Does this mean I should shop there more often? I have shopped at Borders since I moved here now exactly twice, I don't see much more in the future, sorry cute Borders girl, you can give them the discount card, but you can't make them shop.
Next item on the Business BusinessLunch was Trying On Jeans at The Gap. I tried them, tehn I bought them, and it was very interesting.
