Having gotten off to such a late start last night, led to a very grumbly morning for Wendy and I, but mostly due to very little rest from a very bad hotel/motel situation. Not our choice really, beware of nice looking room photos when choosing a place to stay overnight, deceptions. Our mood a bit gruesome while loading the car back up in a heavy dreary drizzle. Tired and extremely hungry we made our way over to what turned out to be a very great diner. Taking a seat at a window facing counter, we haggardly try to ease into a positive mental state for the day ahead. You know a place willing to serve filet mignon with eggs benedict must be pretty amazing indeed. Our eyes glossing over to an oozing gliding melting swath of buttery goodness floating across a perfect golden brown surface full of blueberry delicious tongue pleasing sweetness, heavenly. Sitting alongside are three thick strips of bacon of a surprising long cut, cooked to an exquisitely balanced savory texture, and favorable portions of lushly set scrambled eggs, scrumptious. Numerous servings of coffee perk our numbed senses into a more human semblance of existence. My eyes blinking heavily as I’m waking more to fully enjoy the company of my lovely wife. Sipping away and taking in our pancake perfection, bite by sigh inducing bite, we voyeuristically watch out the window. Rain pours down in a hypnotizing effect, as many passerby with interesting array of umbrella patterns come to and fro, a tight beige plaid or tweed here, a red and white striped there, a bright polk dot, but more often, just a simple black. A little charcoal gray pigeon struts along bobbing his head, weaving in and out of empty courtyard iron seating, looking quite purposeful, as if it were making regularly scheduled daily rounds through the little cove of eateries. All leisurely happening while noting that this is probably the best damn pancakes we’ve ever had. Such a satisfying meal for such a weepy day.
