You Snooze You Win

I tell you, I dig this summer work week schedule. The teensiest bit of hard work and then a colossal amount of time off? Yes, please!

I had brunch with this one today at the best breakfast place in Denver:

Nat King Cole in all her pre-coffee morning glory.

It's funny taking pics with NKC for the blog. I'm always like, "Oh! Let's take a picture!" and then when I show it to her, she shrugs and goes, "Welp, that's what I look like, so, yeah, ok." She says this with zero enthusiasm so I didn't know if I was bugging her or not. Today she confirmed that I'm not. So, more pictures! :)

It was beyond great to sit and catch up for a couple of hours in between our regular Lit Society (aka Frasier and Niles) schedule.

A plate of hash browns loaded with cheese, tomatoes, onions, pulled pork, and eggs. I felt like Gaston from Beauty and the Beast while eating this.

Once fully and totally stuffed, we moved the party over to Trader Joe's for a grocery shopping extravaganza. I've only been a couple of times, so today was like having my own tour guide! And her food recommendations go a long way because she's speaking for herself and Chef Campo!

I walked away with some yummy dinner ingredients for the next week and two highlights:

A thousand bottles of yummy (and mostly cheap!) wine

And fresh nectarines! These are the candy of the fruit world, in my opinion.

I'm now exhausted from my morning out and must spend the afternoon recuperating and reading with Loo Loo Bean. She's thrilled about it.
