Food log: Sunday, October 4

Woke up late after a weird night of weird dreams, which I won't go into right now, because what is more boring than having to hear about someone else's dreams?

Instead I'll tell you about what I ate today.

It started with my AM Diet Coke, to wake me up from those dreams I won't bore you with. Ok, it involved kayaking away from a bear, but I won't tell you more.

My brother came to meet us at the loft then we all went to Les Cabotins, a really kooky restaurant 5 minutes away from my place. Step-dad was treating us all to brunch. Thanks, Richard!

Bro was thinking about bacon and wondering why he was getting fruit.

The coffee refills where served in a Thermos. The salt and pepper shakers were shaped like animals. Kooky, I tells ya!

Brunch at Les Cabotins is $17.

Back home, I made that pie I didn't have time for last night. Since I've been having a Carl Sagan fixation ever since this awesome song  came out, I used this recipe . It. Is. AMAZING.

I had a piece right away as well as some cheese tartines and pickles.
