That's More Like It

[keiramarcos]

Entered the coffee shop today and it felt just perfect. I ordered a latte and got settled and when the owner walked by I asked him what was different. He laughed and said -- "The bakery next door opened and started making apple pies again."

Word.

I set aside my coffee, went over there and bought a pie for us. Because if they are the reason things smell and feel right around here--then I should support them by making the sacrifice of buying an apple pie. I know the cafe buys a lot of their pies/cakes from them as well but I feel like I did my part.

The pie is AWESOME. Humming Man ate 2 pieces before I cut him off as punishment for continuing to fucking HUM.

Cute Lesbian Girl brought her Fasionably Liberal Emo-Girlfriend to the cafe today so I don't expect she'll get any work done but I did go over 2 chapters of her book with her.

I got roped/bribed/berated into hosting the next writer's event at the cafe.

Sigh.

Cheers for the return of the sanctuary. Lattee and apple pie. Yum the only thing better might be lattee and fresh chocolate chip cookies, or peanut butter cookies with heresy kisses so warm the kiss is still not completely solid... yeah.

pie...

Ahhhhh. Fresh apple pie. Did they put cinnamon and sugar on the top crust? I can almost smell it! The only thing better is to put Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla http://www.bluebell.com/IceCreamFlavor?fid=21 ice cream on top. Ok, I'm hungry now.

Okay, next life? I'm having a full time resident IT gnome to keep my world up and running, 'cause I surely haven't a clue.

Pie! Sounds yummy, and I'm glad your favourite writing space feels (and smells) right again.

I used to work in this fabric store that was right next door to a cheap-o movie theater. It finally got to the point that I grabbed a plastic bag and went next door to ask for some popcorn, because the smell was driving us nuts. :) They were great. We would hold on to their mail (they didn't open until mid-afternoon and the mail came in the morning) and they gave us free popcorn and lemonade in the summer. Saddest day ever when they finally went out of business, but they had a 'last reel standing' party that ended up with the cops in the front parking lot, lol, which is pretty much the mark of a good party, especially when the cops have to have popcorn first.

That's some good popcorn if you can bribe the fuzz with it. ;)

mmm pie

Glad it's more like normal!

Glad the sanctity of your haven of caffeinated goodness has been restored! :)

[zoolooney.livejournal.com]

Yay~! It's great that you've got your haven back and back to normal. :)

Mmm. Pie. Now I've got a craving for a slice of hot spiced apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream...

Very happy you got your sanctuary back. Hot apple pie with cheddar cheese melted across the top and Blue Bunny Homemade Vanilla ice cream with carmel sauce.

I'm jealous.
Apple pie; hot, fresh and home made, is my absolute favorite

sigh

great, now I'm hungry.

I got roped/bribed/berated into hosting the next writer's event at the cafe.

Does this mean you buy the pie for it, make a speech or have to read all the neophyte writers' cruddy prose?

[originaltempus.livejournal.com]

I hope it's the prose. I love Keira's scathing, yet increadibly honest assessments. LOL

[justalurkr.livejournal.com]

Just watching her moderate such a meeting would be a treat, even without the critique! I'll bet she channels Julia Sugarbaker perfectly.

People buy their own food ;-)

It's like a mini-workshop that lasts about 4 hours. The hosting author picks a topic in advance and each participant submits 5 pages (double spaced) for review by the host.

I have 20 bloody participants by the way and I chose dialogue mechanics.

SiGH.

Way to get people talking!

[justalurkr.livejournal.com]

Though frankly? I'd rather bring the food. I make double chocolate brownies with Dark Chocolate Godiva liqueur. Have fun reading the dialog of 20 participants, and here's hoping some are at least decent!
