I’m totally ready to defy gravity

My mom and I went to see Wicked tonight.   I was so excited to see it and Imost definitely wasn’t disappointed.   I adored the costumes and the set was all steam-punky cool.  The gal who played Glinda was adorable and funny.  I might adopt some of her little kicky moves!  If you get a chance to, go.  It’s a delight.

I was however disappointed with the restaurant I chose to take Mom to.  Once upon a time it was a cute little place, a gourmet deli if you will.  My Honey and I loved the food and the concept but we never thought it would stay open.  We introduced several people to the place, all of whom became fans.  After several years, they altered the concept and became a regular plated restaurant.  We were a little disappointed but the food was still good.  Then last year they moved to a bigger space and, tonight when I took Mom there, I discovered they’ve become a little too big for their britches.

It was 5:30 on a Tuesday.  The place was mostly empty.  However, we didn’t have a reservation so we couldn’t be accomodated.  And the hostess was hoity toity about it too.  I’ll probably never eat there again because who remembers to make reservations on a Tuesday unless it’s something special.

Damn.  They had the best chocolate pistachio beignets.  Alas.
