After two weekends
of being out of my beloved city, I was set to settle in for a while,
however, it had been over a month since I'd visited the folks in NH, so I felt obliged to make a journey up to Milford NH to see the mom and dad, fully intent
on heading back to the city in time for a true CITY brunch for # 39.

This was why I chose Le Pescadeux; they offer an
all-you-can-drink option for $16, they didn't need a major
reservation blood-letting AND they were were on Thompson St, pretty
close to my crib, so I would have enough time to get up early in NH,
drive four hours back to the Village, drop the car rental off, book
it home, drop of dogs, then make it to the reservation for 1:30 pm.
Plan? Plan!

And yes, I did it,
byatches, with like 5 motherfreaking minutes to spare, werd! OK,
truthfully, I was 10 mins late, but seriously loves, with everything
I had to do, I made it on time, ya digg? So, it was ladies brunch
this time, with seven of us, including some faces not seen for a
while, and we immediately got down to talk of sex, sizes, dates,
visits, and all the lovely things that women talk about when we get
together. Yes, it was happening.

I have to talk
about the restaurant, however, and I was very happy with the choice
made. It was not crazy Sunday-brunch crowded, they seated us before
all parties arrived, and the food was really good. I had the
omelet with creamy spinach, frites and a fresh salad, the benes
were divine, and the bloodys got a thumbs-up from the ladies. I'm on
week 3 of no SMOKING (that's rite!), so no bloody for moi.
I have to say the
service was very French, which is not to say it was good or bad, it
was what it was, and therefore , fine.
Then, it was off
to Central Park for the first time in almost two years! (!) to meet
up with more friends, then back downtown to have dinner with another
friend at Les Enfants, my old cracked-out haunt, then back home for
my eighteenth cup of tea for the day, and a fine end to a lovely day.
