Two days in a row. Double cool.
Yesterday was HOT. I was already sweating by 9 a.m. It didn’t get much better. But thanks to Amy, Judah and I were able to escape the apartment for the afternoon. One chiropracter visit and Thumbelina at Amy’s house filled the afternoon. Then she dropped us off at Ali Baba’s to meet Joshua for dinner. It’s been too hot to cook in the house, so we’ve not eaten dinner at home for a couple of days. One falafel platter and a lemonade fed all three of us for $8.40. Hard to beat that price, I’ve gotta say.
Judah and I started eating while we were waiting for Joshua to get there. They have this one area that’s closed in on three sides with a low table and cushions on short platform, so you eat just elevated off the floor. Shortly after the munchkin and I sat down, I heard this strange sound from the other side of the little eating area, and I looked over just in time to see a mouse run along the wall and under the other side of the low seats.
i guess if they like the food, it can’t be that bad. It reminded me of the time Joshua and I were in New Orleans and were eating at this bar in the French Quarter called The Alibi. We were at a barstool-height table against the back wall, when a mouse ran out of the corner of the wall, along the brick rail that jutted out from the wall, up to our table, and then turned around and ran back into the wall.
Not exactly the ideal sight you want to see in an eating establishment, but kind of hard to avoid in cities where all the buildings bump up against each other. Just so long as they’re not in my house.
