Chocolate Bear Goes to Reno
Reno was busy today. Traditionally, the first weekend of spring break is when all the area junkies and prostitutes and junky-prostitutes gather downtown for picnics and maypole dances.
I don't know why this downtown liquor store sign cracks me up. Oh wait, yes I do. It's frickin' hilarious. "If the wind knocks down the lettering on our sign, please see above."
Service at Josef's Bakery and Cafe is atrocious at brunchtime on Sundays, but by god, the wait is worth it. Tasty. But watch out, Jakob! That's a peanut butter cookie they're trying to slip by you.
Green Benedict = perfectly poached eggs wiggling and jiggling atop a bed of creamed spinach, topped with a light and tangy hollandaise. Wavy said they looked like BOOBS.
Wavy always has the pasta with butter, garlic and parmesan. Simple, yet sublime.
A line was forming behind us as Wavy tried to decide on ONE item from the bakery case. We eventually grabbed our goods and ran, as we were running a bit late for our movie.
We went to see a couple of films about the wonders of the universe and springtime night skies over at the Fleischmann Planetarium at University of Nevada, Reno. Jakob only fell asleep once. I don't blame him, the first feature was a bit of a snoozer.
We found a sunny spot afterwards to chow down on our baked goods. Wavy got the bunny in pajamas.
Mom and Jakob got petits fours. They got a bit crunched when I dropped them in the parking lot.
Yum.
Chocolate Bear needs a rest now. He drove hither and yon and spent a buttload of money this weekend, and just needs to get in his pajamas with a glass of port and a petit four, climb in bed and stream some Netflix. Dont'cha, Chocolate Bear. But he loves you both very much! Good night, he says!
