Breaking Bread

Obama at the Fireroast Mountain Cafe

Share

Okay, so I am sitting in the Fireroast Mountain Cafe, 3800 37th Ave. S. blogging while Carol is standing in line in the freezing cold five blocks away at the Riverview Theater, waiting for the doors to open so we can watch the inaugurationon the big screen. Turns out they have Obama blend as one of their featured coffees. Can you guess? It's half Hawaiian and half Kenyan. Light and smooth. And then my friend Lisa, who owns the place with her husband Dave, mentions that they also have a special stew to honor the occasion - a vegan African peanut stew - $4 a cup, $5 for a generous bowl. I'm eating some right now, and it's spicy and delicious. Gotta run.
