I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

I love traditional breakfast foods

Oh, I adore a lot of traditional breakfast foods. I just prefer eating them for dinner or possible Sunday brunch. I like sleeping in more than I like eating first thing in the morning, and I'm usually vaguely nauseated when I first wake up anyway.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I don't think it would get a studio around here. My mother's got an offer in on a two bedroom. It's nearly twice that. There are some two bedrooms around here going for 400K or more. It's sick.

Well, it depends on the burb in question. Some places are like your experience, others, like my crappy town, small single-family homes start at around 100k.

I like most breakfast foods. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, french toast, bagles, and donuts--yum. Most breakfast food seems designed to be eaten slowly while downing gallons of coffee and reading the Sunday NY Times. At least, in my perfect world it is.

yes, and I'm shrift in my not really being able to eat first thing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I need a second breakfast this morning -- my first one didn't take. I haven't stopped moving since I got here today, and it's already 1...GAH. Maybe there's a deli that's still doing egg sandwiches. I can't deal with real food on a day like this.

speaking of breakfast foods, I had the yummiest brunch on Sunday, a sweet potato and chorizo hash with over easy eggs on top. SO GOOD!

What is even happening?

Well, it depends on the burb in question. Some places are like your experience, others, like my crappy town, small single-family homes start at around 100k.

Yeah. Small, single family homes start near 400K, here. Two and a half years ago, we sold a 2BR (5 room total) house for about 375K. It had a 30 year old roof, and a 60 year old furnace, and no garage.

Was that at home, Nora, or was that out some place? Some place I really need to know about.

Frank, we went to Red Rock Bistro in Swampscott: [link]

Excellent, excellent brunch. Also, super Bloody Marys. Right on the water.

Also, we went to Major Magleashes in Salem for a couple of pitchers on Friday night. Do you know that place?

Ah, yes, Red Rock - I've been there. That must have been a special or a new addition to the menu - it's been a few years at this point.

That other place I've been in maybe twice. It's not quite as scary inside as it looks from the outside, but it really didn't hold any interest for me (granted, that was also pre-smoking ban - you can imagine what it was like then). Cheap drinks, though.
