"4"^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ . . "4"^^ . . "This morning my co-workers and I met for an impromptu \"breakfast\" at Willo Baking Company. It was such a gorgeous morning, so we sat outside on the slightly reclining patio chairs that make you feel like you should be on the beach (only you're on McDowell Rd.). \n\nI enjoyed a truly fabulous cup of coffee, and the three of us each had a different type of pastry or muffin.\n\nI'm not much of a \"dessert at breakfasttime\" kind of person, but I really wanted to indulge, so I had a raspberry danish. The danish had actual fresh raspberries in the center, and it was perfect! \n\n(Speaking of my issue with dessert first thing in the AM, I should mention that I brought my own hard boiled egg with me so I could have something healthy before devouring a ton of sugar. The man working at Willo even tapped on the glass and held up a packet of salt with a smile. It was funny.) \n\nIt was so peaceful sitting there, and I found it quite funny that we could tilt our necks and see the mob gathering outside Starbucks just across the intersection. I do enjoy some Starbucks from time to time, but this particular morning, I was awfully glad to be away from the hub-bub of a busy morning."^^ . "2008-04-02T00:00:00"^^ . .
