That’s a crazy jump in price Kathie. And because it likely went up a few cents at a time nobody really noticed. Ooh, a powdered chocolate would also be a fine edition to the designs on the froth.Open Air Weekends started on Friday evening. The town closes down three blocks. There is entertainment and shops and restaurants move their wares out on to the street. The gang went down at 5:30. We met at “Frate” which advertises itself as a “street food that will make your tastebuds dance”. They actually operate out of a converted shipping container! Lu-Ann and I shared a double smash burger that came with crispy fries and an order of balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts for $44 including tax and a tip. Very tasty and for our area, reasonably priced. Here’s where things went a little downhill. We ordered two 6 oz glasses of wine from the inside (no prices posted) bar. Now, last weekend we met a friend at a winery and wine was $9 a glass or $33 for the bottle. When the bill for the wine came it was $15.00. PER GLASS. Before tax. Before tip. The bottle Lisa, Doug and Brenda shared…$61.00. While we will go back to Frate we won’t be enjoying a glass of wine. Ava and I headed out this morning and it was 44F! I checked the calendar and it is indeed June 1. As I peck away at the keyboard an hour later it is 42F. Crazy weather.I cleared the back garden and I think one of the hibiscus bushes will be OK. Fingers crossed for the other. And I got the grass cut so today is free for whatever Lu-Ann may like to get in to.I hope all of you have a wonderful day. I’ll check back on you all later on.
