2 bowls of muesli with a banana and skim milk; soy flat white; Jago’s sublime rockmelon-less, honeydew melon-less fruit salad; olive and rosemary dinner roll; demi-light sourdough baguette with butter; half a Hummingbird cake; cookies and cream gelato from Gelatomassi supplemented by some of Paul’s chocolate
I got waylaid on my way to the Stanton Library by some markets. I was plied with all manner of bread from the stallholder of Brasserie Breads and ended up being talked into buying a partly crushed baguette for $1, which was really very tasty. It resembled and was almost as good as ‘a l’ancienne’ that I used to eat by the crate-load in Paris, except that it had half organic sourdough yeast, making it a little chewier and more flavoured than I prefer. So far, so good today, I haven’t eaten too much yet.

In terms of ridiculous restaurant requests, I didn’t think I could top my special fruit salad order, that is, until I asked if I could eat the bread I had bought at the markets with lunch at the restaurant. The waitress brought me some butter and a butter knife. It just goes to show- ask and you shall have.
