More Brunch

I've been on a brunch kick (hey, ya can't ever go wrong with brunch, it's two meals in one so it's ok to over indulge) and after some consideration we thought we would give Lola a whirl. Everyday I bike past this restaurant on my way home from work and envy the patrons sitting on the patio enjoying the happy hour. It always looks so inviting and lively! Immediately after Lola is the local ice cream shop, Little Man and people are usually spilling out onto the sidewalk staring at me huff and puff up the hill as they eat their delicious looking ice cream while I look longingly at their waffle cones. My bike ride home is an exercise in self control that I often fail. Miserably.

So I really, really wanted to be one of those happy shiny people laughing on the patio fo Lola and I decided brunch was where it was at. I saved up an especially mighty appetite for Lola's one saturday morning recently. But it ended in sadness because after an order of home made donuts, bloodies and a bennie I was still hungry. Real hungry. Everything tasted awesome, but there was just so little of it. I thought the cheesy grit cake underneath my poached egg was going to be a little more generous in size, instead it was dwarfed by the egg (which is hard to do). I wanted it to be so much more and there just wasn't.

I guess I'll just have to stick to their happy hour and amazing dinners. Although the bloody mary bar sounds pretty tempting on Sundays...maybe after I make breakfast at home a nice bloody mary can be enjoyed on the sunny patio of Lola's.
