Pim

That's the brand of those yummy little European cookies one would find at the grocery store from time to time. Also the name of the woman whose blog I adore. Check out her site here: Chez Pim

Had a plesant lunch today at the Carolina Club. My very kind boss, the art librarian, took the four graduating members of the library staff for a farewell meal. I'm apparently not the only one lost for direction for where to go after graduation, which is kind of good to know.

Three out of the five of us ordered the same dish of tea encrusted salmon with asparagus and cauliflower mash.
The salmon was tasty, though I don't know if the crushed tea leaves coating it did anything to improve the fish's flavor. We couldn't resist the temptation of the dessert cart, and shared a mixed berry cobbler, chocolate silk pie (which had a texture more like mousse than silk) and a slice of the signature key lime pie with a pistachio crust. None of the pies or cobbler was especially spectacular, but the whipped cream on the keylime pie was quite good.

I heart Three Cups coffee/tea shop. They have very friendly service. There's a sandwich place adjoining Three Cups that is scheduled to open next week. That's even more reason for me to frequent the place.

Speaking of friendly service, I treated myself to a leisurely solo lunch at Talullas on Tuesday and left my very nice waiter a thank you note for his service.

Then later on that day I chopped some of my hair off, again. So now I have short bangs, and not a lot of hair. I think I look a little boyish, although I have gotten many compliments on the haircut. I think I was a pretty good walking billboard today for Moshi Moshi, the salon I visited for the cut; I've gotten many inquiries about the place. I miss my hair. And messy pigtails and braids.

Must write paper. I must be addicted to peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwiches. *munch*
