Hamburger

Eastside Road, January 8, 2012—

LUNCH WITH FRIENDS — a sort of business lunch, too — at a restaurant they're connected with over in Sebastopol. Sunday Brunch was what the menu said, but we'd had our Sunday soft-boiled eggs for breakfast, so I passed up further ovae and opted instead for a nice Niman-Schell hamburger, rare, no cheese, no bacon, yes to mustard, tomato, onion, lettuce. A nice dish, this.
