Damn, now I want that omelette. My mouth is watering. Seriously.

[akirlu]

It was a completely amazing omelette. Particularly because all the flavors showed up distinctly and harmoniously, instead of one or another overpowering the rest. By itself, a good reason to have breakfast in Bellingham.

The last time I was in Bellingham it was to visit my sister on my way to Vancouver with Dave Clements to see the Visible Targets open for Simple Minds. Pre-Breakfast Club. So you know, I'm overdue.

Well, it's an easy day trip to visit Bellingham from Seattle. If you're in town anyway, that is.

I want to eat that picture!

[akirlu]

Well, maybe you should join us the next time we make a pilgrimage to Skagit River Brewing for the Trumpeter Ale, once winter ales are in season.

[randy_byers]

Ooh, yes, please! Just bought a bottle of last winter's Dick's Double Diamond to set aside for further aging.

Okay, I'll mark you down for the next road trip to Mt. Vernon, then.

Oh, I saw that picture of fruit on Flicker and wanted it. I don't know why restaurants don't offer more fruit.

[akirlu]

Part of the fruit thing may be regional and/or class related, but also there's the question of prep time versus freshness. Most restaurants like to do their prep for things like fruit and salad before they open when there isn't the traffic of hot food being cooked and plated interfering with the prep time. But a lot of fruit doesn't hold up that well to sitting around all day after it's been sliced, so you generally only see it in places that feel like they can charge higher prices to cover just-in-time prep, or who do a large volume of breakfast business that orders fruit.

Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure that milkshakes are included in the repertoire of the cafe at Village Books.
