"Leslie's Place"

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I owned my own restaurant...............

It would be small and charming, with barstools at the counter that swivel, like the ones in an old fashioned diner.  The seat cushions - red leather, with shiny, chrome holding them up.

The sign at the front door would read:

              "Open for Breakfast and Lunch (Your mom is expecting you home for dinner)" 



sauted garlic, mushrooms, and spinach

 It would be a neighborhood restaurant - tucked in, somewhere unnoticed, but the regulars would know where to go to find it.  

The menu would be simple. 

Eggs ordered just about any way you like it - hard boiled, soft boiled, poached, fried, scrambled, scrambled with................

garlic, onions, olives, artichokes,
mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers,
spinach, cilantro, basil, cheese.   

Is it an omelette you would prefer? 

MY specialty! 

All fresh, organic ingredients. 
Vegetables and herbs sauted in olive oil (and just a tease of butter), until tender and golden brown. 
Add in the eggs, and watch the ingredients consummate. 
Just a sprinkle of cheese to finish it off, and .......................voila! 

The perfect combination of flavor and color on a plate. 

Add a nice glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, and a good strong cup of coffee (served in one of a collection of unique coffee mugs), and you are about to start your day in a perfect way.

...........and for lunch? 

Eggs and omelettes will be served all day, but if it is a fresh salad or a sandwich, served on your choice of  bread, or a hot cup of homeade soup you would prefer.....................we have those, too. 

Just a few to choose from, but all "out of this world". 

Is it pasta you like? 

Order the "Pasta with...............", and add in any ingredients you would like.

Not to mention, our fresh rotisserie chicken, roasted daily, which can be added to your "scrambled with....", your "pasta with................", your sandwich, or your salad.    

Can't make up your mind? 

Order the "Leslie"...................and you can be certain that we will bring you something good. 

What's the name of this joint? 

I am tossing a few ideas around -

     "The Odd Egg",

          "Scrambled Egg",

               "The Egg Shack",

                    "The Chicken or the Egg", 

But for now, while it is only in my head,
    
     I think the most appropriate title would be, simply........................

                                                                                         "Leslie's Place".
