A day in Downtown Asheville
Today we had lunch at the Early Girl Eatery, and got to meet a friend of Ted’s sister, Bethany. For those of you following the vegetarian food log, the Early Girl featured a menu ripe with delicious meatless dishes. I had a sesame tofu salad with—get this—grit croutons. They were tasty little critters, sort of like tater tots, but made of gritty goodness. yum… We also snapped this photo of the sugar flask for Joe. At about 5 inches tall and 7 inches wide (with a spout bigger than your thumb), we estimate this holds about four free-flowing cups. After lunch, we took a stroll around downtown Asheville. A couple places showcase pieces by local artists, including this one, Spiked Punch Bowl (in case you can’t tell, it’s made from railroad spikes painted safety orange, cradling a glass bowl). We also took a trip to the Grove Arcade, an old refurbished building housing shops and cafés, including a space where Ted’s mom, Donna, sometimes sells her yarn and fabric handiwork. She never sets out to make something to sell, but she sells a lot (the shop was sold out of her felted hats when we visited). A couple bonus photos: Ted doing the 150-knot dance, and a thoughtful Hilde, the family Schnauzer.

Okay, so if you had the delightful tofu concoction, did the rest of
the family order the early girl? Are there real girlscouts in those cookies?

The rest of the family: lemme see… Bethany and Carol had the Portabella Mushroom Hoagies; mom had the vegetable plate (far more interesting than it sounds; basically her choice of three of their yummy sides, which included things like butternut squash salad and some other fabulous selections); dad had a Chicken Caesar Salad, and Ted a BBQ chicken sandwich (I think)).
Originally, we thought the name of the place was the Easy Girl, which was maybe a bit funnier than Early Girl.
