Simplicity is sometimes best...

The weeks fly by so fast, that I can barely remember where I was yesterday.  This past weekend that swift passage of time seemed to smack me right in the face.  For the past two years, I could probably count the number of times I missed Sunday brunch at Lola.  I have a fairly meticulous memory and even better record keeping skills, so when we decided we should show our faces at the "see and be seen" brunch spot, I checked to see the last time I had a credit card charge ...April 18?  WHAT?  Are you kidding me?  Over 3 months had passed since we had darkened the door of one of our favorite places in Denver.  I started to think about what I had been spending all my Sunday mornings doing?  Between the trip to New York, me being gone, Dan being gone, yard work, etc. 3 months had slipped away.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that even though we had been completely off the radar, the staff remembered us like we were Norm and Cliff on Cheers.  The food at Lola is so unusual, but always so good and I always enjoy the special that the chef has whipped up for that day, but this week I returned to simplicity...sweet potato hash and scrambled eggs.  Plain and simple scrambled eggs that were so light and fluffy.  The chorizo and peppers mixed in the hash were the perfect pairing for my eggs...(and my cranberry orange mimosa).  Sitting on the patio in the sun, drinking my mimosa, I was reminded why I love that place, and that sometimes our lives get so busy we forget to take pleasure in the simple things.  As things get busier and busier for me, I have to remind myself how quickly life is passing...so with that said...I'll see you Sunday Lola!
