Weather...you like it or not

Its hard to truly describe just how much snow is out there. It seems a bit out of place at this point. Today is not that cold and the sidewalks are almost clear but yet there it is, in huge mounds on every street and corner. Some cars are completely buried still while other folks have entirely shoveled out their spot down to the blacktop. Kinda weird lookin'.

We're probably going through some storm withdrawal because people seemed almost disappointed in the lack of accumulation today. Or was that just me?
We delayed departure until our stomachs took over and did a stroll around the corner to our favorite breakfast spot, Pequena. http://www.pequenarestaurant.com

Usually I get the Chilaquiles Verdes - fried tortilla strips with chicken, topped with cheese in salsa verde. The green sauce is smack dab on the money and if you top it with two fried eggs, its almost too much food, which is almost impossible for me. There is something a little strange about eating chicken and eggs together on a plate but not here. Here there is something just right about it. They perfected this dish. When the egg yolk breaks and mixes with the green sauce and you get a bite of that cheese laden and verde soaked chip.....oh honey. The first bite sets off what I can only describe as multiple non-sexual oral joygasms.


This time around though we both got the Meat Omelet - chorizo or bacon with mushrooms and cheese, served with toast and potatoes. The potatoes have lots of red bell peppers and onions, almost taste like Yucca and are more yellow in color - really good, not at all oily. The omelet is light but also has that great seasoned grilled taste. They must then put it under a broiler of sorts to melt all that Oaxacan cheese. Plenty of buttered toast to go along side and it all works together until the last bite. Every mouthful has flavor, not like some omelets you get when you feel like you're eating a giant egg mattress. The meat is evenly distributed so that you get a nice chunk or chorizo in every bite. It was great.
We love this spot too. I big step up from Academy Diner but they all have their place. The waitress is super friendly and its tiny in there, reminds me of being in a little mexican dollhouse.
