Meryl and I went to Greenpoint, Brooklyn today, and we had ourselves a Christmas Week Luncheon at
Five Leaves (Heath's restaurant).
Much better than the Greyhound Station Cafe--we had a great time!

1 Leaf




2 Leaves




3 Leaves




4 Leaves




Five Leaves (The desserts are on the wall. Very serious!)




6 Leaves (The Kitchen--cleverly situated immediately opposite our table!)




7 Leaves




8 Leaves (The Breakfast ('Brekkie!') Menu--lots of BEANS~
                 and Mr. DelMar sure never heard about them TRUFFLED fries before.




9 Leaves (Great coffee!--oh, right, they call 'em 'Lattes.')




10 Leaves (Meryl arrives!)




11 Leaves (Fries are temptin')




12 Leaves




13 Leaves (In case we need to drown the truffle oil!)




14 Leaves (We love those truffled fries!)




15 Leaves (Hey, even the beans are great!)




16 Leaves (Meryl's Scrambled Eggs with Sage!)

18 Leaves (Burnt--on purposed--Tomato Soup)




19 Leaves (Meryl takes the iPhone, I take the spoon)




20 Leaves




21 Leaves




22 Leaves (No really, the soup was great; I was just thinking about it!)




23 Leaves (We rest.)




24 Leaves




25 Leaves




26 Leaves (Dessert! I have the Early Grey Ice Cream, Meryl has the
                  Mexican Cinnamon Ice Cream, and we both have the shortbread--intense!)




27 Leaves (Meryl takes a picture of me as Rick Warren, thinking I might get an invitation to
                  the Inaug-rashun.' Suddenly I feel spiritual--and fatter. But that was
                  the shortbread and the ice cream.)




28 Leaves (Meryl thinks we should start to mosey--it's getting cold! Like, really, really cold;
                  one of the owners arrive--I think it was Heath's manager, Jud Mongell, very, very friendly--
                  and tells us that the boiler has suddenly died. They are putting on electric heat. We say
                  they should start burning the chairs--he looked nonplused--it was a joke!




29 Leaves (Even Mrs. Twist would approve.)




30 Leaves (Very clean.)




31 Leaves (And Spiritual.)




32 Leaves (Politely, we do not burn the chairs.)




33 Leaves (A Ledger ancestor? Probably not!)

I love going to lunch with you two!  :-*

I was excited by the Earl Grey ice cream, I was hoping we were going to have that when I saw it on the menu.  :)

It's an unprepossessing lil place, in' it?  I expected grander.  Or at least plus grand. 

Wonder what Heath would a et.  Did you see the table with the chess board top that we read about?

I feel sad and happy.

Meryl:
 :laugh: John!  You are too funny.  ;D

For some reason, this made me laugh so hard!  I look like the Sphinx anticipating the next course.  :laugh:

Thank you for another marvelous culinary adventure, full of Brokie goodness.  And thank you for my beautiful present!  :-*  :-*  :-*
