I handed the sheet to my girlfriend, Sienna. She squinted, scrutinizing the faded menu closely. It was a standard, letter-size, tri-fold brochure, printed on both sides of gray card stock that was becoming limp with age.
“Wow! Where did you get this?”
“My mother found it in the barn the other day,” I said.
“These food prices are absolutely amazing.”
There’s a lot of literature written about the oyster, and its place in human history. In many areas of the world, archeologists link the oyster to the sustenance of our earliest of human ancestors, and write about the great oystershell middens scattered about the prehistoric landscape. Poets and writers, both past and present, praise the oyster with eloquent lines of verse and prose. Quotes and anecdotes, too, share our thoughts and joys for the oysters we hold dear.
One morning after dropping my wife off at work, whimsy struck. I didn't even have a cup of coffee in me (and hence wasn't really thinking linearly yet) and I swung into a store and bought a waffle iron. That purchase has changed breakfast forever.
