Lakeside 2008--a happy Lakesider!

Another Lakeside artist gave my husband a gift certificate to Summer Stock, a tiny deli and "take and bake" spot in Lakeside sharing the laundry building/former fire station. For three days this week (hours are a bit irregular because there's a light crowd in week 9) he was disappointed that he couldn't get his Belgium waffle, his summer-long plan for that gift certificate. But today--success! He even got an extra waffle for his patience and persistence. The usual order ($5.95) is 2 homemade waffles, maple syrup, whipped cream and fruit. Yum!





"How was it," I asked.
"Fabulous, best ever," he replied.
"Will you get another one?"
"No, not this year. Maybe next."

The man has such discipline! Other sample items on Summer Stock's menu include sandwiches, $6.99: Picnic in the park: slow roasted pulled pork barbecue smothered in a secret sauce; The Hoover: Genoa Ham, provolone, mayo. Salad bowls, $8.00: Cobb; Insalata Neapolitana; Spinach and berries. Take 'n Bake for 4 (price varies from $33 to $52): rosemary roasted chicken & wild rice with summer veggies; beef tenderloin kabobs with vegetables; lemon pepper linguine with fresh basil, sundried tomato parmesan and garlic olive oil. Lite bites: fresh salsa and chips (Michelle says this is Obama's downfall); gazpacho soup and chips. Desserts: white chocolate toffee brownie (I put on 5 lbs just typing this); summer berry layered cake.

So where was I, besides taking the photos? Well, I had my usual breakfast--a crisp, sliced apple and walnuts. I don't do sweets for breakfast, or I'd be eating all day. Try it. You'd be surprised how a no sugar, no wheat, no dairy breakfast can hold until lunch.Summer Stock; food & flowers
