I heard from my friend who I thought I had lost. I went for a jog; I was light with happiness. I saw the painting below on the back of the bathroom across from Beach Java. I stopped to photograph it because the woman in the painting looks like my friend. Only my friend doesn't have a mustache or keep a fish under her hat.
I was so elated that I created a special dessert:
Mélange à noix Maniaque-Dépressif
Mix 1 part semi-sweet chocolate chips with 3 parts lightly salted peanuts. If you already finished off bottle of wine from dinner, find thermos of leftover coffee from breakfast and pour into cup. Wash down melange with cold coffee.
