the month, the necklace on the Philippino woman at her carry out restaurant, one of the three favorite shapes of the four year old sweet spirit I got to babysit Friday night.
A markedly sensational intro to this first officially fall-felt month.
Yesterday evening, my roommate Charity and I decided to travel our way to downtown Knoxville in order to order from Philippine Connection, on the city's far NE side. We shared a small veggie 'adobo,' served by a woman who seemed as familiar with hardening and her cultural heritage as she was with the city-culture around her. She wore a tight-fancy textile shirt and gold jewelry; the thick, flat, broad kind on which some people slip charms. Hers was an octopus, wrappped around with an appearance of holding on, looking strong and intimidating, and maybe a little tired.
Char and I left, carrying out with our meal a sccent that filled the car with a residual having-just-spent-ten-minutes-taking-in-everything-about-the-take-out-shack waft.
From there, we proceded to Old City and parked at Barley's. She split the carry out box in two; lid and bottom, such that we'd each have something from which to eat. Smart girl! Though it may or may not have been healthful, our meal made for pal-enty between the two of us, menu price 3.25 (cheap eatin!)
In an effort to help her make closer acquaintance with Knoxville, we headed to Java for coffee and some studyin, where we got a brief, one-spaced-out-cup, bold taste of both. We also had a couple cookies, zip-locked and waiting to enrich our study time.
Big and chocolate chip and walnutty,
some of the batch of
my payment for babysitting :).
