I'm really full of diner food today (did I say that out loud?)

Felt like all I did was eat today. It's not true. I only ate two meals today, albeit two fairly large meals. I first got a call from a good friend, N. She only had a half day of work so she suggested meeting for lunch at Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe in Emeryville. Of course I would meet her for lunch. It would be a nice break from her children for some adult conversation. Don't get me wrong, she loves her kids, and so do I, but there is always room to have some time away for herself. It was a beautiful sunny day with just a bit of a breeze. We met just about 1:00, just after the lunch rush so we were lucky and got a booth. I really don't think I've had a bad meal at Can't Fail. I usually have breakfast here, though I have had lunch here too. Today's special was Four Cheese Mac and Cheese. Tempting. I wished it was either Tuesday (Fried Chicken) or Wednesday (Meatloaf) but it was Thursday. Wasn't up for a burger. Almost had a salad but I could eat lettuce at home. I settled for a Mile High Club (triple decker toasted sourdough sandwich with smoked turkey, bacon, tomato, lettuce, mayo) with French Fries, hold the onions. N had breakfast that sounded good, 'My Own Private Eyedaho'. It is described as hash browns covered with melted cheddar topped with one egg sunny side up (N ordered the two egg version). We talked about whatever. Some of it was her work, some was movies or television. We had a good time. The food came fairly quickly. N's food looked a bit diappointing. It was just a rectangle of hash browns (pale hash browns) with a bit of melted cheese on it and two sunny side eggs on top. Looked rather lonely on the plate. It probably was only about a two inch by five inch rectangle of potato. My food on the other hand was a fairly large portion. The sandwich was cut into triangular quarters. If it were to be reassembled and set up on the place it would be about three and a half to four inches high. The fries were piping hot. They weren't fresh cut fries, they were the 'coated' sort of fries. But that didn't matter to me, I actually like that kind of fry plus they were hot. I didn't even finish (thought I pretty much did), ended up eating three of the quarters and then just the turkey and bacon from the last quarter. There were maybe seven fries left. We just sat for a while more talking until she had to leave to pick up the kids. It was a nice way for me to pretty much begin the day outside the house.
