Avocado Salad by Saint Veeny

On the 1st nite I touched down at Mafia Hill,
a beautiful plate of tangerines greeted me
extremely lurve the grapes
they were so sweet
most of all, I was already salivating over Saint Veeny's avocado salad
since we were on the plane fr Athens to Cyprus
croutons, aragula. ripe avocados in honey mustard sauce.
Saint Veeny threw in some crispy fried bacon for MONKEY!!!!
now u see it, now u don't
save the best for the last!!!

as Couchie George said it...Saint Veeny's salad deserves a wine!!
CHEERS!!!!

Breakfast @ Zonar's

Zonar's came fr a very humble beginning,
it was owned by a sheep farmer
who had unlimited supply of milk

with that over supply...he opened a cafe
and today it's a cafe to be seen at
u won't need this menu to order at Zonar's
or u'll go bonkers with the coffee list.

I don't even know wat to drink.
and the cakes and sweets....
