I don’t need much encouragement for a hearty breakfast — it’s by and large my favorite meal of the day — but there’s something about a rainy day and a pewter sky that whets my appetite.
So it was this morning when I slid into a booth at at 3100 E. Colfax Ave., scanning the menu for something new amid the old favorites. And one popped out: The Peggy Sue scramble, a pile of fluffy eggs loaded with sauteed green peppers, tomatoes and black olives, topped with a generous dollop of herbed cream cheese. Hash browns on the side, because that’s how they roll. (Gotta say, I do miss the cheesy scalloped potatoes that were once an option, which were inexplicably removed from the menu some time back.)
So snugged in my booth, I ate my breakfast, read my newspaper, then worked the crossword puzzles as a steady hiss rose from passing tires on the rain-soaked street. Oh, to have gone straight back to bed until the sun came out again.
Or it was time for another breakfast.
