SATURN DEVOURING HIS CHILDREN (1824) by Francisco de Goya.

i am a lovely dish
on a porcelain dinner plate.
who has the pleasure of devouring me tonight?
is it lust?
on some nights, that answer would be right,
but this time the diner is one
with a more refined taste.
his name is ambition
and he drools as he stares at my face.
he prefers to eat me raw like oysters on a half shell,
relishes in my taste and puts me through hell.
i wish the roles were reversed--
that i could be sitting in a fine dining establishment
and order plates of ambition to my heart's content.
i would eat like a glutton and be worry-free,
having taken control of what controls me.
but of course this is just a dream--
ambition bites my head so i can't concentrate,
then he plays with my body as he scrapes the plate.
is it too late to decide
that i don't want to be consumed?
or will i forever be confined
to this miserable doom?
i am food,
meant to be chewed and digested
by plans that i myself suggested.
although it hurts to be bitten
by my own brainchild,
there's no place i'd rather be right now.
i am in a time of transition,
not fully cooked
but attractive enough to be eaten,
strong enough to be on the plate
and not lying in a corner beaten.
i have this plan...
since i taste rather delicious,
once ambition has scarfed me down
and scraped all the dishes,
i will cause a chemical reaction in his insides
and play with the pool
where his stomach acid resides.
i will swim there and cause a riot
until he realizes all too late
that he can't tolerate me in his diet.
from there he will regurgitate
and i will come out victorious
before it's too late.
i am not just a lovely dish
on a porcelain dinner plate,
but one who has learned to wait
until the appropriate time and hour to fight.

i am not one to be devoured.
i sit at the table tonight
and i have the power.

So, we're changing our Saturday hours to 7 am -1 pm and we'll only be offering cold beverages, coffee, hot chocolate, chili and maybe a soup. Just enough to keep you going while shopping during the cool fall months.

The one great thing is Herb'n Renewal will continue to set up each Saturday inside Caros! You'll still be able to find the wonderful seasoning that our “Grill Man” Drew creates. Mrs Drew, Karin, will start bringing in her wonderful holiday gift baskets soon! You'll be able to find them in all price ranges. And, don't forget her wonderful homemade soaps! She uses only the finest ingredients to create some wonderful, full lather bars of highly (or not at all) scented soaps.

So, if you are downtown visiting the farmers market make sure you come by and warm up with a cup of great coffee, a bowl of wonderful chili and shop at Herb'n Renewal.

Here are some of the drawings and paintings I submitted.  My concentration should come as no surprise to anyone reading this blog.

If you watch ABC's World News with Charles Gibson, Blue's Cafe is a place you may actually heard of.  A few weeks ago (September 18 to be exact) Barbara Pinto showed up in Kankakee to do a Wall Street vs. Main St. story.  Blue's Cafe was one of the places she visited to get the "regular Joe" insight into the financial crisis.

Blue's Cafe is a spot that many people in the area automatically suggest when I ask for a local restaurant.  According to my brother, the food is ok, but the pie is to die for.  As I was waiting with my family for my niece to be born, my aunt mentioned she was hungry and hadn't eaten all day.  Since I'm always hungry, I offered to go to "lupper" (the meal between lunch and supper) with her.  Since everybody always suggests it, I said "How about Blue's?"

Blue's Cafe is located on Station Street not far from the hospital.  It's a very plain building with an old sign out front adorned with an old Pepsi logo and the words "Blue's Cafe."  Since we got there at such a wierd time, the dining room was fairly empty.  There are two dining rooms that probably used to be the smoking and non-smoking section before Illinois got smart and banned smoking in public places.  There's also a lunch counter near the kitchen in the first dining room.

My aunt and I grabbed a table in the second dining room and a waitress brought us water and a couple menus.  Since I had a big lunch, I wasn't super hungry, but knew I needed to eat something not knowing when I would get another meal.  I ordered the grilled chicken breast sandwich and a Pepsi.  I thought the sandwich seemed awfully cheap.  Once I got my chicken, I realized why.  No fries.  No sides.  Just a sandwich.  That's ok.  I didn't need fries anyway.  The grilled chicken was actually pretty good.  It was caramelized in several places.  It wasnt' huge, but filled the need.

My aunt ordered a chicken salad sandwich and a cup of chili.  The chili was brought out right away and she dove in with the oyster crackers served on the side.  It wasn't a huge cup, but she's really cold blooded and that chili warmed her up quick.  Her sandwich was served on wheat bread so you get the idea of the size.  She didn't say anything about it either way and I didn't ask any questions.

Even though Blue's is known for pie, we both passed and headed back to the hospital to wait some more.  Blue's was good diner food in a good atmosphere.  Everyone who was in there seemed to know each other.  Our bill was about $12 for the two sandwiches, chili and two pops.  Definitely not horrible.  Blue's is a place I would go back for breakfast, but lunch was nothing outstanding.  Good solid staples, but not gonna knock your socks off.
