Go for the pies, stay for the #quiche ... And #pastries! @nilespieco Thanks for the tasty lunch! . Today seemed like the kind of day you just have a random thought and decide to follow through with it. A change of scenery or experiencing something new has been known to change my mood. That and retail therapy. Either way, today's mood needed changing. It had been hanging around for more than a week and it wasn’t pretty. It was time for a field trip. . I was in that “coffee on an empty stomach” place and I was having a tough time figuring out what I wanted to eat. Or the indecision could have been from my general inability to make simple choices when my brain and mood are grey and tired. Even things as simple as getting something to eat take on a confusing labyrinth of choices when that happens. What do I feel like having? What sounds good? What would taste good? I continued to gaze at the displayed items. The quiche in front looked good. I could see some chunks of ham and I knew there would be cheese. And eggs. I love eggs. The day was beginning to look up. . Digging into the pie, it occured to me that this is what I wanted to eat without even knowing it. I could have chosen anything, but this? This “hit the spot”. I’m thinking deep thoughts as I shovel up globs of hot and satisfying meat/cheese/egg goodness with each fork full. I’m satisfied in a way that makes me smile for the first time all day. Isn’t it wonderful that there are things out in the world that can catch us by surprise (In a good way)? Something as simple as a well made "egg pie" was able to, at once, nourish my belly and, dare I say, my soul? Even if for just a brief moment. . As I pulled out of the parking lot and into traffic, the grey sky finally gave way to the clear blue. And up ahead, it would be time for me to turn the corner and start the trip back home. #SWSeats #nilespie #unioncity #eatlocalish #pie (at Niles Pie Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzsnYKBmg1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e7da5vfs3exj
