Columbia’s Gourmet Shop (GS) in 5 Points is changing lives. I recently met 3 co-workers* there for a late Saturday lunch. The 4 of us may or may not own matching T-shirts from a local pub, Hunter-Gatherer (H-G), so we’re pretty geeky. But maybe GS can help remedy that. We sampled two of their desserts- red velvet cake & tuxedo balls- highly recommended (& I think I can speak for the group). Coming soon on a Saturday, we also plan to do their dollar-a-glass wine tasting. (Geekiness solved?)Co-worker AmyBeth, who we call AB, landed a new nickname for herself during the recent lunch at GS. Suffering from sinus and ear infections & nursing those with meds, she wasn’t herself. Carrie sat to her left & did some interpreting, making apologies for a few of AB's comments (“that’s the codeine talking”), then later just found it easier to call AB “Codeine.” The nicknames might seem like a little much, but they keep us entertained. One of the more insightful** among us, Leanna, has been dubbed “Crystal Ball” among other things. Not funny unless you’d been there the day at H-G that she was trying to come up with some wisdom, when she motioned as if she were consulting a crystal ball.
Back to GS- if you head there soon, you’ll have to share a dessert with friends (3 or 4 ways might do- so rich). Have a ball! (just excuse the loud Saturday chatter)
*I freakin love these people!
**AmyBeth/Codeine would say "inceptive" (she insists it's a word:)
