Happy Halloween everyone! I love Halloween. I went out on Saturday night as the Dionne Quintuplets (spelling?) I dressed up as a five year old (from he 30s of course) and because I was sick I bought 4 dolls from the dollar store and made them outfits to matchmine and attached them to the front of my dress. It was a little creepy. Today my costume is lower key; I'm dressed as James. And tonight I'm going to see Friday the 13th part III in 3D at the royal. I'm really excited because it's 3D with the clear glasses not the blue and red ones. The blue and red ones don't work for me on account of the blind eye. I wish I had more teenager slutty Haloween costume anecdotes to continue our series but I don't. Sorry Kelly. Oh but I did have someone tell me their friend went as a sexy sandwich one year. How does one make cold cuts and cheese sexy?
Blood and guts stew $10
Mozzerella and watercress omelette
1 chocolate chip muffin left
Pepper squash and parsnip soup
Child tongue souffle $16
Maybe I should have dressed as slutty James today, but I don't know how James would slut it up.

Re: Hallowe'en and Kristan's Tuesday (?) blog
Funny enough, I was in Kensington the other day, and I was trying on a dress in a changeroom, and this was the conversation that the teenagers (two boys and one girl) were having on the other side of my changeroom curtain:
Boy: What about the other dress?
Girl: It wasn't really slutty enough.
Other boy: Well what's wrong with this one?
Girl: This one's slutty, but I don't know what I would be with this dress.
The other day my roommate was looking for Hallowe'en costume ideas on the internet (which is always useless because it's just a lot of stupid ads) and the heading "teenage nun costume" came up, and so of course we had to see what it was, and it is a strapless habit-dress with a slit up the leg.
Anyways...
Specials today are broccoli-cheddar omelette, mushroom-leak soup. and banana muffins (I think a couple are left).

Omelet is sauteed mushrooms, green onions and feta.
The soup is tomato and basmati rice
Listening to The Stars and drinking espresso. Looking out the window and missing the sun.

I was walking around Kensington one rainy day (because there hasn't been any other type of day lately) and I passed a pair of teenagers, a boy and a girl:
Boy: So, what are you going to be for Halloween?
Girl: (Casualy shrugging her shoulders) A zombie hooker.
We are out out out of banana pancakes AND blueberry muffins! We appologize but we can't keep them from the morning piggies.
Our omelette is leek and caraway spiced gouda.
Our soup is rosemary butternut squash.
Gotta go and check on Douglas upstairs in the real world.

Todays Specials:
Baby spinach and cheddar omelet
Mango and chocolate-chip muffins
Butternut squash and rosemary soup
It's been consistently chilly these days so we've had to close the patio. For those crisp and sunny days days ahead we'll leave a couple of chairs out back, maybe a bench for people to get cozy and sip lattes together.
The sausage and waffle combo we've been serving on the weekends is proving to be very popular. In fact so popular that we ran out of sausage! So there is no sausage to be had at Morning Glory for the rest of the week. We are sausage nil.
Somebody has been stealing our weekend paper of the front step lately. I know it's not Adam from upstairs he steals the Wednesday paper. Please keep an eye out for anyone with a copy of the Saturday or Sunday Toronto Star, it could be Morning Glory's.
Due to the breakdown in contract negotiations with our union, Doug and I will be on "work-to-rule" until further notice. That means we might be wearing ball caps in the kitchen and only cooking food to order. That means also that we will be smilling less and huddling around in groups complaining about how shit our job is.

Today on MGB: Rock 'n' Roll.
On Monday I had to miss the sold-out-for-about-1000-years Wolf Parade concert because I had an essay due on Tuesday morning and I had approximately the whole thing left to write. Really, really disappointing. But if I had gone I wouldn't have finished the essay, and by not going I managed to write a pretty decent paper. I thought, it's just a concert. School is more important. Well, today James told me that nothing is more important than rock 'n' roll. He said that a few years back, he was working at a stressful job, and his friend called him up and said, let's go to the Joe Strummer concert tonight, and James said, uh, no, I don't think so. I have to work early tomorrow morning, I think I'll pass. So he didn't go. And then a few short months later, Joe Strummer - one of James' long-time rock 'n' roll idols - died. He wished he hadn't passed up that concert.
James says, "Rock 'n' roll took Western culture and blew it out of the water. Rock 'n' roll is responsible for all of the freedoms that we enjoy today."
He may also be trying to tell me that when a really fun opportunity comes up to go out the night before I have to work early in the morning, I shouldn't pass it up.
Specials today: Spanish omelette (tomato, potato, yellow pepper, red onion and cheddar); carrot-ginger soup; banana muffins. But there is only one more banana muffin.

Some one left the Dose magazine here today and I flipped to a quote from Scarlette Johansen "Of course I beilieve in plastic surgery . . . I don't want to be an old hag." Frig, can we stop our fear of aging already? I'm actually excited to get older. I won't worry so much about how I look and I'll be secure with myself. I already have it planned, I'm going to wear a pirate patch over my right eye ( I'm blind in my right eye. I was born with a cataract and it was before they knew it was safe to do lense implants in babies. It's only a matter of years before my eye goes completely wonky, alot of years but none the less. I'm like the guy in Waiting for Guffman who needs magnifying perscription to straigten his eye. ) it's going to be awsome. I'll dress even crazier and be able to tell cute guys that their cute without being embarrased. I even think sex will be better (think Harold and Maude). That's all the rambling I have for today.
The amazing mixed nut muffins are all gone. I think we'll start making an extra batch in th mornings.
The omelette is zucchini, sundried tomato and mozzerella.
The soup is chick pea
We have my Pickled Madness today ( egg salad with pickled eggs, artichoke hearts, and dill pickles) $5.50
I think that's it.
Sincerely,
Kristan

Honestly, this was something Kristan overheard this morning during the breakfast rush: "So, it turns out I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat."
So as we heave a collective sigh of relief let's take a look at ways to fatten ourselves up. It's getting colder and darker out there so it's time to put some insulation on those bones.
Our apple pancakes have an R2000 rating if you pair them up with bacon or sausage.
The omelet is a draft proof combination of goat cheese and Belgian endive. (Does anyone know what a non Belgian endive might be? Is there simply an endive out there that has not been claimed by a country. Perhaps I'm an old commie but what about an internationalist endive?)
The soup is a house warming curried chickpea.
We are all out of mango and chocolate-chip muffins which is too bad because they're great for stuffing into cracks around windows and doors.
Put some fire in the furnace with our ever wonderful lattes and capaccinos and if don't already know yet, we are selling Morning Glory blend coffee by the pound.
Last one out turn down the thermostat and hit the lights.
Perhaps I am being a blog monster, so I shall let Kristan write to you on Thursday

Haven't done this in a while. I was in Regina for a week (a word which I refused to say when I was in grade five) and then I just didn't blog last week. Doug and James were little blog monsters, that's okay though, they do own the restaurant after all.
M my
O one blog
N no sleep
D do you think I can make it interesting
A and fun for
Y you hungry hippos (a game which I had to wait to go to my friend's house to play because it was to noisy for my mother's frequent migrains so we weren't allowed to have it.)
The apple cinnamon muffins, which smelled like Beaver Tails, are all gone.
The omelette is baby spinach and feta.
The soup is tomato veggie.
Like riding a bike.

Doug, I would like to congratulate you on your blogging skills. A week ago you didn't even know what blog meant, and today you have demonstated yourself as a real first-class blogger.

Today we have a tomato, green onion and cheddar omelette; banana muffins(which are as good as any June Cleaver ever made, if I do say so myself); tomato-vegetable soup; the Salmon Sarnie; and the Pickled Madness sandwich. The other sandwiches from the summer menu have made their way onto the new updated and improved full-time menu, but some how these two lost their way. Poor little fellas. Perhaps by the time we update our menu again, they'll have sorted themselves out and found their way back to the rest of the pack.
...untill then, pray for their poor poor lost little sarnie souls.
sniff.

Dear Blog,
Today we are making zucchini and parmesan omelets. We have sweet potato soup. It is good. We had honey-date and walnut muffins but people ate them all. We don't have any more. That is bad. We have sausage patties from Chrissie the butcher. She is nice. They are made with pork and mixed herbs. Some people say herbs with an "h" some people say it without the "h". That confuses me. People are weird. Doug is weird too. Today the alley cat came right up to the door. I call the alley cat Suma becuase it lives close to Sumach St. Cats are weird. We have a western omelet on toasted ciabatta bun. Cindy from LA is here for a visit with her friend Gary. Hi Cindy and Gary!
Bye Blog!
Your friend,
Jamey
PS we have pancakes today
PPS they are banana

Today we have an Oktoberfest special: sausage on a bun with caramelized cabbage and coarse mustard.
Also we have the M.G. Western.
Omelette of the day is mushroom and swiss cheese.
Broccoli soup.
Banana muffins.
I am having my housewarming party tonight. Too bad I got sick two days ago. But I find that sometimes beer really helps to kick a bug. I think I will go have some of that Hobo Soup (see yesterday's blog).
I don't understand James' Tuesday joke about "I guess you don't have class on Sunday, hee hee" so also I will go and ask him about that.
Happy Thanksgiving. Don't forget that we are closed on Sunday and Monday.
Bye,
Kelly

Morning, folks.
I am not working today but lucky for you, I stopped by. Doug doesn't know how to blog. Don't worry, we'll teach him.
Specials today are: tomato, zucchini, fresh herb and goat cheese omelette; Mill St. hobo fennel soup; spiced pear muffins; and the M.G. Western. I think that the M.G. Western will be on our new regular menu. And I am still trying to think up suggestions for a new sandwich that will be named after me.
I have to go to class now.
Bye,
Kelly
Hey Kelly,
I suppose on Sundays, you have no class? Hee hee

The omelet today is pear and asiago cheese
The muffins are chocolate-chip
The soup is tomato and fresh basil (thanks Adam, for the basil)
It's Monday so we have a bacon, brie and caramelized onion sandwich for only $5.
Kristan is away in Saskatoon drinking export and dancing with farmers at a weddin' so Emmy is here helping us out for the next couple of days until Kristan gets back.
Last night some one taggged the side of our building here at the corner of King and Gilead. I don't mind graffiti so much, it has it's charms, but tagging is something else altogether. If I catch whom ever did that I will turn them over to the police, if I'm feeling charitable at that time. Otherwise I'll hurt them. Yes, that is a threat. A very public threat.
