Breakfast, lunch, dinner

One sign whose message we always appreciate is “Breakfast served all day.” One that we might enjoy even more would be “Pie served with breakfast,” but we’ve never seen that one.
     In truth, both policies were in effect on a recent visit to Albert’s on a run home to Dallas from Colorado. Yes, the employees were setting up a lunch buffet with turkey and dressing as the main course, but breakfast was on the mind on this visit. A full plate of scrambled eggs, ham, hash browns plus biscuits and gravy really hit the spot (and, yes, made it bigger).
     A brick-size slice of cherry pie at the end of that fine meal wrapped things up like a beautiful aria at the end of an opera. And we’d never seen a slice of cherry pie like this: a fat layer of cream atop a thin fruit stratum with whole cherries in it, and whipped cream lathered on top. The taste combination was light and summery.
     Our fellow diners were discussing the high school football team and their kids’ schools. Farmers, families and bikers, some local, some doing the long haul to or from the Rockies, made for a comfortable dining room. Stop in for breakfast sometime.
