Luke's Diner, September 20 (Monday)

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

A week in, Lacey was pleased to note that the hydroponic wall planters were still there, and thriving; she spent possibly far too long fussing over the plants (and talking to them, yes, she took the idea of talking to plants more to heart in Fandom than she would anywhere else) and making sure they had enough water and nutrients before she so much as started cleaning up the diner in preparation to open for the day.

The salad bar area -- relocated near the wall planters -- had pride of place today, stacks of plates arranged tastefully next to silverware and brightly-colored dishes of tomatoes, beets, yellow peppers, other pretty vegetables, and all the dressings and toppings she could think of. Dangling from fishing line over the salad bar was a neatly hand-lettered sign that read "NEW SPECIAL" -- Pick-Your-Own-Salad Bar!

Look, just because Dog River had given her crap over improperly using quotation marks for emphasis, it didn't mean she was above trying it again in Fandom. It had been long enough. (About that definition of insanity, Lacey . . .)

The specials board was up as usual, though.
