Hanging in the Canyon

Nothing better than a sunset hike with an adored friend followed by a delicious dinner, that we walked to, in the canyon.  For years, the neighborhood cafe was trapped in the 50s, and although the decor was cozy, the food, Salisbury steak and open faced roast beef sandwiches, needed an overhaul.  Through out the years, rumors persisted as to why the cafe stubbornly remained an uninspired  eatery.  I gave up on hoping for a change, and then it happened.  Several months ago, a new owner took over the space, updated the interior and modernized the menu with farm-to-table dishes.   I was delighted with my veggie burger, kale salad, and pinot noir.  Even better was my walk home, up a set of steep stairs, under the crescent moon.
