Tonight we had dinner at a little local cafe. We had to choose between a booth by the door or one across from the open kitchen area. We chose warmth. It was noisy and crazy, watching the servers hustling around. We could hear the chef as he gave the cooks our order, and it was a little strange being almost in the middle of it all. The food was good, but I'm not sure I needed to see the prep area while I ate. I did, however, enjoy the stacks of colorful plates in my favorite hues!
