Pizza Rock, pt. 2

Samantha (or Osmanthus, as Ben and I like to call her behind her back) came to visit today!  Poor Erin had too much homework, so she couldn't come brunch with us.  But you know what they say... 2 out of 3 ain't bad.  We went to Pizza Rock again.

I convinced Samantha to order the Bacon Bloody Mary.  Turns out she isn't as much of a bloody mary person as I am, but it worked out, because then I drank the rest of her bloody mary, in addition to my bottomless mimosa, which ended up being the equivalent of 7 mimosas.  7 mimosas sounds excessive, but I was trying really hard to get a mango mimosa, but our waitress brought me orange mimosas when I asked for mango.  What a crime.

Pizza Rock needs a new live band for their "acoustic brunch."  Both times, the same John Mayer wannabe (why would anyone want to be John Mayer?) covered the only bad Otis Redding song, Sitting On the Dock of the Bay.  We tried the Mexicana pizza and the breakfast potato skins.  Here's a picture of the potato skins and my 3rd mimosa.

This is a strawberry mimosa pictured.  I actually don't even like strawberry, but I was trying to give the waitress a clean slate/quiz her on her knowledge of fruit.  As a plant scientist, I may ask too much of others when it comes to fruit identification, but I'm guessing Pizza Rock has some kind of labeling system.

After brunch, Osmanthus and Ben and I went back to my apartment and made bean/cheese/corn salsa empanadas.  Then Samantha and I watched A LOT of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.  To clarify, it was a lot of Law & Order for me, but not for Samantha (evidence).  That show is really good; here's a summary of the show in picture form:
