Today’s OGT was brought to me by a good friend and lunch at The Arsenal. Nothing fancy, but solid, stick-to-your-ribs food.
I suspect that one reason The Arsenal has been around for more than half a century is the careful placement of homemade desserts by the cash register. Deciding that the occasion of lunch with my professional chef friend warranted dessert, I asked the young man behind the register for a recommendation. He gave me a very serious look then briskly tapped the clamshell containing a generous hunk of red velvet cake with thick frosting. “Mama just baked it this morning,” he explained.
When you hear that, Divas, buy the cake!
We did and lo, it was Very Good.
And lunch inspired this version of the “Blue Plate Special” for today’s painting!
