One corner has everything I need to make me happy. Just a couple of miles down the street, in the next city, there's a Fresh & Easy, the brand-spankin' new Porto's kitty corner from the Fresh & Easy, and just behind the Porto's, the movie theatre. Everything I need. OK, if they added a bookstore, then it would have everything I needed, but I'll take what they have.
The line to Porto's is crazy long. Depending on what time you go, you first have to wait in the line that starts at the door and wraps around. Once inside, you go to either the bakery line or the cafe line. The cafe line is supposed to be the express line and the Porto's worker at the door will come out and ask if anyone is getting just drinks and sandwiches and/or under 6 bakery items and they'll let you ahead of the people in the outside line.
I went to Porto's twice today. I met Tiny at there at 11am for lunch and there was no outside line. After lunch, we went to the movies and saw "For Colored Girls." I will never see Michael Ealy in the same way again. :( Yes, I cried. I cried a lot.
After the movie, Tiny caught the bus back home because she had to go babysit, and I went back to Porto's and this time, there was an outside line. It was so funny, though, because a couple in front of me tried to sneak into the bakery line inside and they got caught. The husband tried to argue, but you could tell the wife got embarrassed and walked back out to the outside line. We were standing outside laughing.
All in all, the second time I went today, it took about 50 minutes to wait in line and get all the goodies I got. I bought enough for my sister and mom to try their popular dishes. Except my mom can't have the cheese rolls because she's lactose intolerant.
Man, Porto's is yummy in my tummy. My mom enjoyed it too. My sister hasn't said anything, but I'm sure she enjoyed them too. She's been giving me crap all week about Porto's and the long-ass line.
And now that they've extended their hours, I can actually make it during the week and not wait until the weekend.
So, for now, my life is complete. :-D
