An empty restaurant at four
Too late for lunch, too early for dinner. The best table is always free.
What came home in the paper bag
I went out for bread and came back with a cabbage. This happens every Thursday.
Vegetables I cannot name
The new shop by the school sells things I have never cooked. I buy one each week.

It cost too much. It makes good coffee. Both things are true every morning.
