Button Up Cafe

For breakfast today we went to the Button Up Cafe, its a place that Curtis had only been to once before; it wasn't in their Top 20, just OK. We were the only ones sitting down to eat; but 4 or 5 people had called in & ordered a take-out breakfast. Curtis had the Portuguese Sausage & SPAM Omelet, I had the Korean Braised Short Rib Eggs Benedict; they were better than Curtis remembered them. The breakfasts were a little on the pricey side but once they came, it was apparent that the cost matched the amounts served. I took half of mine home for breakfast tomorrow.

They also have a paper laminated menu.

Photos of some of the menu items are on the wall.

I like it when the "Water" is clearly labelled.

Portuguese Sausage & SPAM Omelet with Tater Tots. We took the Tater Tots home for Dad.

Shiro went to the Cat Clinic today for his biannual senior check-up. Other than being 2 pounds lighter than his previous check-up 4 months ago and having very dirty ears, he was looking good. The loss of weight could be due to an overactive thyroid, just like Momo had. Dr. Dean is doing a senior cat blood panel to check out what might have caused his weight loss; we'll get the results tomorrow.

L to R: Mariko, Shiro, & Dr. Dean.

Jody called this evening. She and her friends arrived in Kona last night. I will be staying with them at the Kona Coast Resort condo tomorrow night. Then we'll do a tour of the north end on Thursday. And hopefully on Friday Dad will follow through & go to the Big Island.

Happy Belated Birthday to David, Olga, & Nashla!
