Folks were a little disappointed to show up at Edna’s this morning and not be greeted by a schedule of experimental specials. After a couple of weeks of fascinating and exotic dishes, customers had expected to be greeted with anything from marzipan entombed blueberries to squid ink flavored meatloaf.

“I like my biscuits and gravy, believe me,” said Mick Arden, “but, you know, it’s nice to get a bit of the weird every once in a while.”

This line resonated with several other diners, many of whom left notes with their tips reading “More Weird Now!”

Seemed an odd thing to hear in a town like this.

Edna was a little put out that folks would be so presumptuous, but gave a little sneering grin, uttering one terrifying word:

“… OK.”

There is now a sign on the front window drawn in white grease pencil that says “Tuesday Special: Shaved an’ Fried Omelette   $5”

The name seems a bit sinister,  but five dollars for a lunch plate is hard to beat.
