The new cafe at work.


Today I had:

**Cauliflower Salad with Nicoise Olives and Crispy Croutons
cauliflower, red onions, red wine vinegar, nicoise olives, olive oil, parsley, bread crumb 


**Lemon, Leek, Parsnip and Pistachio Risotto
arborio, lemon, garlic, onions, vegetable stock, herbs, spices, olive oil, parsnips, leeks




**Spanish Chick Pea Soup
spanish smoked paprika, piquillo peppers, garbanzo beans, garlic, onion, coriander seed, vegetable stock, herbs, spices, tomato

And a side of brussel sprouts and broccoli for a little more ruffage.

All for the low, low price of free.

One of the teams responsible for opening a cafe in Mountain View that just knocked everyone's socks off has come up here. I have been eating like even more of a king than I usually do.

Oh, and they have a heat lamp for the cookies. Why, you ask? So they'll always be warm when you put them on your plate to eat them. It's the little things.
