You didn’t know what kept you going back to Cordelia, nor what kept Cordelia from always agreeing to your dates. One meeting led to the next, and to the next, and before long, the leaves had turned from a lush green to a cozier brown, the wind had turned colder and harsher, the day shorter. 

It’d been some months since your orchestrated bump into Cordelia. You’d settled quickly into your role as her best friend and closest confidant, sometimes fitting a little too comfortably. She hadn’t mentioned anything about being a witch. You contemplated bringing it up, before dismissing the idea, deciding that it would be too obvious. 

Several people had recognized her, and you met both awed and disgusted responses. The both of you had nearly been chased out once, the grumpy owner of a record store you decided to wander into had sent death glares your way since you entered the shop till you left. Another time, a waiter had served your salad and off-handedly mentioned the free upsize. Both times, she didn’t explain herself, and you were left wondering if she didn’t want to tell you, or simply didn’t see the need to. 

Cordelia had invited you into the academy two week back. You’d agreed, of course, though the proposition made you both nervous and excited. You’d knocked on her door with lunch in hand on a surprisingly warm Thursday, and she’d invited you in with another one of her pleasant smiles. 

The walls were pristine white, the floors smooth parquet, the windows clear glass. If you thought that Cordelia’s magical aura was strong, simply walking down the entrance hall had made you feel lightheaded. It seemed to dig under your skin, pushing up into your lungs, drowning you, until you had to hide out in the bathroom for a moment to make sure that you weren’t being drugged. You wondered how you hadn’t picked it up when you’d dropped Cordelia at the place so many times. Perhaps the house sensed your disloyalty and sought to chase you out. 

The school was surprisingly devoid of students, despite being a weekday. Thoughts of an ambush crossed your mind many times, but you pushed the idea aside as quickly as it came. 

“Out,” Cordelia had shrugged and answered simply when you asked where the students were. You didn’t press further. 

After a quick lunch of Chinese takeout in the kitchen, she’d sought your help in the library.. “I managed to save these books from some of the other schools,” she explained as she dusted them off, handing one of them to you to check out as she catalogued the rest. The leather felt so old and brittle in your fingers you feared that it would simply crumble to dust if you gripped it any harder. The lettering on the cover was barely legible, whatever paint that had once made it stand out flaked. You didn’t understand it anyway, though a quick flip through had you guessing that it had something to do with herbology. Poisons, perhaps, based on the many stark red, albeit faded, underlines. 

“Do  you even understand this?” You asked, incredulous, as you passed the book back to her. 

Cordelia shook her head, chuckling lightly. “I don’t even know what language it is.”

“Why do you keep it then?”

“For records. And there’s probably a spell somewhere in here that can translate that.” She replied, almost absentmindedly as she wrapped the book up and slotted it in the middle of the stack. 

“Oh,” was all you said. It was the first time she’d brought up her magic. 

You didn’t see Cordelia until another month later, with her citing work commitments, something about making sure her girls had a home to return to for the holidays. Your hands were getting itchy. It’d been months, and the last message you got from your brother was a week ago, just asking for an update. You’d replied as you always did– your cover was still intact– Cordelia didn’t suspect a thing– it was too dangerous to corner her– and sent it back, encrypted.  

The rickety chair creaked beneath you as you leaned back on it, sticking your legs up on the table. Casually, you flipped through the calendar on your desk. You were getting increasingly bored, with nothing to do between your dates with Cordelia, and you were contemplating getting a part-time job just to kill time. You dismissed the idea almost immediately. The more people who knew about you, the higher the chances of your lie being uncovered, the higher the chances of this whole mission being blown wide open. 

So you were left stuck in your dinghy little apartment above a florist. It certainly didn’t help that even though you were only two streets away from Miss Robichaux’s, you didn’t even have eyes on the building. Vaguely, you wondered if your brother had done this on purpose. 

Slowly, you realized you’d been doing a lot of wondering lately. Just last night, you’d wondered if Cordelia had managed to translate that book about poisons. And when you woke this morning, you wondered how bustling the Academy was. And now, you wondered if Cordelia had eaten her lunch. 

As if on cue, your phone pinged and lit up with a notification. You nearly kicked the table over as you practically shot up from your chair. 

It was from Cordelia. Of course it was from Cordelia. Only she knew the number to this phone, other than your brother, but he would never risk sending anything through this number. 

Finally, after a month of nothingness, you had set up another meeting with her. Lunch at the new restaurant that’d opened at the park near the school. 

Once the date was set, you set your phone back down and picked your calendar back up. A star marked the date. As you set it back down, however, a number  caught your eye. Slightly over a month from now– a Saturday. You riffled through the mess on your table to find a red pen to mark the date. It was decided then, you told yourself as you leaned back in your chair. That would be the day. 

Two days later, you sat in a familiar old cafe with Cordelia, sipping on your drinks– an overly-sugared green tea for Cordelia, and double espresso for you. The queue to the new restaurant she had invited you to lunch to had been too long, and you both had agreed that you were far too hungry to wait. So it was to the same coffee shop it was. 

Cordelia was going off on a tangent about her work, hands working animatedly in her frustration. You’d lost track of the story about half a minute back, though you nodded along whenever it seemed appropriate. 

It certainly didn’t help that all you could think of was that little red star you’d marked a month from now. You could hardly look Cordelia in the eye. 

The both of you were just leaving the cafe when a commotion across the street caught your attention. A child was pacing up and down the street. There weren’t many people walking by at this time, but those who did gave the boy a wide berth. Cordelia slowed her walk when she noticed, taking a second to watch the scene before dashing across the road. 

Internally, you cursed at her as she jumped out of the way of an incoming bicycle. Why did she always had to be this nice? You followed on her tail, apologizing to the cyclist on her behalf. 

The boy had stopped his pacing now, and stood in the middle of the pavement, grubby hands rubbing at his eyes as his cries got louder and louder. 

Cordelia approached slowly, bending to his height as a soft smile graced her face. “Are you lost?” She asked gently, her voice pitched higher. 

The boy was bawling his lungs out now, and it took every ounce of self-control not to roll your eyes at him. A part of you was annoyed at this slight delay in your day just because your date had a heart of gold. The other part admired her for it. 

“What’s your name?” Cordelia continued.

“Ha–Harrison,” he mumbled between sobs.

“Harrison,” Cordelia repeated, “that’s a nice name. I’m going to bring you to the police and we can find your parents, okay?” She offered her hand to the boy, her friendly smile never wavering. 

Harrison took her hand and Cordelia’s smile widened. As she straightened up, she spotted your eye. 

“I’m sorry,” Cordeila grimaced, raising their clasped hands slightly, “do you want to head back first?”

You shook your head, rocking back and forth on your feet as you stood there almost awkwardly, “I’m good, I could help you.”

She shot you a grateful smile, mouthing a thank you before she began leading the way to the police station. Cordelia kept a light chatter with the boy along the way, while you trailed behind the two of them, hands stuffed into your pockets. 

The station was quiet as you walked in, the officer at the desk not even looking up at you entered. Only when Cordelia loomed over his desk did he spare a glance toward her. Vaguely, you wondered if he recognized her. But if he did, you couldn’t tell. 

You stood some distance back, letting her do the talking while you looked around. The officer’s desk sat at the back wall, presumably guarding a door and whatever rooms laid behind it. Rows of chairs filled the rest of the room, occasionally punctuated by racks of pamphlets about all kinds of safety. 

After some quick chatter, the officer gestured toward the closed door, and passed Cordelia a stack of paperwork. She glanced over her shoulder at you with a crooked smile before disappearing behind the doors. 

Five– ten– twenty minutes passed. You’d completed several more games of sudoku on your phone, read a pamphlet about vehicular safety, and finished a chapter of a new e-book you’d found online. The officer had picked up a call – something about a lost credit card – patiently explained that they had to call the bank, and hung up with an exasperated sigh. That was about two minutes back. 

Folding your arms over your chest and leaning your head back on the wall behind you, you huffed out another sigh. In your boredom, you must have fallen asleep, because the next thing you knew, someone was tapping you on the shoulder and calling your name. 

Instinctively, you jumped up, eyes darting around, surveying your unfamiliar surroundings before landing on Cordeila, who looked at you with wide eyes and an amused smirk. 

“You should head back first,” Cordelia suggested again when you apologized as the tension left your body. 

You shook your head with a smile. “It’s alright, I can wait.”

“Are you sure?” Cordelia asked, frowning, even as she gestured for Harrison to take a seat, “we might be here a while.” 

“I can wait,” you repeated, emphasizing that by sitting back down. 

For the next few minutes, the three of you sat quietly. You gnawed on your lower lip, fiddling with your thumbs, tapped your heel against your chair. You completed another game of sudoku on your phone before putting that away because Harrison had started staring at the device in your hands and you didn’t like that. 

“I’m going to see if they have water.” You stood up abruptly once you got too fidgety. 

You asked the officer at the desk if they had water, and he led you toward what you assumed was their pantry. Feet tapping rhythmically against the water dispenser in an attempt to dispel the tension in your body, you watched as the cups slowly filled with water. 

Carefully balancing the three cups in your hands, you made your way back to where Cordelia and Harrison sat. You paused, however, at the sound of boyish laughter and Cordelia’s chuckles. 

Cordelia had produced a flower in her hand, a beautiful white rose. Except, it wasn’t. You frowned and squinted at the sight, blinking several times to make sure you were looking right. Blue had started to bleed into the snowy petals, starting from the stem, pushing the white back, back, back, and Harrison watched on with wide-eyed wonder. 

Cordelia muttered something you couldn’t hear, and Harrison nodded excitedly. She returned her gaze to the rose, now the unnatural shade of bright blue. The petals fell one by one, fluttering slowly to the ground. 

Right in front of your eyes, the petals morphed. Light blue butterflies danced where the petals once were. They fluttered upward and around their heads. You blinked several times. There it was, magic. Right in front of your very eyes. The first thing that came to mind was beautiful. Then harmless. Utterly harmless. 

Your feet suddenly felt too heavy as you shuffled forward, clearing your throat to announce your return. Cordelia turned in your direction, a smile spreading across her face at the sight of you. 

“Thank you,” she said as she took two cups from you and passed one to Harrison. 

You clenched your jaw to keep from smiling as you sat down next to her. 

“You’ve got a petal in your hair,” Cordelia chuckled. 

“I do?” You reached to brush it off but she was faster. Your breath was drawn out of you as Cordelia leaned in. She was so close you could smell the sweet scent of her perfume. But the fog in your brain was making it hard to place what she was wearing. You only knew that it smelt distinctly Cordelia, even though you didn’t know what that entailed. 

There was a lopsided smile plastered on her face as she leaned back, holding the petal, now turned back to the same glittering stark white as before, not a trace of blue to be found. 

Witch, a nasty voice snarled in your head. Aim for the spot between the eyes, your father had told you on your first hunt, it kills them instantly. 

You looked at Cordelia. She had the most beautiful eyes. And it wasn’t because of the deep brown of her irises. No, it was something else. You gulped. You were twelve when you took your first life. That witch had brown eyes too. The same shade. You wondered if you had seen her smile, whether she would have the same twinkle in her eye as Cordelia did now. 

You forced a chuckle from your throat, taking the petal gently between your fingers. 

There shouldn’t have been anything to be astonished at. You’d seen a witch spew fire from her fingertips – you had the scars to show for it. Magic had been prevalent in your life as a hunter, you’d learned how to avoid it, to counter it, to suppress it. Still, the magic emanating from the petal in your head was unlike any that you’d encountered before.

It was clean, it was fresh, and it was good. 

“How’d you do that?” You asked breathlessly, surprising even yourself with how awed you sounded. 

Cordelia shrugged, her lips pulled into a knowing smile. “Magic.”

Day 13 - What’s Inside My Fridge

I had just tossed my keys on the counter when my phone rang. Luckily it was my brother and not a client. “Hey, Justin. How’s you?” I sank onto the couch as I listened to him tell me about his day. “So, since the girls are having a girl’s night, you thought we should hang, huh?” I couldn’t help teasing him. “Of course you can come over. We’ll have to order out since I haven’t been to the store. No clue what’s in my fridge. See you soon!”

Ending the call, I groaned softly as I hauled my butt off the couch. I had just enough time to straighten up before Justin invaded my space. I grabbed my messenger bag and shuffled off to my room depositing it and my shoes on the floor near the closet. Then I quickly changed into jeans and a t-shirt after gleefully ditching my dress shirt and tie. So much better.

Now to straighten up the living room a bit. Stacking magazines, tossing trash and old take out containers. Then I headed to the kitchen to see if there was anything in the fridge. Hmmm…a mostly brown banana, 2 Abitas, some outdated milk. Phew that stinks. Hurriedly pouring it down the sink and tossing the carton. What else? Leftover Chinese. Some water bottles. A few salad dressings that were less than half full. A jug of sweet tea. This fridge really was pathetic. A questionable cheese and fruit plate that must have been left after an open house. And a couple rolls of cookie dough for future open houses. Oh, and a bottle of wine in the back from who knows what. I wasn’t about to check the freezer. Thankfully the fridge had an in-door ice dispenser.

I had just had time to take the garbage out and wash my hands before there was a familiar musical knock at my door. “Coming!” I called out. Thank goodness for my amazing brother who stood there grinning with pizza and beer. “You are my favorite !” I laughed as I stepped back to let him in. “Try your only!” he countered as he took the food to the kitchen so our “bros only” night could begin.

Moving home, and my friends' almost-successful attempt at making me stay

A box and three suitcases half-full of my belongings sit around, scattered in my apartment. The rest are still in the drawers of my dresser, on my desk, and in the laundry basket. The packed clothes are barely folded, and the books in the box are stacked like a bad game of Tetris. My cat, Shrimp, hates going into his carrier, despite the amount of treats I leave, the shiny toys that wait around, and how many droplets of catnip spray linger in there. My beloved subletter of three months made me pay for the first week of December, so I kept the heating up to the max in my room, even if I was out of the apartment for extended periods of time. I fly back home tomorrow.

Every time I fly back to Quebec from my hometown, Vancouver, it only ever really takes between less than a day or two to adjust back to the brittled concrete, the charming garbage day air, and the Bixis in my blind spots. September of this year was different. After a long West Coast summer of six weeks, I felt a leftwards tug that I tried to ignore. It lingered weeks after I landed and settled into my new apartment. I tried to journal, walk, exercise, and meditate the yearning away, but in turn these activities lead me to a plane ticket home—so here we are.

The other night, my friends threw a pyjama-karaoke-themed farewell party for me. I took care of the invites, and they took care of the rest. I knew I wanted to see all my friends before I left, and I could have easily planned something for myself. But between work, packing, and attempting to force Shrimp to get used to being lugged around in a container with wheels, I needed help–and as a Leo with crippling pride, it was nice to not have to admit it in the moment when they offered to plan it for me, and I am so grateful to them.

Around my friend Alex’s apartment, there were photos of me dispersed around her walls. In no particular order: there was one from when I went apple picking with my boyfriend, Will; Will and I posing next to the Barbie movie poster after seeing it in theatres when it came out this July; another of me behind the counter from when I was working as a barista at the hip Italian joint in Griffintown; me and my roommate’s cat, Pesto, who is shaped like an upside-down light bulb; a few of me in my friend Adela’s backyard—one of me, Maxine, and Alex celebrating her M&M-themed birthday as brown M&Ms, one during her Lunar New Year hot pot, and one of me reading; one of me drinking coffee in her kitchen; me, Derelyn and Alex at this year’s pie-themed Thanksgiving; Jiestine and me eating the menu’s special (fried pork, egg, veggies, and rice) at our favourite Chinese restaurant; me on Valentine’s day (my favourite holiday) offering flowers and Cheetos to Alex, Jiestine and Adela; me sitting next to the garbage can with my arms shaped like a “V” for victory, with a smile of relief after successfully moving all my things in a storage unit.

Between these walls, we gathered around the table of candy salad bowls, Cheetos, shrimp crackers, bread, cheese, and seltzers to talk about the highs and lows of our respective seasons. I introduced new friends to old ones. We shared our Spotify Wrapped playlists, and we danced and sang the night away. Towards the end of the night it felt more and more like a campaign to get me to stay, especially when Adela sang “Take Me Home, Country Roads” while my friends surprised me with a cake decorated with gingerbread cookies and a figurine of a little boy with a mushroom bowl-cut. It almost worked.

I have my doubts about moving back, and my friends are the biggest reasons why I stuck around on this island. I can only do what feels right to me, but only time will unravel and reveal as to whether or not this homecoming is what’s best. As a victim of the late adolescent/early adulthood Vancouver to Montreal pipeline and meme to “fill the void”, I am grateful that I fell into the trap. At my goodbye party, the friendships, the music, the food, the soul put into the planning of my send-off, and the memories on the walls of Alex’s apartment stitched the gap so perfectly. I’ll hold this city so tightly to my chest, and I’ll keep it in the inside pocket of my down coat, because of who I found here.

À bientôt, mes ami.e.s. <3

Food review: North America, volume one, part three

May 17th, 2010

3rd – 4th May, Seattle, Washington

Seattle is our home in the USA; we’ve spent so much time here that we know the city pretty well.  Having a day off meant that we could hit up our favourite haunts.

First off for me was a visit to Top Pot doughnuts.  When we were recording Romance is Boring we stayed in a hotel right next door to Top Pot.  We were therefore in there everyday buying coffee and doughnuts.  We grew to know some of the staff in there, and visit the next day (4th may) we bumped into them.  I would like to thank Brendan Kennedy and everyone at Top Pot for the free coffee and doughnuts, and for being so nice to us, we hope they enjoyed the show.

Now about their doughnuts.  All I can say, is that they are the best doughnuts I’ve ever had.  There are so many flavours and types.  My favourite is the cinnamon sugar ring.  The dough is so light, you feel like you could eat stacks of them.  The feather bower cake is also very good.  Another favourite amongst LC! is the Apple Fritter, which is so big it can keep someone going all day.  The doughnuts are all cooked fresh on the premises and the smell is intoxicating.  Coming back late at night from the studio you would be able to smell them cooking and it would make you really excited for the following morning.  Plus, their coffee is very good as well, making a perfect combination.  If they had a shop in Cardiff, I would grow really fat.

No visit to Seattle is complete without a trip to Bamboo Gardens.  We’ve spoken about this place before and it still is very good.  We went for the tried and tested.  We tried a hotter Mongolian Beef; the sauce wasn’t hotter, it just had hotter chillies in it.  I ate one of these and instantly regretted it; it was very hot and destroyed my sense of taste for the rest of the meal.  Nonetheless, an excellent meal.

For dinner on show night we went to Guaymas Cantina.  A Washington based Mexican chain.  I had a wet steak burrito.  Once again, it was no different from any other burrito I had had.  No one tries to do anything different, but to be honest I quite like that.  It’s cheap and very filling, and always very tasty.  You can’t really complain.

5th May, Portland, Oregon

First stop was Stumptown Coffee.  Unlike when we stayed in the Ace Hotel, which had a Stumptown in the lobby, to reach the nearest one this time required a 10 minute walk.  Top coffee and pastries.

Dinner tonight was at a place called Chop Sticks.  It served Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese dishes.  I had a Pad Thai, and it was probably one of the best Pad Thais I’d had.  The noodles were nice and thin, and still had a bit of bite to them.  The chicken was good breast meat, with a lot of flavour.  There was plenty of crushed peanuts in it, meaning that your mouth didn’t feel like it just had a mouthful of goo when you ate it.  It could have been slightly spicier, but the level was enough that it tickled my senses ever so slightly.

6th May, Walla Walla, Washington

Tonights meal was provided by the venue.  It comprised Tofu with vegetables, a marinara sauce, green beans and salad.

I’m not a big fan of Tofu, I would never order it out of choice.  I always find it bland and it doesn’t have any texture.  You might as well be eating polyfilla.  This had been griddled so it had a good colour to it.  Whats more, it had some texture to it!  You could actually feel your teeth slice through it as you chewed.  The vegetables had also been cooked in the same way and then layered on the top making it look very presentable and giving it a lot more colour.  Having a forkful of tofu and vegetables meant that you had a constant change of texture as you chewed.  A nice experience.  The marinara sauce was good, I’m never entirely sure what is supposed to be in a marinara sauce, is it just a thick sauce of tomatoes?  Or is it supposed to have herbs in it?  Of which, I couldn’t taste any.  The meal made up for the disappointment as we watched the election results come in.

7th May, San Francisco, California

Tonights dinner choice was suggested by the Regency Ballroom stage manager.  He said he would go there 7 out of 10 days.  He pointed us to a restaurant called Modern Thai.  The menu had all your bulk standard Thai dishes, and there were a few that had twists to them, but nothing really different.

I went for a Green Curry, as after Chopsticks in Portland, I was wanting a Green Curry.  The chicken in it was slightly dry and had a bit of flavour.  It’s a shame that restaurants can never really cook like you can at home.  A home cooked curry will have had the chicken cooking in the sauce allowing the flavours to infuse the chicken.  In a restaurant it’s probably cooked separately so whatever meat has been ordered by the customer can be chucked in at the last moment.  It had a lot of vegetables in it including aubergine and peppers.  The sauce was light and you could taste the coconut in it, it could have done with being spicier, perhaps I should ask for dishes to be more spicier on ordering.  The rice was presented in a nice heart shape.

A good meal but I’m not sure if it can label itself as Modern.

Part four, the last part, will be appearing later on in the week.

Moving deeper into the “Casino Regis.”

***

Past the table games, past the circuitous gateway to the high-roller mezz, past the newer slots, usually placed in prominent positions, to draw the eye and the ears (you can’t close your ears), and when I say the new ones I’m talking about the glitzy ones, see, the ones with the giant 4K screens, the encircling color wheels that bring you into them, a kid in a cyclotron, a particle in a ferris wheel, making you part of the action, and don’t forget the ones with the licensable characters and celebrity likenesses, those do a good number on the daily, with voices that call out, scream, beg, flirt unknowingly, promise, and cajole — there’s one with Delicious the Alligator, from the 1970s cartoon, a favorite among Gen X, and there’s one with Samantha Boncare, a dreamy-lidded long-dead starlet from the black and white era, reanimated thanks to the miracles of language models and stock photography, watching you with an electric eye, constantly winking, and last, at the tail-end, a giant, ever-shifting dragon, female, again, and flirtatious, again, oddly — you arrive on the perimeter of the casino floor.

His voice, floating over your shoulder, sounding like a chummy backslap: “I hope you brought your appetite.”

Before you, suddenly, inevitably, opens up a pathway to flavor: Cafe R — the R stands for Regis. “The R stands for Ridiculously Good Food,” he interrupts, and he’s not wrong, but the neon says “REGIS” so you understand both to be true. You pass a Romanesque statue that does double-duty as a water feature — you hesitate to call it a fountain in the formal sense — and begin the food experience.

Cafe R is a buffet, with limited table service, mostly as an organizational imperative than a leisure. A plate is pushed, excitedly, into your hands by a passing waitress, flirting without breaking stride.

“When I was growing up in the Bronx, there were a few house rules at meal time. One, chew with your mouth closed. Jesus Mary and Joseph, the ruckus if you chewed with your mouth open, don’t get me started. Now, two, and this one is important: never pair riesling with quail. And three, you always start with soup.”

AND SO the first table is stacked with cauldrons, each bubbling, with soups you recognize by name but don’t recognize by smell, tickling you, beguiling whiffs, memories of previous soups, in simpler times, in smaller cities. You move toward it and past it, counterclockwise around the outside of the cafe.

“For our international patrons, or anyone that likes the tastes of the East, we’ve got wonton, egg drop, and more,” Regis suggests, helpfully. “There are Asian flavors throughout.”

Then the next table: the fish. Salmon, cod, catfish, flounder, carp, some still alive, some only recently departed, chopped into pieces, or fried, or baked, sushi (for the tastes of the East). “I’ve never been a fish guy — even at Notre Dame — but heck, this cafe is for everyone, and fish is cheap. Glory, it’s a cheap, cheap animal. Ever been to the ocean? Fish love the ocean.”

Again, he has a point. But onward to the mains (a demure filet that Regis advises against and so you skip), the removes (you had enough mint in your mouthwash this morning and so skip the lamb) the roasts (you take a little slice of squab then immediately drop your plate; a replacement is pushed into your hands saucily by a rapidly passing waitress), the salad (you scoop crunch kale to bed your new dish), the colds (Regis tells a story about the first time he tried fois gras, and how Kathy Lee started to cry when the waiter explained what it was), and finally, the “Chaos Course.” You espy a lovely looking carbohydrate, and snag it. “That’s a favorite of mine,” Regis pipes up, “because I invented myself. My three favorite things, mixed into one hearty bite, like a sandwich, but don’t call it a sandwich. Presenting: the Chinese bologna loaf.” It is very much what it appears to be.

The last table is a giant pit of mixed nuts. You scoop out a handful and put them in your pocket, for later. And as you step back, you feel like you’ve overlooked something. You glance at your plate: the Chinese bologna loaf sits expectantly.

“I know what you’re saying. I know what you’re saying. Regis, is there anything — anything at all — that could really put some oomph in my eats?” He chuckles. “Well, we’re two steps ahead of you. It’s been there all along. Take a look to your left. Toward where you came in.”

There, at the front, under the neon, is the gleaming — I know, I know, everything in this place gleams, but wow, it is REALLY gleaming — white Roman non-fountain from earlier. Yes, at the front, the entrance, the beginning of it all. You walk over to the fountain, almost afraid — you have strong opinions about moving water. And then (but then?) trumpets, actual trumpets, not from a sound-chip or a directional audio beam, but a waiter, multitalented, flirtatiously trumpets. And with the cue, the heavens open up, the structural cistern gurgles with life. And the water changes. Before you, now, in this world (America) and this life (2023, Regis Weekend, which by the way is extended through Thursday, August 31) you witness a miracle, the water turns to a geyser of cheese.

You are frozen. Who wouldn’t be? What eyes are prepared for this, in a casino, regardless of quality and rating? But like the horn started the change, his voice, clarion, prompts you to action. “Dip your Chinese bologna loaf in the pallid cheddar font for a fun mouth experience,” urges Regis, and you oblige him, and he’s right, he’s right he’s always right. It was what the Chinese bologna loaf was missing — a lacquering of cheezy flavor.

Giggling with satisfaction, you take things a step further. You stick your face in the font. You are born flavor, rivulets of cheese enter your ears and nose and mouth. Lifting your head up, you breathe air that smells like money. The glory (everlasting) and the promise (big prizes at the table games) and the now (Cafe R and the R stands for Cheese) converge on this function: the night still to come.

“Looking cheesy, baby!” says Regis with delight, doing his best sultry Samantha Boncare impersonation, your ear bones vibrating through the melted dairy, which arguably is a better conductor of his voice than unfilled space ever was. “Now, if you’re like me, your belly is full. But what good is a full belly if you’ve got an empty heart?”

Great question. “I promised you both dinner and show. So. Folks: it’s showtime. Onward to the theater.”
