Cortado ArtIs it a hooded disciple of the famed South Troy Yogini?
Or a perfect rose? And which would be more emblematic of the spirituality manifesting now in South Troy?

This South Troy Bistro is full of Spirit, or at least full of something, this week. You decide, we just present That Which Comes Forth. And take a look at what’s coming forth from our kitchen these days:

New Breakfast Special:

Breakfast of Kings
–Desayuno de Reyes

Gentle blend of flavors, tangy and sweet and sharp and spicy. Keeps you reigning all day, without raining on your parade!

Desayuno de ReyesDesayuno de Reyes
And this Desayuno (breakfast) is sure fit for a Rey (that’s king!
Two Eggs Over, topped with Pico (diced pickled peppers, but that’s another story for bedtime) on Veggie Hash, with sides of Croquettas and Fried Green Tomatoes.

Then jazz it up with a Cuban Coffee— a Cortado!

Yogini Discovered in South Troy Garden

but never Divine

Visitation to South Troy Bistro Causes Stir

Bistro Owner Carmen Gonzalez was cutting into a garden fresh sweet pepper Tuesday when she was stopped in her tracks. “I almost dropped the knife on my toe. I just couldn’t believe it!” said the restauranteur.

There, in the heart of the pepper, was a Yogini!

She noted that Albanians, living in the shadow of the State Capital or near the Governor’s Mansion, are used to visits from the Divine. South Trojans have not been so lucky— until now.

The Yogini, an emanation of the feminine aspect of the Divine, appears deep in meditation, bowed over in an attitude of worship. Or bent backwards, gazing in awe at the Heavens. It is said that divine Beings appear differently to everyone.

I picked up my spoon and stirred the picadillo for all I was worth,” said breathless Carmen. “When you are blessed, you cook while the griddle is hot!

Ms. Gonzalez later confessed she learned that saying from her mother.
