A lunch-inspired love email

Lesson Learned: Showing your coworker a new lunch spot goes a long way. Observe the following email I received after doing such a thing.

Subject: Dear, oh darling, dear

Dearest Anna,

I cannot express the amount of gratitude I owe to you on this day, the day you lead my virgin hand deep in to the skyway. The twists and turns to Eddington's were new and could have served a frightful purpose - Minnesotans and small chain restaurants hovering at every turn, waiting to surprise and misguide me. On another day (a day without You) I would have easily fallen to the tricks and ploys of D’Amico, or even a sub sandwich place. But you, (yes You!) dear Anna, (oh Anna!) was there to show me how.

Eddington's has brought such proper spoils, and it is to You I owe my early lunchtime happiness. The chicken tortilla soup, although I know, dearest, is not your soup of choice (the choices overwhelming and abundant!), provides the delicate zest of a chipotle burrito, and the hearty composure of a thick, warm blanket in the bitterest of Minnesota winters.

And that’s a damn load of breadsticks. Oi. I’m too stuffed already.
