(High) Fives All Around




Oops, no outside cakes in Maine restaurants.  This was a nice alternative.

  Andy comin’ at ya, belatedly.  A few weeks back, Jaime and I drove *wince* up to Portland for a birthday brunch with my mom at a fantastic restaurant called five fifty-five.  (Wow, strong showing by the moms lately on Choo-Chew!)  Portland is a perfect meeting spot between Salem and where I grew up in Maine, and it’s also a place we all love to visit for day trips and long weekends.  (Although we skipped the train and drove this time, we did do some reconnaissance on the Amtrak Downeaster.  See the last paragraph.)
