Even though our wires were crossed around which Scratch Kitchen to visit—my friend Jodie thought I wanted to go to the other Scratch in Paseo which, incidentally, just closed— after fifteen minutes of back-tracking and time-traveling, we finally met at the right one – Scratch Kitchen, 132 W. Main in Norman. Crisis averted!
After our salutations and pleasantries were equally exchanged and forgotten, Jodie told me her life-changing life news that shook me to the very core: she is getting a divorce.
As I spit-taked (spit-took?) the brash coffee from local roasters Yellow Dog, she explained the whole situation to me and, the more I heard her about it, I very much sympathized with her and was impressed she took charge of her life and is trying to better it.
Seriously, I applaud her for making such a strenuous change!
But, to be fair though, during her story, I was looking over the menu as I got another cup of black coffee. As the caffeine began flowing more and more, and after much debate, our orders were taken by the young server.
