1/2 price, 1/2 hour Friday

You know the week has been long when the anticipation of the day becomes the moment you can go to the cafe and get your favorite dessert at half the price.

Most go for the cookies, the postman leaves with a box full of treats for his family. My favorite is a tart, filled with custard and topped ever so artfully with a variety of lightly glazed fruit.

Throughout the week I eye it, sometimes giving into it at full price, but between 4 & 4:30 on a Friday afternoon I savor the delicacy that at any other place would be at least five dollars - here only a dollar ten.

I would take a picture of it, but alas it is already gone.
