"Set wide the window. Let me drink the day."
~Edith Wharton, Artemis to Actaeon and Other Verses
Other than the enormous floor lamp in the middle of the room (see yesterday's post), the interior of Earth Kitchen is simple and even quite spartan: raw cement floors and walls, and tables and chairs that are very utilitarian. The big window which looks out onto the street is beautifully screened by the bamboo and palm trees outside, however, making it look like a painting from inside. The real paintings which currently adorn the otherwise bare walls were created by students of Cabuynan Elementary School in Tanauan, Leyte who survived Typhoon Haiyan. They are for sale for PhP500 each and all of the proceeds will be used to rebuild their school.

Oh, my kind of place. All very nice.
It looks like a pleasant place.
I know where I would want to sit!
Sometimes less is more and simpler is more profound. I find this a delightful place!
