NOT QUITE MONUMENTAL


If Eric's Monument Grille tried out for "American Idol," viewers would never see it.


This glittery ear candy is all under $20!Purple and gold is such a regal combo. Go punk princess with a leather jacket and ripped jeans.It is neither great enough to merit a golden ticket, nor bad enough to trot out for the judges to make fun of. Instead, it's just there with an eclectic, somewhat unremarkable menu of sandwiches, salads and breakfast dishes, making an honest effort without an endowment of obvious talent. In other words, it's forgettable.What's not to love? Cute charm and ribbon hoops put a girly touch on school-day outfits.The secret to wearin' huge hoops like Beyonce? Going necklace-free and keeping makeup natural.Skinny hearts are a sweet alternative to hoops. Wear 'em on V-Day ... and all spring.Despite my complaints, Eric's has been busy every time I visit. The Monument area, with its enviable median income, has always been a friendly place for locally owned restaurants. Perhaps Eric's will find its niche. First it will have to become a place that is known for more than just being forgettable.A GORGEOUS WEB
