In which I went out to eat.
I went to my CCNA class today. It’s been on Tuesdays at 1:30 for two terms now, but today there was an Intro to ColdFusion class in the room (do people still use ColdFusion?) and my instructor wasn’t in his office.
So naturally I went to eat instead.
I ordered cheese enchiladas with rice and beans (even though I no longer eat the rice), but when the meal arrived there was shredded chicken meat in those enchiladas, so I politely sent it back.
The cook just pulled the enchiladas off and replaced them, so five bites into my new meal I got a mouthful of the chicken that was more or less all over the plate. (I haven’t had chicken meat in my mouth in twenty-odd years. I really don’t like it.)
So I ate one enchilada – carefully checking each bite for stray chicken – and some of the beans, and then lost my interest in the meal altogether. It was too chicken-y and I guess I wasn’t that hungry after all. The waitress picked up the plate, and probably noticed the pile of chicken I’d assembled.
When she brought me my check, though, she also brought me a complimentary dessert. Which I also didn’t want to eat, because it was nothing but refined carbohydrates and I’m not eating refined carbohydrates these days. (I ate a portion of it anyway, because it had been an apology and I didn’t want to be a bitch.) (I also left her a 49% tip, because it wasn’t her fault.)
Most complicated meal EVAR. No meat, no refined carbs. If I keep accumulating trendy eating disorders, I’ll never be able to eat in a restaurant again.

Vegan is the next step baby. Vegan. *shudder* *runs off to get another Somoa*
I could never go vegan. Virtually all of them look unhealthy, and I love dairy fat and eggs too much. I’m vegetarian primarily because I don’t like meat. (Well, actually, I’m pescatarian, but not a terribly committed one.) -m
Adam looks healthy. I’ve seen him in real life. 🙂 To be honest it’s more the work than the concept. No wait, it’s the concept, but the work on top of that is just too much commitment for me.
Yay Adam! Some people can do it (he seems to eat pretty well), but many of them live on Rice Dream and Frookies. -m 🙂
Actually I’ve been getting fat lately. Too much junk food! Starting yesterday, I’m on a 1200ish calorie a day diet until I get rid of all this ub blub blub blech.
Skinny season’s coming up! -m
Please, Mush, the next time that happens, just send it back and tell the waitress why and that you aren’t going to pay for it. That’s the only way that asshole is going to learn he can’t just pick meat out of what was suppose to be a vegetarian meal and hand it back to you.
Then leave. There are always plenty of places that will be happy to treat you with respect and take your money.

I’d never had a problem there before. Bad day, I’m guessing. -m
