I clearly remember the circumstances that prompted my very first blog post. It was the worst dining out experience hubs, LO and I have had to date, and for those of you who know us personally, that is saying a LOT! Take a gander at that post and relive the wonderful memories.
On a semi-related note, I was just asked what must absolutely be the dumbest question I've ever heard in my life. I was ordering some take-out from a local Mexican restaurant, Anita's, and this is how it went down:
Me: "Yes, I'd like to place an order for take-out, please?"I finished the rest of my order, and was told it would be 15-20 minutes. No problem.
Them: "Okay. What would you like?"
Me: "I'd like one chicken soft taco."
Them: "One chicken soft taco. Okay..."
Me: "One beef soft taco."
Them: "Beef as in cow??"
Me: (dumbfounded) "Excuse me?!"
Them: "Beef as in cow??"
Me: (still very perplexed) "Um, yes...?"
Them: "Okay. One beef soft taco."
I hung up the phone and told hubs he would NOT believe the question I was just asked. He was just as speechless as I was.
Seriously, is there such a thing as beef as in something other than cow??
Hmm. Well, in the Middle East that may include many things other than cow. I've eaten a few. Such a shame re: Anita's. Used to be one of our favorite restaurants. The Friday Manager's Special often included a tequila lime tuna that was awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi! I just stumbled across your blog and love it! I'm reading the taco order blog and I just learned this over the weekend as I was asked the same question. I guess it's either cow or bison?! Anyhoo, love the blog!
