Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Nancy, What an interesting story (how you met your husband)! It made me smile! I agree with your sentiments, too. (It should be one's business--and privately so--the " why " a person asks for certain foods and doesn't (shouldn't) need to explain the reason for the choices! I do remember a very folksy restaurant I ate in last year over in Springfield, Illinois. It wasn't a fancy place--the kind of place where the women and men both arrive in comfortable clothing and order mostly " burgers, meat and taters " kinds of meals. I saw a nice salad on the menu, but EVERYTHING came with some kind of meat (or chicken) on or in it. I remember asking the waitress if I could have the salad without the chicken, and then, as an after thought, I asked also if they could maybe add some extra shaved cheese on top. It was the WAITRESS who suggested that she might be able to arrange to have also some extra mushrooms on the salad (which I LOVE). The beautiful (with romaine lettuce!) salad soon appeared and had not only the nice shaved parmesan on top, but nice, tasty chunky slices of portabella mushrooms in the place of the usual chicken. I could not have been more pleased! The large salad with all the nice " fixins " was most satisfying and I have to say, yes, there are times when it actually does " work out " very nicely to " just ask " when one orders food in a restaurant. It's late...what on earth am I doing still on the computer!?? Good night, everyone! --Laura B., in Illinois. PS: Sorry about the obvious typos in that other post I wrote! I must have been in a daze when I did it! ******************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
