Pumpkin recipe booklet from the High Desert Museum. Or should that be High Dessert Museum? I’m going to give it a workout if my pumpkin patch works out. It’s not looking very promising at the moment.
Last week co-worker and I went to a lunch restaurant that we haven’t been to in a long time. They served a lamb burger that peeled your face off. They took the lamb burger off the menu and we stopped going there.
One of the food carts made a great lamb burger but then it closed.
We randomly checked the old restaurant last week and lamb burger was back on the menu. We phoned and asked specifically about the lamb burger and they said they were serving it.
Then we got there, ordered the burger and drinks and five minutes later the server returned to tell us there were no lamb burgers.
The server was very apologetic. I would say even too apologetic. We’re not the kind of people to fly into a rage about a dumb burger but she apologized a million times and blamed herself, she should have asked the chef, etc.
Meanwhile we ordered something else and got on with our lives. Except she forgot our drinks . The thing is *we* were embarrassed about bringing it up after the excessive burger apologies. We mentioned it to the busboy who then brought us the wrong drinks. And then she came over to tell us the drinks were on her because of the burger mistake and we clarified what we’d actually ordered and then she just brought one. And never came to our table again until it was time to pay.
It was like this minor thing that didn’t have to be a big deal turned into a weird awkwardville exercise. I don’t think we’ll be going back any time soon which means we still haven’t got our lamb burger fix.
Last night I went out with some friends and we had a waitress who abandoned us. I really thought we were going to have to ask someone else to get out check for us or else just never leave. I would just live the rest of my days in El Paso mexican restaurant.
What’s so convenient is, you can go almost anywhere and get bad service.
The only place you can get lamb around here is at Greek Fiesta, on a kabob. I’m sorry you’re having difficulty getting your lamb fix.
It’s like a Seinfeld episode. You should be a writer or something. Oh, wait.
