Okay, so I’ve been out of town for a few days and I get back with 18 messages waiting for me. Boy, do I feel loved! We went to a friend’s house in Oxford, North Carolina (near Raleigh) the day after Christmas. Now, because we were going to be gone for a few days, we decided to postpone the annual Christmas dinner-baking extravaganza for tonight, the 30th. Instead, we pulled a Tim Allen and took the kids to Denny’s.
Yes.
Denny’s.
Did we learn nothing from The Santa Clause? I ask you! We ordered and waited…and waited…and (you get the picture.) Anyway, when the food came...(I must apologize to my vegetarian and vegan friends here. I am a carnivore and you may not like the following information)...When the food came, my plate had a steak, bread, and a baked potato. I asked if they would bring the rest of my meal: a salad and an order of fried shrimp. My husband was also missing his pancakes and the cheese in his omelette.
Time passed.
I decided to try my steak that was supposed to be medium-rare. I think it mooed at me. As soon as I cut into it, blood ran all over my plate, soaking the bread and potato. I told the waitress that I needed it cooked more. She took the entire plate.
Time passed.
I got my salad!
Time passed.
My steak was brought back cooked a tad more but they hadn't changed the plate and my lovely bread looked like a bloody sponge. My potato was about the same.
Still no shrimp.
I eat the steak even though it is still bleeding a bit and I pick at the parts of the potato that are not red.
Finally my shrimp arrives. I take a huge bite and...GAG! They aren't cooked in the inside! The slimy dough is not crisp through. By now, everyone else is finished. Even Dave has gotten his pancakes (but not his cheese) so I tell the waitress to take the raw shrimp off the tab. A whopping $3.50 is removed.
Important safety tip: Skip Denny's and eat toast or cold cereal.
Well, needless to say, tonight's dinner should be so much better.
BTW, my husband now has a blog because of my tag on him. So far, it is hilarious. Please go say hi!!! It is Stupid Human Tricks.
Oh! HAPPY NEW YEAR MY BLOGGING BUDDIES!!!

Happy New Year M.C. -
we avoid restuarants - my youngest still likes to throw things. And yes, I sorta have control of him but I think he's gonna be a lawyer - you know throw it out there even when you know you not supposed to but it gets out there anyway... make sense?!?!
Oh no, I usually like goin to Denny's...but you have scared me away!!! Yuck!
Btw, I def be checking out our hubby's blog! Can't wait to see his answers!
I told you we shouldn't have gone to Denny's!
