High Class

Today started with be's inhaling of 3 hot dogs (St. Yves "The Good Dog") with dijon mustard and sauerkraut. I was forcing myself to drink a glass of water (those who know, know i don't like water) and eating some rice crackers with sesame seeds when O called us about lunch.

It was a good afternoon to try the "all you can eat soup, salad and breadsticks deal" at the Olive Garden. We ended up in Times Square so i'm positive we paid top dollar for our food, just like all those tourists clogging up the sidewalks. be ended up getting the deal, choosing minestrone soup (a vegetarian classic!) but he only ate a little salad and 2 breadsticks, so the $12.95 dinner price wasn't really worth it. O got a sausage/potato/kale soup, sausage & pepperoni personal pizza (they forgot to add his other 2 requested toppings) and the "frozen tiramisu" dessert drink, which was very tasty. I ended up with an angel hair pasta dish; the pasta was slightly overcooked and the sauce wasn't rave-worthy, totally not worth the $13.95. However, i ate up a good deal of salad and breadsticks so i left the place completely full. Next time, i'll go for the breadsticks and salad deal in VA where it's only $7.95. I really only like those damn breadsticks.

With our check, we received a handful of Andes Crème de Menthe Thins. For some reason, O, be and i ALL thought that Andes was "high class candy" when we were young. We each grew up in different places, so was there some marketing team, commercial or general consensus that Andes was high class? Just as expected, we trudged to a drugstore and bought 2 boxes of Andes. be also picked up a 12 oz. carton of Whoppers. Easter candy is out now; i love those mini Cadbury Creme Eggs*!

For a late dinner, be and i made: 2 bosc pears and 2 red delicious apples in a plum wine sauce, 1 pot of red lentil dal + some leftover rice and 1 baked kabocha squash.

We threw out: 1 bag of rotten dandelion, 1 moldy head of cauliflower, part of 1 lemon, part of the kabocha that was going bad and 1 container of moldy rice.

*Why did i not try the Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry at McDonald's in London? I'm a dumbass; now that's all i think about.
