Rebecca, Ethan, and I went out to the Greek Festival in Raleigh,On Saturday, September 19. There was live Greek music, people dressed in Greek clothing doing Traditional Greek Dancing, and lots of Greek food. I(Scott) had the Greek meal, mousaka, which is a layered eggplant dish. Rebecca had lamb kabobs, I think... We also shared baklava for our dessert. The music was pretty loud, so we didn't stay very long with Ethan.

Mr. Ethan looks like he is wondering what the loud noise was.
Rebecca, Ethan, and I went to Michael's(the craft store) and bought a frame for one of the family portraits and then we walked down to Barnes & Noble. This was on Monday, September 21.
While we were at Barnes & Noble, we put Diana Gabaldon's new book, An Echo in the Bone, on hold for Rebecca. Rebecca and I then each ordered a Pumpkin Spiced Latte.
This was the first of two strange events while ordering food during the last two weeks. We asked for the seasonal Pumpkin Spiced Latte, expecting it hot, not cold or frozen, and somehow the drinks were prepared blended and iced...we just looked at each and laughed about it, not saying anything to the guy that fixed them for us and we enjoyed them cold.
Later in the week, I went to pick up the book we had reserved for Rebecca and while I was out, I stopped by Panera Bread to pick us up supper. We both got a "You Pick Two" meal, with half a sandwich and a half order of soup. I ordered their black bean soup only to get home and end up having potato soup instead...again, I enjoyed the potato soup, and didn't call to complain or anything. I just find it odd how it happened twice in one week of ordering food items, that the orders ended up slightly different somehow.
So, the questions are...should I have said something, but just taken what I had, or said something and made them fix it right? Or just enjoy the food that we ordered like we did? What would you have done?
You are too funny! Ellison is not in any way related to politics. It's about an elephant whose trunk makes unusual sounds, but ends with those unusual sounds making music. It's really cute but his attention span is finally long enough to read it exaggerated and theatrical like the cd reads.
ReplyDeleteAny why am I just know finding out about the blog? :) Truett talks about you guys and can't wait to visit you all again soon! Maybe next year we can fly up there.
Happy Birthday, Uncle Scott! From all of us down here in Lousy-Anna!
Well for the lattes, I would have said something. Not in a jerky tone or anything. I usually say something jokey to the person who made it and I've never had problems with them making it over. Plus usually they let you keep the mess up. 4 drinks for the price of 2 isn't bad.
ReplyDeleteThe potato soup thing I wouldn't have said anything, just because since you were home, it'd be that much more time to go back and get the right kind.
However, I remember one time at Taco Bell I went through drive through and I wanted Sierra Mist. I got Pepsi instead so when she handed me the food, I asked again for Sierra Mist and she said, "Well I'd have to change the syrup bag in the back." And I'm thinking, "Yeah, I'm not interested in what you have to do, I don't need the whole story, I just want the right drink." But I let it go. And what's funny is that's the one I worked at in high school and I even know the lady. She was retarded, literally.
