It is one of the reasons I rarely go out to eat; because it seems to happen WAY too often-- especially in chain restaurants, which are not self aware.<br /><br />Absolutely breaks my heart. I probably wouldn't send the food back either - but then I certainly wouldn't eat salad that looked as you described it.<br /><br />As for the soup - that was just....

I would love it if you sent me the link to the site you recommended to Working Girl.

Thanks for making Oaxaca diary available again! I've gone twice to Cuernavaca for language study. It was great, but I wanted to try something different this time. First I was thinking about Playa Tamarindo, Costa Rica (because they have an airconditioned student residence and flights are cheap). But then I found out that lots of folks call it Playa Tamagringo because of all the Americans there...so then I thought about Santiago, Chile. But the flight were very expensive. And now, well...not the best time for an extended stay unless I'll be volunteering my services as a nurse. Then hit upon Quito, Ecuador...cool climate, reasonable flights, but it wasn't until I went to that site you recommended that I found a school that is a really good fit for me. So, I guess this comment was just an extended dance version of, "thanks, Suebob." Also, I don't really blog anymore (I'm in school full-time for an MPH and still working night shift) , but I still visit your blog at least once a week.Working Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519439101834552487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-39271383963869625022010-02-28T10:15:19.241-08:002010-02-28T10:15:19.241-08:00Nance - I was at a meeting with about 20 other peo...Nance - I was at a meeting with about 20 other people with lots of stuff going on, so it would have been a huge disruption to ask for food to be taken away and brought back again...otherwise I am pretty good about complaining.

To have that rare plate of food that you think about for weeks after...compare that to the poor excuse for food you get at someplace like Marie Callendars.<br /><br />One of my chef instructors and I always joke that we want to open a taco truck. Honest, good, affordable food. It is so hard to find anymore.Erratichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618303357855288485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-86982840608451816162010-02-28T07:42:39.045-08:002010-02-28T07:42:39.045-08:00Oh honey.

We think alike when it comes to food...(I was raised by my dad, who used to be a chef, and then the second time around I wised up and married one).<br /><br />Also: there is a tiny Mexican grocery store in my town that sells tacos made with "mystery meat" from a rotating upright spit-thing in what looks kind of like a jury-rigged rotisserie machine. The tacos are like, two for a dollar, soft, and the guy behind the counter makes them by taking a small flour tortilla in one hand and a HUGE FUCKING KNIFE in the other, and slicing paper-thin layers of crisp, greasy deliciousness from the spit-thing directly onto the tortilla. Then he tosses some (FRESH! VERY FRESH!) chopped romaine onto that, adds a scoop of diced (RIPE!) tomato, a pinch of queso fresco, and hands you the tacos with a wedge of lime to squeeze over them and it's HEAVEN. More care than you see put into most $12.99 chain entrees.<br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />Great, now I want some of those tacos and that place is all the way across town and closed on Sundays besides.MFA Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052734298141262385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18820173.post-49968323259649396462010-02-28T06:36:49.309-08:002010-02-28T06:36:49.309-08:00It makes total sense.
