Never.
It was just too strange. The woman with her legs up was just bizarre. As my husband said "the food was not great, but the clientele was really bad"
Wow, I am either going to need to quit drunken baking, OR my oven is broken. Tonight, we just had a few leftovers for dinner, so I decided to bake some package mix brownies. I firmly beleive I set the oven as I have a thousand times, and set the timer for 35 mins, per package instructions.
After about 15 mins, DH said, "Did you spill something in the oven?" I can't think of anything. So, after about 30 mins. I pulled out the brownies, and they were black on both sides.
I have never burned anything in my life, except on the grill. I fear it's the fault of my oven, but I will double check it when I'm stone cold sober tomorrow.
Ok, so tonight I made another box of brownies and the oven is fine. Don't know what happened the other day.
Now this is a funny story...my friend does not like dairy products...some...he is just a very "fussy" eater. So he is ordering his food and specifically tells the waitress he does not want any cheese on his salad or sour cream on his potatoes...she asks him if he is lactose intolerant...and he says he is...okay...fast forward to dessert....they have cheesecake, strawberry shortcake with real whipped cream, homemade cherry pie with vanilla ice cream, the waitress rattles off the choices...and my friend wants cheesecake. The waitress tells him it is made with dairy products....and would make him "ill" because of his lactose issues...so he chooses the strawberry shortcake instead, and she brings it out...no whipped cream. He really wanted the whipped cream....but made such a big deal about no dairy products on his dinner...he is too embarrassed to go back on it...she even brings him coffee with fake creamer because of his "lactose intolerance"....I laughed and laughed....and told him to give her a big tip....
This sounds just like our friends who don't like anything (FWDLA).
She likes lemon meringue pie, but does not like lemons. He likes French onion soup, but does not like onions. To cook for these people is all about adopting an "eat it or wear it" attitude, or they'll take over.

I must have been living under a rock. When did everything change? When my kids were growing up, it was 'you'll eat what we're having or you can go without'. They survived. When did it change to 'this is what we're having, but if you don't like it we can make (insert anything) for you to eat instead'.
What? Not this grandma. I'm only cooking one meal and that's it. If it's not what they prefer, too bad. Either tough it out or do without.
I love going out with people to restaurants, who order food not unlike Meg Ryan, in "When Harry Met Sally"...."I want a vanilla Sundae, made with chocolate ice cream, nuts on top, but only if they are roasted almonds, no whipped cream, I want Cool Whip, If you don't have Cool Whip, don't bother, and I want fresh strawberries on the sundae, not frozen. Put chocolate sauce on the side, and please put this is a large bowl, not a sundae dish"...blah blah...whatever...
Even at a restaurant...sure you pay for the food, but at some point...really...get a reality check.
