Last night I went out to dinner. I did not want to go to dinner, I
wanted to go to sleep. Unusually tired. Okay, finally got it
together, went to this place that has really good food. Open kitchen,
I guess you might picture a California pizza kitchen ? type of place.
Microbrewery.

Anyway, I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat, but I knew I wanted it
soon. The penne with vodka sauce was calling my name, but I thought,
you need something with protien. Man, they make a great pasta fagioli.
Maybe. Oh, I know, I'll have the peppardelle bolognese. Can you
tell I was even too tired to chew?

Guy brought over the drinks and the bread, they have nice cracker
things and nice rolls. No butter, olive oil with pepper. I like that,
but I really like butter.

Backing up, when we went to place our order, the guy said, there is
food right behind you, I guess like a happy hour thing. Thanks, I
think I need a real plate of food. I didn't say that, but you know
how that happy hour spread can be. I wandered over to see if they
had maybe some salad or something, what to my wondering eyes should
appear? I coulda saved like $13! Peppardelle bolognese! Learned
me to be a snob.

Hmm, along it's been I, I, I, (14 times) Aye, Aye, Aye... so was all prepared
for a follow-up to the 'dining alone' thread, and here you toss in a
monkey-WE-wrench. Just an observation, we've no question.

Hmm, back to the I, I, I (six more times)... 'we' died. Anyway, what's the
point of the story... other than the order taker being largely remiss in not
apprising you of the essentially free peppardelle bolognese. You needed to
quickly change your order, and/or refuse to accept for a cost what is
essentialy free. You're not the snob, the restaurant management is el stupido
for not removing that entree from the menu.

You needed to take your cue when I said, I *really* didn't want to go
out to dinner. If I had my druthers, I would have been sound asleep.
I often use I when it's we, but this post had nothing to do with we.
All me. I I I. mememememe! My favorite song, healthy self esteem.

It was just a little joke, no point. No solutions needed, nothing
wrong, just ... look at that, I coulda had my dinner for free. So
what. Besides, would have taken maybe 2 or 3 trips to get as much
as I managed to get down. Not my idea of a good time.

Sometimes a story is just a story.

I really don't get it (how all those I's can mean we) but you did say "we" (one
time), which is what I found confounding.

No, I really didn't know that... how could I know, to my memory you've never
posted that bit of info and in all these years we've never once swapped email.
I was truely under the impression that you were single and from some long ago
posts that you possessed the bestest biggest breasts of all the trollops... now
I'm disappointed that they're, I mean you're taken. Live and learn. <g>

Yeah, poor guy's minding his own business, why drag him into it.

(laugh) Well, if I count both marriages, I've been married upwards
of 25 years. Amazing, considering I'm only 37.

Yes, it's very wise to keep ones personal beeswax to oneself on usenet...
especially regarding rfc... for every regular poster there are over 1000
regular lurkers.

I reread my original post, I didn't use I when I meant we once. He
ordered a margerita pizza, it looked great. Had nothing to do with
my little story.

Now, that's completely wrong. I haven't swapped emailed with you a
lot, but most certainly more than once.

> I was truely under the impression that you were single

I guess you missed when Jill wished me a happy 20th anniversary in
April 2003. That's okay, it has zip to do with rfc.

Heh! I Hubby on occasion, but mostly because he when we disagree on
a cooking issue, he'll say "ask your cooking newsgroup".

Ah yes, one of the nicer things about being an RFCer... <g>

Well, I should've said *personal* email... I'm sure I've sent recipes,
technical info and such to most everyone at one time or another, but that's not
anything I'd recall. At one point it was common for one to forward a copy of a
post to whoever one was replying to when it involved pertinent cooking info...
to my knowlege that practice seems to have ceased... at least I no longer see
"posted and emailed" in the posts... but then again the majority of posts have
degraded to the point where very little on topic info is discussed anymore, too
bad.

I suppose I missed that one post from a year ago. Hmm, 20th, and you're 37...
that means your first marriage must have been quite fleeting... I guess I can't
really use that old adage with you about youth being wasted on the young.

Well, I'm sure I spelled it wrong. It's got cheese, basil and
tomatoes on it. It's a beautiful pie. This one had grape tomatoes.
Colors of the Italian flag. Maybe it's margherita? Someone will
correct me.

Nope. It was quite some time ago, the most recent when you were ill.
