The other night we stopped at a chain restaurant for dinner. We both
ordered a dish with braised beef. When the waitress took the order, she
asked "how would you like that cooked?". I told her it would be well
done, but she told me the POS system gave options for beef.

I guess they don't give good lessons about what is on the menu. She
seemed to be fairly new and probably does not cook much for herself.

Sadly I have noticed the wait staff often do not know how the food is
prepared or what is in it.

I once asked what was on the house salad. The waitress just looked at me
like I was an idiot for asking and said it was just a salad with whatever
dressing I wanted. So I said, "Oh! No croutons or cheese then?" And she
told me of *course* there were croutons and cheese. So I asked her to leave
those off and also the dressing.

She then brought out a plate of greens with assorted vegetables, covered
with slices of hard boiled egg. *sigh* I then told her that I couldn't eat
egg and could she please bring me a salad that was only the vegetables.

And what did I get then? Just the greens. Apparently she didn't consider
carrots, celery, onions peppers and tomato to be vegetables.

She may have thought that if she put all those things on your salad
there would still be something that was offensive to you, and you'd
send it back again.

I am surprised the waitress didn't take an early meal break.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

No. She was just clueless. Couldn't tell me to begin with what all was on
there and that was the first time I had gotten a salad with egg where the
egg wasn't listed on the menu.

I just love hard boiled egg on a salad. Especially with thousand
island dressing. Yum!

You wouldn't love it if it did to you what it does to me. I will spare you

But you didn't tell her that first. Nor did you bother to list every
single thing you can't eat before you ordered it. Your list of "I
can't, I won't" is longer than the menu so naturally you couldn't tell
her all the things you won't eat. You'd have been there all night.

I'm sure she was frustrated so she brought you salad greens.
Quitcherbitchin.

You could do like other people do. Specify what you want. If it's not
available they'll tell you. Just because it's not exactly what is
listed on the menu doesn't mean they can't do it.

BTW, Ed was being facetious when he posted this. Just because the
computer offered choices for beef doesn't mean braised beef will be
served rare. DUH.

It would have taken a long time to list every single thing that I can't eat.
And someone that clueless wouldn't realize that dairy would be in croutons
and cheese. I have never, ever had any other place put eggs on a dinner
salad. That's just not something I've encountered. Only cheese, croutons
and sunflower seeds. And not many places use seeds.

She also apparently didn't know what a vegetable was.

No I didn't. I was very clear when I said that I wanted a salad with just
the vegetables and nothing else. I won't debate with you about whether a
tomato should be called a fruit or a vegetable.

And how in the HELL would I have known what came on that salad? Most
restaurants don't put all those things on it. It's all a moot point now as
that place is long gone. Now it's a Buffalo Wild Wings.

Those are not what are traditionally known as dinner salads. Those are
meals. A dinner salad is usually some greens with perhaps other raw
veggies. I know of one place in CA that put kidney beans on it. Just a
few. Some places will give you a few olives. Sometimes cucumbers. Less
likely, cheese. Less likely still, sunflower seeds. But most of the time
it is a mix of lettuce, cabbage and carrots, with or without croutons.

Of course I know that eggs are used in salads. Just not dinner salads.
Perhaps they go by some other name where you are? Also known as side salads
or garden salads. If you are given a choice of soup or salad before the
meal, this is the salad you would get. It's small and not intended to be
the meal.

Probably everyone knows that. But you did work in a restaurant. So you
should know that those are not dinner/garden/side salads. They're meals.

How did "dinner salads", with or without croutons and eggs, suddenly
become the topic when Ed, the OP, was talking about braised beef?!

?? Because the cow hijacked the thread so it became the "me, me, me"
and "I this, I that, and I me!" chorus lines. And, I don't mean the

Egg is a good addition. I prefer ranch dressing most times but I also
love the cheap mayo&ketchup mix.

Then you've never had a "Chef's salad" in the USA or a "Salad Nicoise".

their salad but also did not know what vegetables were and thought that a
vegetable was whatever bagged salad mix that they used.
