Just another manic Wednesday....

I am sitting...quietly...eating supper. I could eat a lot more...but will restrain myself. I love to eat. I am a big eater. I salivate over the word...Buffet...conjures up all kinds of deserts in my head. I seriously think I need to make that Tres Leches cake. Yummy!! I don't know why I have this dessert fetish lately. I don't make them...because I would eat them. But I talk about them...incessantly. Today the dessert conversation included 'poke and pour cakes'...Boston Cream Pie, Fudge Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream drizzled with Hot Fudge...topped out with real New York Cheesecake. Big Fat cheesecake...Kill me!!!

I plan to make another hat for Francine tonight. Another strike on the list. I see nothing coming on TV.

It looks like rain all around us. We did have several heavy claps of thunder earlier this afternoon, but nothing fell from the sky. Maybe later. It is predicted.

I want to contact to our local newspaper and offer to write about places I go into around this town of Alpine...and complain. You know I love to complain...and this would let me do it legitimately. I would just write a paragraph or two...stating the obvious. For example:

Last Sunday, we ordered lunch at Pizza Hut. I, personally, called in the order. Let's see...it was a Personal Pan Pepperoni pizza, a family size order of bread sticks with Marinara sauce, an individual serving of Chicken Alfredo and a, individual serving of Lasagna. Done. It would be ready in 25 minutes. Great. Off we went because we had to go to ALCO first (right next door to Pizza Hut).

FLASH!! We are at the counter to pick up our food. Server says...We tried to call you. We have no Lasagna. Let's see...they have my cell phone number...cell phone is on my belt...never rang...you be the judge. Wait a second...did they run out of lasagna after I hung up? They had it when I called my order in! Consequently, we leave sans llasagna. We were only at the counter for a couple of minutes...but it was long enough to see how incredibly filthy this place was! The preparation area!! I'm not just talking the dirty floor, which is bad enough...I am talking about sauce running down the counters that had been there for quite a while, visible dirt on the carts, dried up lettuce and crusts under the counters, but still in plain view...I'm telling you...This wasn't just the typical daily mess. We were disgusted enough that it will be a while before we eat there again. This lack of cleanliness behavior is also typical for McDonald's here. It's just that you don't SEE it when you go through the drive through or have food delivered. Yuck...'nough said.

Hmmmm....still no rain. But I hear thunder!! Need a shower. I can feel the pizza sauce....bye!
