So the husband called me yesterday and asked me whether I wanted to do something “special” today. His weekend helper needed some extra hours and asked whether he could work for my husband today. At first, I didn’t know what we could do since I work until 10pm and by the time I’m off work, there really isn’t anywhere to go.
I mean, we could go to a bar, but we do that anyway, heh.
But then I remembered that Jack’s Bistro serves food until 1am and there food is GOOD. And super-inventive and cool and stuff. I wrote a review of them in my old blog. You should read it.
So I had my tastebuds all set for something neato nifty peachy keen. Thai coconut curry mussels or something like that. We walked all the way down there (a good half hour walk)….only to find out they’re closed for the week. Vacation!
Much pouting ensued. Plus, consternation. It was 11pm and we needed food, badly. And there just isn’t much open……plus, there was the issue of my demanding tastebuds.
I quickly evaluated our options. We could walk back home and I could try to come up with something for dinner on the fly. But I really did not feel like cooking.
Or. We could go to the Sip ‘n’ Bite.
Yeah. So I hit the reset switch on ye olde tastebuds and told them they wanted a pizza burger sub and they protested mightily but we had a good half hour walk back to the diner where I was able to wrestle them into submission and by the time they got their sub they were very happy and made “Mm-mm” noises.
Except, when it came time to pay the tab, we found out that we couldn’t put the tip on our card. And neither of us had any cash. I don’t get that at all. What type of restaurant doesn’t let you put a tip on your card? Have any of you ever heard of such a thing?
But, we are not the sorts to walk out without tipping so I sent the husband scurrying down to Canton Market to get some cash while I tried to avoid finishing the rest of my french fries because really, who needs an ENTIRE side order of fries? Why did I even order fries? It’s not like their fries are particularly spectacular.
So that was my night. I wanted a tuna sashimi martini, I got a pizza burger and I was happy to have it.
Happy Fourth, y’all.
