Yeah, I'll be going to the store in a little bit. May get some grapes if they have some
nice looking ones. Think I'll even get some strawberry cheesecake. Doesn't that
sound delicious?!?!

Now, what can we have for supper????

Of course, none of these would happen here:

The Restaurant Chronicles
"How much is the $1.99 popcorn chicken?"
"Don't you guys have them 99 cent Whoppers?" -- Asked of a Taco Bell cashier.
"How many pieces are in the eight piece chicken deal?"
"What's the difference?" -- Asked of a waitress when asked if the customer would like breadsticks with or without cheese.
"Do you get rice with your fried rice?"
"Our whipped butter is made with margarine." -- On a menu.
"Excuse me. These ham and cheese rolls -- do they have ham in them?" -- A customer at a bakery cafe.

Have you noticed....and I do it too, so I am guilty.....you have a 3-4 page menu and you close it after you decide, then when the wait person takes your order, you have to open the menu, find the item and point to it so they will know (trust me, they already know)
or if you are playing the host/hostess and you seat a group of hearing impaired people and give them braille menus? (saw it happen)! Had the whole table in fits of laughter!

Moo, I can just imagine that, handing out braille menus to the hearing impaired! At
least they laughed, and weren't insulted!

What's on today's menu for dinner/supper? How about a big ole pot of chili? Sounds
good to me: what do you say?

Chili sounds like a winner - need some good home-made bread for dunking, etc, to go with it!

A little Googling is a wonderful thing. Search on "Dining Car Menus". There are many more.

Heavenly Hash ice cream on hand. Of course, that will be AFTER a nice bowl of
the chili! [angel]
