sarrenI AM ABOUT TO BE VERY BRAVE.
I would have liked to have been blessed with adventurous taste buds. I *LIKE* to try new things…unfortunately I often don’t like them.
Lately I’ve been trying to not choose the meat option for my midday meals, and in the spirit of this new resolution I just bought a baguette from Miss Mauds that is: tuna, feta, avocado, sundried tomatoes and dill sauce. I'm a bit worried about that combination of ingredients. In fact, given I’m not a fan of dill I’m a bit terrified.
When I got to the counter there was a mob of old people all vying to be served – it wasn’t pretty. I waited. After they’d all left I was approached by a server with that unmistakeable expression in her eyes of the hospitality worker who’s lost all hope and possibly the will to live.
Me *conspiratorily* Wow, that was a lot of cranky old people. I was afraid to move until they left.
Server *eyes me, clearly deciding whether to trust me*
Me *smiles sympathetically*
Server *smiles* OMG they are always like that! They think we’re not trying to serve them!
Me – Because clearly you’re all standing around chatting.
Server – I know, right? *procedes to very cheerful and helpful*

What's with eating less meat at lunch? Is it environmental concerns? Are you reducing your carbon footprint? Did I miss a memo?
