Brown up a handful of ground Prime Rib, diced Onions and some smallish (diced?) Mushrooms. Add them into the fold of a nice 2-3 egg omelet along with some chunks of Brie or other "melty" type cheese (not slices), and ummmm, tonight's dinner? I could see this.

When I was in Morocco (and Jordan for that matter) I was asking my guides why they drank hot tea. The main idea was that if you could make your body temperature be on par with your surroundings you wouldn't be so uncomfortable. So drinking hot tea in the desert wasn't refreshing so much as bring you to a peaceful…

I. . .think it sounds kind of great actually. Ground beef cheddar omelette with homefries? I'm in.

The cheap tip thing baffles me. My husband and I were at a bar we frequent in Orlando the other day, and this group of people who had had several rounds of margaritas and beers without a single complaint get up to leave, and as they do, the guy who had paid beams at the bartender, taps the bar, and goes, "That's for…

I was eating at Chili's one time and the woman two tables over was popping a zit at the table while her friend held her compact mirror for her. After seeing that, I believe pretty much EVERYTHING is possible.

I will slowly back away from this thread as it's obvious I'm in the minority here.

YES about being somewhat understanding that when you travel, you will be in a different place with different customs, and yes, different prices. I grew up in California, and like many Californians of their generation, my grandparents originally hailed from the Midwest. The concept of inflation and differences in…

I was at one of my favorite restaurants in Austin a few weeks ago, when someone tried to pull that. The waitress brought them their bill, and suddenly, this women starts talking in this intentionally loud voice about how there was too much water in the beans and it made the tortillas soggy.

Someone said something similar to me when I was working on my second Masters while working at a bookstore. (I loved Books, had extra time on my hands, got a NICE discount and free magazines and mostly enjoyed the customers). This older woman comes up and asks "Excuse me miss, Do you know anything about books or do…

KIRK CAMERON IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS PAYMENT

Not hating the religion, hating the people and how they use religion and religious cards in lieu of a tip. I firmly believe that Jesus would tip 20% in every restaurant in every situation, even if the server was rude or the food had to be heated more, because patience is a virtue and the whole 'treat people the way…

I was once taking a birthday cake order at a bakery. The woman wanted a photo transfer and was asking how large the decorator could make the photo. I explained that they would increase the size, but stop just before the photo pixilated. The woman I was serving had the nerve to say to me "Oh, honey, pixilated! That's a…

Nah, you're a regular, and you weren't a dick about it. Of course I'm not going to ban you.

The manager and general manager, yes...but anywhere with a 2-for-20 special is a national chain. The manager reports to the general manager, who reports to the district manager, who reports to the regional manager...and so on. These places have really long management chains and the managers are motivated to resolve…

I had that shit pulled on me when I was working retail on Newbury Street in Boston, which meant there were entitled, rich suburban moms with their equally entitled kids buying stupid t-shirts that would fall apart after the first wash for $25 a pop. I was in grad school, as many, many people working retail in Boston…

I back away slowly any time someone refers to their animals as their "children," but the show-dog people are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond that level.

Next week should be a server's revenge post to serve as a catharsis for this.

Her soup was not hot (our clientele is mostly elderly so our soup is so hot it has given servers second degree burns)...
