Well, this time, she topped herself. And, that is saying something! I can't imagine this one ever being surpassed, but maybe saying that is tempting fate. And, I forgot to bring my usual appetizer, a Zantac 75.
It sucked. Terrible spaghetti sauce. But, that wasn't "the topper". I knew there was only a slight chance it might be decent as I have been going there for family dinners for over twenty years. It was the peas, carrots, corn and green beans... in spaghetti sauce... I mean, that's just adding insult to injury.
The garlic bread was sopping mushy with cheap garlic butter which I doubt had any butter in it. The "Caesar" salad was soaked with "No Name" Ranch dressing and the croutons were stale (Seriously, figure that one out!!). The "cheesecake" was topped with runny caramel syrup and the crust was so full of sugar that I could SEE the crystals.
The tea was okay.
Anyone else know someone who can take a simple recipe and "tweak" it until it's hellishly disgusting?
Oh dear, another cramp. I gotta go back outside. Maybe I could hook her up with NASA? She means well, though... I think....
