Vic ala Carte

Ever wonder why a lot of the stories revolve around food. Its because food has been a very important part of Vic's life. I've always said, Vic was the best cook, but she hates baking.  I want everyone to know right off the bat, that I love my wife's cooking.  So many stories and so little time.  This post is more about what she does outside the house, and not inside.
I know I was in trouble early in our marriage when we would goto restaurants, she would struggle with selecting a good meal.  Everything looked good, and she would get the "Deer in the headlights" look every time it was her turn to order.  I always said, "get the spinner out!" so she would pick something, geez will you order already!  Even though she thought she would select a meal, if another table had food delivered after her order, she would change her order.  I always said to the waiter, "Put the order in, and don't come back or she will change it!"  And she has.... I just melt under the table....

Top Five things Vic does Restaurant-in'  (is this a new word, spell check doesn't like it!):   

1-Orders Food and Changes her Mind.
2-Will spill any type of sauce on boobs especially when she is wearing a white top. (she needs a bib).
3-Ask truck drivers at Wall-mart where a good place to eat is?
4-Never Finishes her food (Always a Doggie Bag).  I've seen her not even take a bit of her main meal!  Why don't that call this a Kitty Bag since we don't have a Dog.  (every thing seems to come back to the dumb cat)
5-Offers you her food all the time, even though you don't want it.

That reminds me of a story?

When we were just over this last weekend to Val's (Vic's Mom's) for Lori's (Vic's Sister)  birthday, we sat down for the usual family meatloaf (sorry Val couldn't resist).  Vic was as usual that last to sit down, and started to eat.  In a minuet, Vic announces that she has lost her fork.  She thought is had made its way around the table on a food tray or meat tray or something.  Then she looks right at me and said "You took my fork didn't you?".  Now I have been known to play trickery at the table (tat), but this is not one of them.  Getting between Vic and her readied food is not a good way to start a meal.  Everyone looks at her and says, we don't know where it's at???  She huffs to the silverware drawer, and gets another.  Keep in mind we are already short of tableware, and Val had to bring out the good stuff.  She starts to eat, and low and behold her fork was buried under her salad!  We got a good laugh, and I got a good story for blog.

Never mess with Vic and her food, even though she is the first to share anything on her plate with you.  Sometimes I just want to eat what I ordered, and leave it at that.  Vic will always convince me to try something new.  Her newest is Susi.  Yuck....

I think I'll go to a buffet next time...  Yes now a know why Vic loves Cruises on ships.  They have buffet and she doesn't have to choose one thing.  Hummm It takes me a while, but I figure out things after a while....

Here, Try this.....
