People seem to be ordering spinach in the place of pasta a lot recently. Maybe there was something on the today show telling people that this was a good idea? Well guess what, it IS a good idea. Spinach make you feel fuller than you would if you were to eat the equivalent amount of calories in pasta. Spinach also has more beneficial vitamins and nutrients than pasta. Maybe we should start serving pasta made from spinach?

Published December 27, 2009 | | So I was waiting on a table the other day, just a 2 top at a booth, a mother and son (about 7) in for lunch. Normally this would be a great bonding experience where parents can communicate with their children, talk about each others day or recent events, etc… But this table was a little different. BOTH the mom and son spent the ENTIRE time texting and going online with their blackberry mobile devices (who buys their 7 year old a blackberry anyways?). Not only were they not paying attention to each other, they could hardly look up for me to take their order. OK, so I’m making a big deal out of something stupid, but WTF, seriously, WTF is wrong with these people. |
Texting at the table |
It seems like this is a pretty common occurrence these days, its not the first time I have seen such a thing while waiting tables, but it still strikes me as incredibly rude and strange. If I was eating dinner with someone and they started texting or answered their phone I would be pissed (i know there are some situations in which it is ok…). I guess most people don’t share my sense of cell phone manners. Do you?
