« A Whore on My Back | Main | Fashionable Food » Salad for 8
March 26, 2005
"Hello?" "Are you feeling better?" "I am, thank you. Still a bit..." "Are you better enough to make food for me?" "Well I hadn't..." "You're not catering tonight, are you?" "I personally am not. But we have a drop, yes." "What about tomorrow?" "No. Tomorrow is Easter. It's a family day." "Ok because I am having an emergency!" "What is..." "I was invited to spend Easter with Friends and they have asked that I bring a salad. I'm not good with salads!" "What kind of..." "It's my choice. I want something different, something wonderful." "How many people are we talking?" "8." "Excuse me?" "8 people. I know that's a lot of food on short notice." "Um. Well. Really not. But only 8 people?" "Only? Ok. Phew! That means it won't be any trouble." "Well I ..." "Can I pick it up in the morning or would tonight be better?"

Seems like one of those sample role playing questions you might get at a seminar or something. Choose one of the following responses; A. Ahhh no I'm sorry we we're on our way out of town, promised my husband we would take a trip to (insert lovely location). But if you go to Epicurious.com they have a wonderful collectoin of salads for you to make. B. Well you know I don't think it would be a good idea for me to handle food with my INFECTION still hanging on, especially a salad, and I gave all my staff the day off as it IS a FAMILY DAY and NOT a work day. C. How pathetic are you that you can't throw a salad together for 8?! Sit down and watch PBS on a Saturday morning. D. OK but that's going to run you right around $25 per person. E. Hang up and skip town for three days. -Unbelievable What are you making? Posted by: Paul at March 26, 2005 06:58 PM Unreal. I hope you really soak her for this one. (Ten bucks says it's the same lady who wanted you to make dinner - or hors d'oeuvres -for 8 a month or so ago.) Posted by: Dr Alice at March 26, 2005 11:06 PM N.
Posted by: HomefrontSix at March 27, 2005 12:08 AM Do you deliver? 'Cause I could really use a nice salad right now and I don't feel like getting off my fat arse and chopping my own veggies. Posted by: Barb at March 28, 2005 04:03 AM You will all be happy to know that by the time the phone call ended, the answer was no. I explained to her the risks of all the bacteria in my head. I think it freaked her out. Worked like a charm. ;-) Posted by: The Food Whore at March 28, 2005 10:27 PM  |
