I'm lousy at on the spot writing
but, the worst meal? hmmm…it's been a lot of years of meals for me so it's hard to choose. Probably the year I cooked the turkey w/ all the neck, gizzard and crud still in it.
hey, I was young and dumb. how was I to know all that goop was inside the bird?
For our second date, my husband took me to an all-you-can-eat diner that reeked of rancid grease and old fish. Napkins littered the floor; one even stuck to my fancy high heels. The "All You Can Eat for $3.95" brought heat to my cheeks. Was this man a cheapskate?
I picked at the soggy piece of fried cod, gulped at the congealed gravy on too-yellow potatotes, and stabbed at a mushy green bean.
"I'm really sorry." He took a sip of iced tea. Winced. "This place is awful."
Our next date was at a swanky steak place.
Fun!

Patti's experience is just like Mark and Ann's in Meander Scar! Funny.
The fish's eye stared at me from a bed of green something or other. If we'd been swimming in a kelp bed, it would have been intriguing. From a white, ceramic dinner plate, not so much. The candle sputtered and went out when a waiter crashed through the kitchen doors directly behind me. The draft and odor of burnt onions didn't help an already dismal ambiance. Chet's hand was cold and soft when he reached for mine. I shuddered. After a prayer, I tried to pick through the rice which stuck in a gooey ball. The water in my glass was luke warm and the rolls crumbly. I threw my napkin over the fish's eye. No way was I going to touch that.
