Dinner Tonight

Tweet

I went out to dinner tonight with my husband and a colleague he hasn't seen in quite some time. My husband asked me to come along and I said I thought it would be better if the 2 of them just met and had dinner so they could talk about work and catch up on things since they haven't seen each other in at least 5 years. But my husband really wanted me to come along and since he has been suffering from a great deal of sciatica pain, I decided to go and keep him cheered up. We were able to get a few errands done first like going to the bank, his getting a haircut, and picking something up at Home Depot. Then we met this man for dinner. I found the whole evening to be very boring. The man talked...a LOT...and it was hard for both my husband and me to hear him because the restaurant was loud, and he talked softly and fast. But the stuff he did talk about was all work-related and catching up on a lot of people they used to work with. So I just sat back and listened and ate. My food was really good though. I had a crab cake sandwich with lettuce and tomato and a side of sweet potato fries. Both of the men had salmon and a side...and neither one ate much of their side dish (spicy creamed corn for my husband and fried green beans for the other man). But we all shared dessert which was a delicious lemon blueberry bread pudding with a side of vanilla ice cream. On the way home, my husband said the best part of the evening was dessert, and sitting next to me at dinner. Hurray! That was worth going for. Have you ever gone out to dinner and been totally bored by the conversation?
