I bought 1 large glass of lemonade and 2 cookies for a quarter. What a bonanza! Granted it was from a lemonade stand and I gave the kids the change from my dollar. Even better.
It makes up for the fact that there was no lettuce at breakfast today. I ask you! How does one make a sandwich without lettuce? And it is not that they do not have lettuce, because they never run out of lettuce. It is just someone not putting lettuce out. Sometimes its tomatoes. Now that I think on it, I believe the culprit is really differences in culture.
A general Western sandwich requires bread, cheese, meat, tomato, lettuce, and various condiments. Some might scoff, but I believe that if you leave out any of these crucial ingredients the delicate balance of the sandwich is irrevocably altered from any appealing treat. For example, lose cheese, meat, bread or lettuce/tomato and you lose key food groups. Lose tomato and/or lettuce and you lose color and crunchy texture. Lose tomato and you lose juiciness. Lose lettuce and you lose that all important buffer between tomato and bread.
Somehow I must communicate this with people from all over the world, for if you forget to put out lettuce, you ruin my sandwich, thus ruining my lunch, thus ruining latter half of my day.
Okay it is not that dire, but you should see the fuss people put up if heaven forbid we forget the soy milk.
Secondly, if I have to eat ribs for dinner one more time I am going to scream. It is like the cook said, "This is all I now how to make and I'm sticking with it." Plus, the ribs are very UN-lean, so when I am given my SINGLE rib at dinner it is the equivalent of recieving about a marble-sized piece of meat.
But yeah, those cookies and lemonade were good. (Looking for that mercurial lining.)
