Yesterday was Mother’s Day. My oldest son took me out to see a movie (his treat, so his choice – Ironman 2 of course!) and then out to dinner at a Chinese Restaurant. This particular restaurant we had only been to once before, and we were impressed with the quality of food so we decided to go back there again. This time, however, the food did not taste as good. I ordered the sweet ‘n sour chicken (my favorite!) and the taste was a little bit off. I don’t know if the oil was going bad or not, but it just wasn’t something that would bring me back there again!
We ordered a couple of alcoholic beverages to try (neither one of us are “drinkers”) and we exchanged sips. His drink was a Mai Tai, and mine was a drink with a bad name that I shouldn’t put on the Internet! Both of them the alcoholic content was so strong that we really couldn’t tell the difference between them as far as taste goes! A little bit later I had a headache, so I’m not sure if it was MSG in the food or if they had used cheap rum in the drinks. Either one of those will give me a headache!
But neither one of us finished our drinks, so we were both fine to drive home. I offered to drive, but my son really wasn’t even tipsy. I don’t think he’ll order another Mai-Tai!
