Whats for Dinner? Dos

[tiny dancer]

Thinking about pizza.

 

[susanp6]

salmon in sauce with potatoes&veg - it's a pre-pack version i've had a few times from my local store and it's

 

[tiny dancer]

Definitely pizza. I stopped on the way home from work and pick one up.

 

[susanp6]

Oh You off to eat your takeaway? It might get cold! No want cold pizza!

 

[tiny dancer]

No, no yet. It's not even 4:30 pm here, and it 'a a little bit too early to eat. I can heat it up,and it still will taste good!

 

[susanp6]

That is v early for dinner Do you ever get stuff delivered from any takeaway places? That's where i get a curry from a lot!

 

[tiny dancer]

Sometimes I do, if I don't want to wait, but this place was on the way home, and they were not too busy at the time. Also I don't have to tip the driver, which saves me a bit of money. Right now I'm low on cash,and I get paid tomorrow, thank goodness.

 

[susanp6]

Wow! Tipping people who bring takeaways isn't a thing that's done that much here! i think stuff like that is different in the US mind you 'cos i know that over there 20% tip's considered normal in restaurants isn't it?

 

[tiny dancer]

Yes It is a way ofl ife here in the States. About the 20%. I only pay that if I get good service, other wise I'll leave 15%.

 

[susanp6]

On a chat show we have here, they were discussing how you do that and it's all women and one of them said because they're getting/expecting excellent service that's why they're fine with paying that much! I definitely agree that you shouldn't tip if they haven't provided the service they ought to

Here, there's a common place thing called service charge which is automatically added to your bill&it seems like it's quite contentious at times 'cos it's like well you should hand the tip to the server as you see fit! it's 12.5%!

 

[Carek1230]

I pay according to how good and attentive the server and service is. To me that is fair. The servers are already geting hourly wages.

 

[Doozer61]

i had one of those weight watcher thingys...salisbury steak. it was okay. but it left me a little hungry.

 

[tiny dancer]

I never get enough to eat with those kinds of meals. They give you such small portions to eat.

 

[tiny dancer]

Fish & chips tonight!

 

[RavenBlue]

Tomato soup

 

[susanp6]

What kind of fish Tiny? Fish&chips is big over here
I was talking to my mum about it a short while ago on the phone&we were talking about how you prob don't have the fish we'd have a lot from the chip shops here, haddock? Mum said to say hi and she hopes you're feeling fine

I'm eating late here s. fried chicken with curry noodles i've eaten stuff a lot later than this in the past mind you!

 

[tiny dancer]

It was haddock that I had tonight, and it was so good!

 

[susanp6]

Unbelievable Tiny!!!! that's exactly the fish we love and the one i didn't think you'd have had! Wow, that's so great! You've had it then how did you cook it?

 

[tiny dancer]

I breaded it, and than cook in the oven.

 

[susanp6]

Ah right! i have eaten it like that sometimes but over here people have it deep fried a lot!

I'm off to put my chicken out&do the rest of my cooking - be back in 40 mins

 

[tiny dancer]

Oh I like it fried too, but I have to watch my cholesterol at times.

 

[susanp6]

I'm back my chicken was yummy plus i had salad with it!

 

[fly so high!]

I'm going to my first Christmas party tonight and i will be devouring into a banquet of Oysters,calamari and lots and lots of other foods.........I hate my shoes that i bought....they look great but they are not confortable and xmas earings irritate the shit out of me!

 

[tiny dancer]

Grilled marinaed chicken on my Foreman Grill and brown rice and a piece of angel food cake

 

[Total U2 Nut]

Nothing

 

[susanp6]

I had plain rice with small supermarket size chicken tikka - it was nothing special

 

[tiny dancer]

So we both had chicken and rice tonight.

 

[susanp6]

[tiny dancer]
