type 2 for 6 years, 8 months, 8 days...

Breakfast: wheaties and coffee

Snack: a bierock (hamburger) and coffee

Lunch: a Healthy Choice meal (meatloaf) and a bottle of Diet Pepsi

Dinner: We went to the Miriah Hills Restaurant and I had:

• salad with French dressing
• ½ of an order of Mozzarella sticks
• a 16 oz rib-eye steak done medium
• baked potatoe with sour creamme and butter (I asked for more butter and got a little container of melted butter vice a chunk and that was a very nice touch!)
• two bottles "Coors Original" (this was one of the very rare occasions when I was the "Designated Drinker" vice the "Designated Driver"

The food was excellent and the only problem I had was the steak was not cooked to "medium" but to "medium rare". This often happens when Kathie and I both order steak; the cooks put both on and they both come out "medium rare". I probably should have bitched to the owner (Ham) but didn't feel like it.

Our waiter was on his 3^rd night working there so we decided to cut him some slack (also, Kathie knows him from work...). He kept forgetting to bring my water (I like more than a beer with dinner!) and started to pick up my plate after I asked for a box to take the left overs home in. The cheese sticks and salad was enough that I could not finish my steak and baked potatoe; I intended to take it home and did not want the restaurant to shit can my leftovers. After all, if I didn't eat that left over steak, my dog would surely eat it!

On a different issue, why is that local restaurants can't seem to get it through their heads that some of don't like diet -er- light/lite/Ultra beers and want a real beer such as:

• Mic Lager
• Coors Original
• Fosters Lager
• Henry Weinharts Private Reserve and even
• A Bud Lager

It must be a sign of the times?
