badI will never go back here AGAIN!

The restaurant is small and had one well intentioned waitress. We ordered at the counter, paid and sat down. There was a family of 5 or 6 near us waiting for their order to come out. they wasit qujite a while after we had sat down before getting lunch. Then we continued waiting.

We were not going to leave because we had already paid eighteen (18)  dollars for lunch. (Kathie paid a $2 tip ahead of time.) There were two old ladies near us who finished their meals and left. One great-grandmother came over, patted me on the arm several times and said "you have waited too long. I think they lost your order."

She then gave the waitress a piece of her mind.

The waitress came over and said the cook was overworked and the food would come out shortly. "Shortly" was about 10 more minutes.

I got my hamburger and so few French fries that I could see the plate between the French fries (this would have killed a tip although the delay would have done so.) The food was fine, the service nearly non-existent.) 

I think we got the "fucking outsider" service although the family of six, who I suspect were locals, also got the same crappy service.  Maybe we were treated as locals?

I wanted some ice creamme. The selection of 8 ice creamme were basically empty. I got a vanilla soft serve; the soft serve machine had an ancient looking "CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM BROKEN" sign. The waitress said "the chocolate serve machine just broke".

I should have assumed the vanilla soft serve machine was possibly defective as well. That night, I got sick and I think I may have gotten food poisoning from the bowl of "vanilla soft creamme". 

Anyway, I did not barf that night, but I came close. I should have waited until we got to Enid Oklahoma and gone to Braums for that ice creamme.


My main take away from this is to be far more leery of going to local places. This place didn’t look all that wonderful from the outside. It would have been better to go to one of the chain places located on one street. (Of course, the amount of fat in the spaghetti I had for dinner may have contributed?) 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

greatWe at dinner at a very nice place in Enid Oklahoma.


The building is designed to look like a century old place with distressed plaster over bricks (almost windows in the plaster) and visible ventilation pipes. We thought this charming and quite attractive.

The waitress was quite at tentative and the service very well done.

The food was excellent!  the chocolate cake was probably the best example of this type of desert I have ever eaten. 

It is quite easy to find things top criticize in a restaurant but much harder to find things to praise in excellent. The place in Medicine Lodge was entirely too easy to criticize and the place in Enid so good that it is hard to single out items to praise. Napoli in Enid Oklahoma is simply that good!

____Breakfast: 1 hamburger patty
               2 fried eggs
               2 slices of sour dough toast
               coffee
 
________Lunch:  A two piece chicken dinner from the Rat KFC: 
                an extra crispy thigh

                a medium "Diet Coke"
                a chocolate chip cookie

_______Dinner:  We went to Gymon Petro and I had spaghetti with meatballs
                Diet Pepsi

Pre-Bed Snack:  Small amount of dark chocolate; I did not feel like drinking.

I was hungry and ate two hamburger patties for dinner yesterday. A couple of hours after finishing dinner, when I had been asleep for perhaps an hour, I woke up gurgling up nasty stomach juices. I kept waking up until between 3 am and 4 am fighting off the urge to barf. Besides that, I had trouble sleeping.

I had the remaining hamburger patty and two fried eggs for breakfast. The grease turned my stomach and it wasn't until I took a nap about 9:30 am that my stomach settled down and I lost the urge - the fear - that I was going to barf!

About an hour after going to bed, the familiar :"fixing to vomit" signals came up so I immediately went to the bathroom and vomited. I then went back to bed and having spared myself hours of misery, went back to sleep fairly quickly,

After last night's high score, I wanted to see how much this morning's score would fall. It was 134, which is quite high. I checked my pills and found I did not have any Januvia; I put the Januvia in. This evening, I found I apparently did not have glipizidel; I put the 5mg glipizide in.

I will be checking for both drugs for the rest of this drug period.

The last time (10 December 2010) we went to Jalisco, the service was absolutely awful. It was much better tonight. We might be willing to go back. However, we have drastically cut back on our going out to dinner (today's breakfast and supper to the contrary) and we were not all that impressed. If it were not for the memory of how bad it was on 10 December 2010, I would be inclined to call tonight's food merely adequate.
