to celebrate john's completion of his internship, we decided to go out for a nice dinner. and i'm talking nice. like, so nice i felt out of place. we haven't been to a restaurant that nice since.... i don't even know. but we'd heard lots of good things about it, and it came highly recommended from so many people. so we decided to give it a shot.
and oh.my.f a n c y! sometimes you forget when you're living off home-cooked meals and $15 date-nights that such places exist. but they do, and they are fun to go to once and awhile.
john ordered the braised rabbit, i ordered the duck n' beef burger, medium-well.
i regretted it once i said it. medium-well, you idiot! they will over cook it and it will be dry!
and it was.
when i mentioned this to john, he encouraged me to send it back, which i inevitably did. and then, after they brought me back a perfectly medium burger, {i should have known! from now on i will always order medium, i've made up my mind.}, and i finished it to my heart's content, and my stomach overflowed with delicious duck meat.... they brought us three desserts to compensate. you heard me. three desserts. < insert embarrassed emoticon >
oh man. those desserts. that were soooo good. and i was soooo embarrassed. but nothing could top my surprise when we got in the car and john said,
"well, i didn't want to say it in the restaurant but i had read on yelp that if you send your food back they bring you their entire dessert menu."
no wonder he encouraged me to send my food back! he's a smart man, and i love him.
well, there's no great way to end this story so i guess.... may the force be with you.

this is hilarious. I love that John knew the trick all along.
