A Get-Together

I like Margarita's for its high ceilings and cheerful colors. We ordered the gamut of quesadillas, enchiladas, guacamole and salsa. Then we asked if the vegetable soup was vegetarian. The server said "Of course!" And of course our table was quizzical. Vegetable soup could have been cooked in chicken stock okay.

That started the whole conversation about vegetable dishes that weren't actually vegetarian, how airlines and restaurants weren't understanding about Jains who don't even take vegetables that are roots. We traded many stories on flying experiences on the different airlines. The man also recalled that once on our national carrier- he made his choice of having Indian-vegetarian meals. The stewardess actually replied without thinking, "But you're not Indian." 

Conversation with this bunch is always hilarious. Anyway. The big debate of the night was whether everyone should own a Wii. Just so we could stop plonking coins into the machines and complete House of The Dead 2 & 3 in peace. The man was terrible and stole the birthday girl's bumblebee windmill.

Sorry birthday girl!!! I hope the gore-tex jacket keeps you warm in the chilly spring breeze and makes up a little for it!
