Food Peeve: Ladies Who Don’t Really Lunch
Do you ever think it stinks going out to eat with other women?
I am thinking of someone in particular now. For the sake of this blog, I am going to call her Skeletor. She’s actually a great girl, but I really hate going out to eat with her. Let me give you an example. She will make it a point to order large fries (chips). She will only pick at them and leave over half, same with dinner. Skeletor is a real talker. She can talk for England. She tells me all about her man troubles. Blah, blah, blah. Am I really supposed to be listening when there is something much more interesting then her sitting right on my plate?
Do people ever make you feel ashamed of eating by just picking at their own food? Is it such a bad thing for a girl to want to eat? Sometimes I feel like being female and loving food creates the ultimate paradox. Either you look good and are hungry all the time, or you eat what you want and you become a big piglet who can’t fit into any cool clothes, or you try to be somewhere in the middle but end up spending hours every week like a hamster on a treadmill.
Ok, time for desert. Skeletor says, “Oh, I am so full, I couldn’t eat another bite.” She says this after I have just eaten a troughs worth of food. You’re damn right I want some freakin cake(s). I have the urge take a big piece of trout from a neighboring table and just smack her with it.
Does this ever happen to you? This hamster wants to know.

Whether I am making a mess in the kitchen, spending Hubby's hard earned money, or trudging along on my hamster wheel (aka the dreaded treadmill), shenanigans are always afoot! If you are looking for trouble, you've found her.
I have just come across this blog through random googling and I have to say I absolutely love it.
This post in particular made me laugh out loud and get disapproving looks from other people in the room, which in my personal opinion means it is fabulous.
You sound like my ideal eating out partner. Three desserts sound ok?
