Xmas, part 1

Out with the girlfriends for our annual Xmas dinner/gift exchange. O felt like getting some comfort food so we went to the BOB which had actual, real comfort food on the menu: beef stroganoff, mac and cheese, beef stew, tuna noodle casserole, etc. Our waiter was a real treat - when another diner asked him what the sweet chili sauce that came with the fried chicken was he responded 'um, it's a sweet chili sauce.' N asked what chicken piccata was and his answer was 'it's chicken. cooked. there's a sauce.' My dinner was so-so, but the recommended mushroom medley poppers ('it's mushrooms, in a fried thing') and my dirty martini were very comforting.
