11-05-21 The dessert that tried to kill me
A day that was only mildly sucky ended up full of all kinds of comedy. I went straight from work to meet Ashlée, Roger and Rae-Anne at the Heidout for dinner before a comedy show at Key City Theatre. We were first at a small table and then moved to a booth which made Rae especially happy as her fave waiter, Zach worked that section. He is a lovely young man who now lives up the block from them, As always I let them know I have a pepper allergy and the chef came out to clarify some items in what I ordered which was lovely. We had appetizers and beverages and I mentioned I liked my wine glass and needed to add it to my collection. Zach said he would hook me up. Surf and turf was the special and it was good, not fabulous, but good. We had lots of time and were enjoying ourselves so we decided to have dessert as well. After being told the cheese cake Flavour was Banana Cream, that was ordered as well as Toffee Brownie and another Apple something. I have forgotten the other because the cheese cake will always live in infamy. It arrived at our table via someone not our server and we all just looked at it at first, wondering what it was. Finally we all took a bite and I said, oh no that is not good, it’s peppers! Ash said the piece of fruit she ate tasted familiar but wrong and Roger just had a quizzically horrified face. We saw another server walking by and asked what it was and it turns out it was Mango Sweet Pepper! Yes, I now have to mention I am allergic to peppers when dessert is ordered! Poor Zach was horrified and embarrassed, gave us a discount and me a wine glass. We know it wasn’t his fault and we were laughing at the irony of it all.
Next in store was a raunch filled night of comedy courtesy of Cranbrook’s own, Mark McCue and Newfoundland’s own, Lisa Baker. A good night all around. It was nice to make memories with the kids.
This odd machine is in my Physiotherapists office. Looks like something right out of the 1950s.
This was my favourite meme of the week
