To my dearest Golden Arch [Enemy],
You are too generous, and I can't imagine why I would ever hate you, or why I hated you in the past.
Yes, it's true that you're the reason behind my muffin-top, and that you're half of the reason why I closed down my restaurant in the first place - but this sudden coupon frenzy has got me going insane.
I'm hesitant to try what you've come to offer me, even if the prices have dropped to such an extent.
I'm hesitant to step on that scale after I've devoured a Big Mac, a large soft drink, and a large fries.
Though I'll admit that I was scared of watching my waistline increase with every soft-serve ice-cream cone that I ate, I'm glad that I took that extra step ate that extra pie.
Apple pie a la mode has never tasted so sweet.
Signed,
Sincerely,
Me.
The franchise never quits on you, does it?
The bags have once again changed their design, alongside the season, but nevertheless, Mickey D's knows how to package cuteness.
Or perhaps it's just a calorie-loaded meal, with no health benefits to offer?
Their motive is still unclear.
Sure, it's around the same price range as everything else, but it also poses a potential threat (as a health hazard, I mean).
So it won't hurt my wallet, but it might cause heart disease? :\
Oh, why so appealing, Mr. McDonald?
I have a few options:
A) Succumb to pressure and just take the bait a bite.
B) Think about it for a while, and decide to cut back on the fatty foods for an extended period of time.
C) Just stop thinking about it, and eat something guaranteed to be healthy instead. Like carrot sticks.

In the past, experiences with this Golden Arch Enemy of mine have been quite nice.
Quality service, not to mention adorable designs.
"Caution - Contents are HOT" on their Apple Pie Cartons?
Ahmazing.
But perhaps that is what I should keep watch for?
The hot apple cinnamon might burn my tongue, while the french fries increase my bulging waistline.
No to muffintop.
I'd keep bandaids handy, and this you know, but little can be done to heal tongue cuts (with the exception of time).
And btw, although other people might think that their service is horrid, I think they're just being stereotypical.
Wouldn't you just ahdore someone that told you that "You're the Best"?
I know I would.
The remnants of a burnt building.
Scattered here and there, tiny fragments of glass and porcelain.
A metal container - burnt and bent from the immense heat, is blackened from the ashes.
With a hard scrub, the thick layer of black dust begins to slowly peel, a sliver of its original face shines through the grime.
Salvaged from the dust, nothing but this.
After having invested so much time and money into this project,
A single glance as I pass by ..
Makes my heart hurt.
I'm closing down the restaurant.
Whether or not it's for the long run, I am not sure.
Out of whatever spur-of-the-moment, I just gave up and tossed everything in the trash.
Maybe it's because everything seems to have spoiled in the heat of the summer.
Maybe it's because I realized that with the decline of the economy, my restaurant should go too.
But it doesn't mean that there's never a chance of new beginnings.
Because there's always room for a fresh start.
And fresh food, for that matter.
When I'm in the mood, I think someone should take me grocery shopping.
I think I'm in need of serious store-bought goods.
You know the term 'old habits die hard'?
I think that it also serves true food-wise.
It's like when someone shoves something in my face, I'll eat it.
I want to change up the tastes, everything is all too familiar.
If I don't expand my horizons, push the boundaries, how will I ever be able to experience the world?
All I have to say is that I can't wait until next summer ..
An escape from all of this.
The food, the kitchen, the same stupid white table with the chipped edge that the maitre^d has seated me at every single day of my life.
A change, not in that of venue, nor in that of cuisine.
Rather that of plating.
You could call it epiphany, but I think that would be in exaggeration.
I have just decided to 'expand my horizons'.
In a way that won't burn my tongue, or make me tipsy (my alcohol tolerance is low).
凉粉冰 :)
Quite clever, no?
If you don't understand, I just might explain to you.
aka the FDA.
After careful consideration (and several warnings from the FDA), DV has been successfully dropped off the menu.
I know, I know. It's been superbly long, and it took a wake-up call (Oddly, that's the name of the song that was playing when I had this moment of enlightenment) for me to finally be able to let go of something that I've held onto for the longest time, even if it meant that both my restaurant and I were put in perpetual danger.
But I've decided, there are some things that are better off not dealt with.
A slight taste of Tweety Bird, but it seems that I am still not entranced by the aroma when it is served into the room..
But it's sweet, I have to say (But then again, I don't have a sweet tooth) :]
Saran Wrap has been taken away by a jealous comrade.
As the Winston Turpel of the worlds might say, LOLOLOLOLOK.
So current menu spot holders:
-PC Platter
-Happy Meal
Hah, PC can stand for both Prince Charming, Personal Computer, and Politically Correct.
If one wants reasoning for why DV was dropped, there are too, too many.
And it will most certainly take too, too long to describe them.
Plus, there's not much time in our hands as the days dwindle ..
The next catering appointment on my calendar is May 24 ;]
Sojunie/Saran-Wrap dish has officially been dropped off the menu, reasons being:
- High alcohol content
- Highly flammable (due to high alcohol content)
- Horrid aftertaste
- A little sour at times
- Superficially speaking, both the dish and the meal itself is not exactly the best looking, especially in comparison to the other dishes. It just isn't up to par.
If there are any other recommendations, or other comments&concerns, please leave them here.
They will be put into consideration.
And I quote one of our sous chefs: "Never bite off more than you can chew"
Which is probably another reason why saran-wrap became less desirable.
Too much of a slop.
In another news, a brief aroma of the Darth Vader platter drifted in the other day, leaving behind a bittersweet, musky taste in my mouth, with the comforts of home and familiarity. It's odd how something so small could create such a stir ..
Imagine if I could only get a taste again? Perhaps it is not wise to do so ..
And thus far in my "journey" towards success, or rather, just looking for a quick bite, I have found nothing.
That is pathetic.
[& wow, that really makes me sound like a pig]
Very very relatable.
Dessert is not necessary, it's just something that one would want.
Which is exactly how I feel.
Anywho, a (dessert) menu update of the following platters:
1) The DV Platter. (Slightly covered in metal)
Lovingly named after the star of Star Wars, Darth Vader, this dish consists of a sweet confectionary that has somewhatly spilled on the side. Unbeknownst beforehand, this dessert is high-in-demand, but far from reach. Let's see if I will raise my lazy bum up for this "treat". It's like one of those fads - everyone raves about how amazing it is (when it's fresh), but after the rage dies down, all it is is just another dessert. Nothing especially special. We'll call it the DV Jello platter - little specks of jello are on the side of the plate. As for the design of the plate, quite nice. I don't know, I like it. Price: High - for it is high on demand. Unfortunately, the last time that I had a 'taste' of this platter, it burned my tongue. Perhaps because I did not wait, and thusforth I only brought it upon myself to be burned, or the kitchen just let it out too early, but all in all, I shouldn't place blame on anyone else - the platter burning my tongue is all brought on by my own doings. After all, had I not ordered it, I would not have this somewhat bitter distaste towards this dish. I hate it, but I love it.
2) The PrinceCharming Platter. (Covered with Plastic)
The platter named after the Disney Character that has struck the hearts of girls all over the globe, the Prince Charming platter. One of the better looking plates - the design is classy, elegant, definitely something that people would want for their fine china collection. It's one of my favorite desserts, seeing that it's origins are of my familiarity, I grew up with it as a delicacy, only being able to eat it maybe two times, but that was enough for me to fall in love with it. Alas, it resides too far away. Price: High. Definitely in demand, pictures show it. The last time that I had a taste of this dessert was the summer of 2006, when I was still a youngin, haha. It was absolutely delicious, and the design, every little intricate detail was something that I held dear to my heart. After all, when you're apart from something for such an extensive period of time, you don't want it to lose it's value to your heart, (and your palate), right?
3) The Happy Meal Platter. (Almost-fully covered in Metal)
Prone to fast changes, due to the corporate background of this platter, it's nice looking, covered with metal as to prevent from seeing the true interior. This dish remains a mystery to me, but sooner or later I'm pretty sure that I'll get a taste of it - perhaps the mute waiter can tell me something. But this I doubt, for mute waiters do not speak. Maybe I can sign to him. What I do know from previous menus and nutritional research is that this platter is quick to change in appearance, thanks to corporate America, and shows some sort of soft interior. Yes, I have discovered only this. By unmasking (only for a brief moment), the Happy Meal Platter, I have taken a quick peek at what this happy meal really has to offer to me. Perhaps it can make me happy?
4) The Sojunie Platter (The Saran Wrap)
Hated by many, this alcohol-congested dish seems to have the worst impression out of many. The appearance, on a rating of 1 to 10 (10 being highest), perhaps a 3. The appearance is sloppy, distasteful, and at times a little hard to look at for fear of burning my eyes. (Perhaps I'm being too harsh). This dish may soon be dropped off the menu, and would have been at an earlier stage in time had it not been for the one or two sweeter moments, there were no bitter pieces to this dish. But no, I don't plan to take any more bites of this sample dish, for it doesn't seem to offer to me what I really want in a dessert. Hm.
5) ? The mystery dish, still being cooked inside of the kitchen, of course.
Its identity, appearance, everything is masked to me.
And no, it will not be the dish Spammy introduced and asked of me to put on the menu.
No thank you, Spammy. I don't go for undercooked dishes.
Especially since it's dessert.
