I went to the strangest dinner yesterday

I went out with my boss for her birthday with her group of friends. It was fun, but I have never been to such an odd dinner.

One of the women is fasting. She was on like day 8 of a 10 day fast. She's only been drinking water with lemon, honey and cayanne pepper. I could NEVER do that, but if I did I sure as heck couldn't sit around a table with everyone eating while I drank my water.

Her girlfriend doesn't eat a lot of additives so she ordered shrimp and asparagus cooked in a skillet with light olive oil and NOTHING else on it. No butter, no salt, no nothing.

Then one of the other women that was with us was on the phone for a good 45 minutes. One of the other girls ordered for her and she ate and even "toasted" with us while in a full conversation with a client.

All the girls are friends with each other except for me and my boss's assistant that were there so I think they're use to each other's quirks, but it was so strange to me!

Re: I went to the strangest dinner yesterday

  • Isn't it so interesting? People are so different, for sure.

    Does sound like a few strange "habits" but to each his own, I suppose.

  • I lasted 4 days on that fast and I was beyond miserable!  I can't believe she made it that long and that she was tempted at a restaurant--I would've had to stay home!

    Yeah this is me!! If I had to do one more day of watered down juices I would have killed someone. Even now that I'm doing the protein shake thing and am having fun with it I'm avoiding all social eating activities. I almost started sobbing when we stopped at a warm pretzel kiosk today so I could get a bottle of water. The smell was amazing!!

    Oh, I'm totally fine with everyone doing their own thing, but I wouldn't go to a restaurant and then drink lemon water. I also wouldn't go to a restaurant and order shrimp cooked in nothing. Just eat at home.

    I also wouldn't spend 45 minutes on the phone while at dinner with friends. Just don't go out if you have an important call.

    I think it was all of the oddness together that really made me go hmmmm....

  • Sounds like you were in the middle of a tv sitcom. Ha. How funny-weird.

    This is what I was thinking. The phone call through the meal would have put me over the edge. I'm with you kare, just take it otside if itms that important.
