What Not To Do

The other day I had a friend over for lunch. I was so thrilled to be hostessing! :) Haven't done that in a while. We had decided to Panera Bread style it! Soup and Salad. I was sampling a new Chicken Noodle Soup. The Salad of course had the works---lettuce, carrots, olives, pepper, raisins, onion, celery, tomatoe, and a bit of dressing. As I was preparing, my hand hit the side of the Frig. I knocked off a paper from the side, picked it up, placed it back on the Frig, and went on with my Salad-making. I thought nothing more about it.

Lunch was ready when my friend walked in the door! I was so excited. She complimented on the sights and smells of the food. I was thrilled! I had made a good first impression.

We sat down to eat our salads. She commented on how tasty it was--perfect with both sweet, salty, and crunchy. Suddenly, as she bit down into yet another bite, she exclaimed, "What is that!"

From out of her mouth came this round-looking thing---similar to the olives, but bigger and harder. I realized that it was the magnet from the Frig. I was devastated and apologized profusely as I threw it in the trash!

Lucky for us both, it wasn't a first meeting. We laughed it off, and went on with our soup and salad lunch!

I learned a great lesson that day! Always check your food before dishing up!
