Yay for dinner plans, omnis.
Is there any way to convince my mom that my vacation will not be ruined if I eat a salad? We keep having this same conversation. She asks me what I can eat at some restaurant. I reply, "Oh, they've got a really good salad." (And they do -- spinach with candied walnuts and onions and tomatoes and lots of other good stuff.) And she replies, "No, I want you to enjoy your vacation."
Honestly? As long as food that I do not have to pay for or clean up after appears in front of me, I will be happy.
Oh, Hil's mom. Salads are enjoyable summertime fare! I wish one of the restaurants in walking distance would reliably serve a good salad.
I'm not a big salad eater -- but that sounds good to me

I think that she thinks of salads as diet food, and therefore impossible to enjoy. I'm pretty sure that she won't think I'm happy until she sees me eating something deep-fried.
Ask the restaurant if they can deep-fry some of the spinach.
Oddly, a vaction where I eat healthy and very tasty -- adds to the experience. Granted sweet potato fries are always good
Go, omnis! You have obviously made a very good impression on GGG, as it should be.
Ask the restaurant if they can deep-fry some of the spinach.
Spinach isn't a food that happy people eat! Neither is, well, pretty much anything that I eat other than sweets and potato chips and fries, according to her.
Hmm. I wonder if "it fills me up and gives me energy to go swimming and kayaking and play frisbee and fly a kite, which does make me happy" will convince her of anything.
What does she think you eat that make salad so odd and unusual?
Well, whenever I go to visit, she stocks up on fake meats and soy cheese.
