The steak sandwich is by far the Micro Manager's favorite dinner. In the last 10 years she's had very few steak sandwich's and most were poor. 10 or 15 years ago the suppliers started supplying a different cut of meat for steak sandwiches and it wasn't the same. The MM had only a half dozen steak sandwiches in the last 15 years.
A few months ago a friend told her that there were excellent steak sandwiches at Leah's bar and grill. The MM just had to go. She went. I wouldn't go with her. Yes, the steak sandwich was wonderful. However, she didn't want to go back on her own.
So the other day she said, "Since it's my birthday this month would you go to Leah's with me." I 'd be a heal if I didn't go for her birthday.
So a few days ago we went to Leah's .
Shortly after we got our meal , the waitress came and told us that someone at the bar had paid for our food! What a surprise! Of course, everybody is sworn to secrecy so we didn't know who it was. That's the first time I was ever treated to a free meal!
So I guess it was a good thing that I went with the MM for her steak sandwich.
I'm so pleased the MM had a delicious sandwich and when it's free that's even better.
ReplyDeleteShe enjoyed every mouthful.
DeleteWow! Stunning! So kind. You deserve it. Maybe they know your blog. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was a lot of luck.
DeleteYou Canadians are the nicest people around. That was why we always loved going to Canada when we lived in Chicago. I love that you both got treated to a meal on MM's birthday month.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasant surprise. Maybe I won't be so grumpy for a while.
DeleteWhat a lucky chap you are!
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Total luck.
DeleteI am glad you found an excellent steak sandwich. The free meal sounds very nice! Take care, happy Sunday! Have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThe free meal certainly livened things up in a hurry.
DeleteThat was such a kind thing that someone paid for your meal! That made the steak sandwich and the time out together extra special!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly livened up the conversation and made things taste better.
DeleteThat’s wonderful! Happy Birthday to your dear Micro Manager!
ReplyDeleteI was taken out for a steak sandwich for my birthday yesterday by my daughter and grandson and had a very different outcome. On my first bite, my partial permanent denture fell out. This is the second time this has happened. So on my real Birthday next week I will be going to the dentist to see if he can glue it back in. The steak was lovely but very hard to eat without those two fake teeth. I had not had a steak sandwich for over thirty years so now I will remember this one. Gigi
ReplyDeleteThat's unfortunate to lose a tooth. I don't eat steak but I really like fish and chips.
DeleteI'm glad you two got to enjoy a steak sandwich together. I wonder why she finds it so hard to find a good steak sandwich. Does she ever try making her own?
ReplyDeletethe Micro Manager needs to retire from cooking. You have to know the exact cut of meat needed for a good steak sandwich.
DeleteThat was nice, but did you like the sandwich?
ReplyDeleteThe sandwich was great. I had fish and chips.
DeleteYou are right. You would have been a heel if you didn't take the MM out for steak sandwiches for her birthday. You both wound up being getting a special treat! Happy birthday to MM. Glad her sandwich was MMMMMMMMM!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt made our day.
DeleteWow, what a treat! A free sandwich! See, karma took care of you. :)
ReplyDeleteYes it was a good treat.
DeleteAwesome! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThings went better than we thought.
DeleteYou both were rewarded for her persistance.
ReplyDeleteYes, but I wouldn't admit it.
DeleteRed, what a leap! From dementia concerns to free steak sandwiches! 😊 Gotta love it. Congrats and happy birthday to the Micro Manager! John
ReplyDeleteI just keep bouncing off the wall. I'm the same with music and books. I have a wide interest. Same with people.
DeleteI’ve bought several meals for others over the years but usually for service members still in their military uniforms.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for treating people.
DeleteGee whillickers! I'd be going to that place more often, if I was you.
ReplyDeleteWell the one who likes steak sandwich will likely go.
DeleteGood things come to him who orders a steak sandwich!
ReplyDeleteBut I had fish and chips.
DeleteWhat a nice surprise, and a steak sandwich, too.
ReplyDelete
DeleteI would think our eyes popped open on that one.
That happened to us a few years ago, what a nice surprise! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've heard of these things but this was a first for me.
Deletehappy birthday to your lovely wife dear Red!
ReplyDeletethis is amazing you can remember the number of sandwiches in fifteen years wow ,sounds impressive to me .
great that MM found her favorite sandwich and you accompanied her next day ,it was sweet of you indeed :)
what a reward to have free meal because someone paid on your behalf ,how sweet of them WOW!
Well , I don't remember the number. It's a gut feeling. The two places we went to before both closed.
DeleteWho DID pay for the meal? Perhaps it was Jean's secret boyfriend Pierre - the French-Canadian lumberjack.
ReplyDeleteNo one was telling. However, here, it's oil people!
DeleteReally your lucky day!
