Yeah. But before you go off on how Evil McDoonald's is, let me
point out they're one of the few places I can get decent
portions. In higher class places if you want a hamburger you
get a 6 to 8 ouncer for corresponding prices. I'm not into
eating that much. I go for the fast food where 1/4 is still
considered a good size.
You should really look at the offerings at Carl's Jr.
Mmmm. Six Dollar Burger...
A Six Dollar Burger is precisely what I do NOT want!!!!! I do NOT
want lumberjack-sized portions at lumberjack prices!!!! I am
getting sick to death of finding that the only option on the menu
unless I can somehow pass myself off as being under 10 years old -
and then enduring the starch & fried stuff offered the kiddies. "We
have macaroni and cheese - and for our vegetable, we have CORN!!!"
"Senior plates" are roughly 3/4 the size at 4/5 the price. That's
an improvement. Somewhat of an improvement.
I want one-ounce cookies, 2-4 ounce hamburgers, plates with actual
vegetables on them (and NOT boiled to death with grease in them)
and portions no larger than what grown adults who did manual labor
used to eat 50-60 years ago. I want a one-egg breakfast burrito and
a 2-egg omelet. I want French toast, not French "Texas Toast." I
want pancakes the size you get on a side order, not pancakes that
cover an entire modern dinner plate. I want potatoes the size of a
stapler, not the size of a football. I want 8-ounce cups of coffee
to be available and drinking glasses at the dinner table to hold 8
ounces of milk comfortably, not to demand 16 ounces.
I am a little old lady, dammit, not a 7-foot 300 pound football
player!!!!
Thanks. I guess I forgot the smiley faces on my post.
Dave
