Joanna looked back to the new arrivals to see if they were ready to order.�
�
Audra decided to jump in and order first. "I will have a grilled chicken salad with oil and vinegar and a glass of water."�
�
Geb studied the waitress for a moment. She seemed to fit right into the "Texas longhorn" feel of the restaurant. She was dressed in jeans, a shirt and a bolo tie that went perfectly with her cowboy boots and hat. It was a little bizarre seeing her in the outfit, though, since she was an Andorian. �Her little, blue antennae snuck through small holes cut in the brim of the hat.�
�
"I will have a rack of ribs, diced potatoes, and a beer. Draft, please," he ordered before looking over to Joanna.�
�
Joanna smiled as she watched Geb looking at the waitress. It was an odd combination, but she had gotten used to those sorts of blends of race and culture a long time ago. When growing up on a starship, there was so much exposure to cultural exchange.�
�
Now that it was her turn to order, Joanna added, " I would like an Alice Springs Chicken with a backed potatoe and an iced tea. Could I have a sprig of mint with the iced tea?"�
�
The waitress nodded her antenae. "I think they can handle that," she replied. "Can I get you folks an appetizer or anything else while you are waiting?"
