Before and After: 99 Restaurant Edition
This is Sadie in her Florida shirt before we went to the 99 Restaurant near work, then afterward, showing what those modern stain removers are up against.
We all highly recommend the mango iced tea. It’s almost more of a mango juice pretending that maybe it was spiked with a little tea, in a huge glass. Sadie went crazy for it. We’d forgotten her sippy cup, so when we got ours, I gave her a taste dropper-style out of the bottom of my straw. That became my job, a steady stream of sips, until we asked for and got not only a little glass for her, but also one full of complementary mango tea.
Trouble is, she forgot how to drink out of a straw, and had the notion the straw had to be used dropper style, but without knowing to put her finger over the end. Before the meal was over, she figured out she could lift the glass and just drink out of the straw hole, which was perfect for both getting plenty and not spilling it to speak of.
That’s part of what’s on the shirt, along with bleu cheese dressing, sour cream, marinara for dipping these yummy baked cheese sticks that came with her meal, sweet and sour sauce for dipping her chicken fingers, and ketchup for her fries.
I got the new pulled pork sandwich, which was quite tasty, if a little drier than I expected. Deb got the new roast beef cheddar dip, which was absolutely amazing. We also order a sampler appetizer, which was part of our toddler management. She was fantastic, which is amazing considering her moods lately, but it also helps to make it easier for them to succeed. So we went when her mood was good, at a good time for the restaurant, to a kid friendly place, got good seating, and kept her occupied and not bored. It helps that even at her worst there are circumstances in which she seems to have an inherent sense of propriety. So being messy was the worst of it. Valerie was an angel too, and people were smitten with them.
I love the 99. Though its now owned by O’Charlies thats all over the place around here.
I love mango.. Peach Mango smoothies are the best.. Mango Iced tea sounds grand. I might have to try and make some or something..Posted by Wayne on 06/23 at 01:31 PM
