WIAW: Disappointing Lunch

Today’s WIAW features some eats from last week. The day started with my usual egg whites, oats, flaxseed and brewers yeast bowl. Especially since being sick, I’m trying to have this and any foods to up my milk supply.

And a pear. Because they are so good! 20170217_090741

My midmorning snack was some nuts.

For lunch, we had plans as an office to go out for Cleveland Restaurant Week, where you get 3 course meals for a special price. We had plans to go to The District. The meal started out okay – I started with a Greek salad and a pretty delicious (unpictured) roll.

It went downhill from there. We waited nearly an hour, and our food hadn’t come out. We eventually had to ask for our food to be boxed up to go, because we all had to return to the office for meetings, etc. But they hadn’t made our food yet! They eventually brought our lunches out – minus the third course 😦 so no dessert for me.

When I got back to the office, I was looking forward to my chicken and hummus wrap. I ate about half of it and then nearly choked – there was A BONE IN MY WRAP. I opened up the sandwich and found several small pieces of bone inside. Blah. Lunch FAIL.

After that, I was happy to meet B for a beer after work. We grabbed beers in Tremont before getting Vietnamese food for dinner.

B and I ordered our go-tos when we want something semi-light and healthy. Cabbage salads and spring rolls!20170217_194525

And since I didn’t have dessert for lunch (not that that would’ve stopped me), I had some chocolate, cookies and ice cream! I had some Hershey kisses, Thin Mints and mint chip Halo Top.

YUM! A great end to a not-the-best food day. Questions for you for this WIAW (hosted by Sprint 2 the Table!):

  • Have you ever had a really bad lunch experience?
  • Halo Top fans-  what’s your favorite Halo Top flavor?

    I haven’t had a ton of flavors yet but I’m loving the cake batter one. So good!
    I had a bad lunch experience at Dougan’s in Aurora. They took FOREVER and they were so rude and my burger wasn’t even cooked!

      Cake batter is my favorite! I also am liking the strawberry and lemon flavor is. They are having a sale at Heinen’s downtown right now on them, I may need to stock up! Did you end up doing anything about your bad lunch experience? Like tell the manager? I never did

    I hope you called that restaurant back! That is ridiculous. At least you had a good dinner and dessert. Thin Mints and in rotation over here too!

      I actually never called the restaurant. I didn’t really know what to say, I didn’t want a free meal or anything. It was just an awful experience and no one there was able to hear about it.

    Ugh!! That’s so frustrating!! I know you “can’t win ’em all” but it REALLY sucks when something like this happens. I sure hope that beer and chocolates helped remedy the day.

      I know! I get so disappointed when I don’t have a good food experience

    Oh man, what a disaster!!! Such a bummer about lunch. (And omg a bone in your food is like a nightmare!) At least it sounds like you had a yummy dinner!

      It was definitely a nightmare. I couldn’t believe the bone in my sandwich after all of that?
