How would you feel if...

lyndausvi

after you ordered your meal someone at your table told the chef (who was taking the order, because she does not like the servers) that YOU are not allowed certain ingredients because she is allergic?

 I'm not talking about peanuts or shellfish either.

I'd smack her and then I'd say to the chef, if you could just...please make my meal as requested, that'd be greeeeeaaattt. (in my best office space voice)

AmoroAgain

I'd tell her she's psycho and to stfu.

I was wondering how the dinner went.  Obviously, not well.

crfische

What is she allergic to?

lyndausvi

Julez--- It was really funny. 

Everyone at the table ordered hot foods, I ordered sushi. She tells the chef that she is allergic to avocdos and there can not be any avocado on the the table.    I just started reasearching and I have yet to find where smelling avocado causes an attack.  

For the recored the sushi and hot foods come from completely different lines (actually in different rooms).  The sushi chef delivers the food directly to me and the other chef delveried the other food, so there is no way for cross-contamination.


Highlights of the evening:

She has gone through 5 cooks on the last 6 months.

She is so wacky her son moved out of his parents Park Ave condo with his own bedroom suite, cook and maid to move into a one-bedroom dump.

She makes the maid scrub the son's old bathroom EVERYDAY even though no one has used in it 6 months.  Once a week for  dust, I get.  Everyday, full scrub.  Overkill.

When I inquired about her nephews Bar Mitzvah next month she says  "It's at the Short Hills Hilton".... then she leans over and in a soft voice says "It's a decent place".   Umm.. okay...

They *think* their daughter is getting engaged soon.  He comes from modest means and I'm not sure she likes that too much.  (I met the guy, really nice and I think he fits in well with the rest of the family).

She must sit around other people on the beach so she can eavesdrop and jump into peoples conversations (she told me as much).

There is so  much more.  I was actually laughing at her and shaking my head.  I never met someone like her IRL..

(the husband and the rest of the family all make fun of her also)

AmoroAgain

Yeah, no.

lyndausvi

btw - DH had to go in this morning only to fix up their boxed food for the plane.  She is so damm picky, only DH is allowed to make the food.  And to be honest, he is the only one who actually remembers all of her 'food restrictions'.  Which change year to year. 

I think she really has nothing to do, that she makes up food restrictions.  Oh and of course she weighs 80 lbs soaking wet, but claims she is fat.

AmoroAgain

Can't he just say no?  Or have someone else do it?  She'll never know.

julezlee

Wow. 

lyndausvi

oh, she knows.   Trust me she knows.

Notice I said the boxed lunch is for the PLANE.  Only 50 weeks until they return.  

Except she wants to come in May for their anniversary.  I think we might be away that weekend...

AmoroAgain

hahaha... that's insane Lynda.  I don't think I could deal with that.

lyndausvi

I also think DH wanted to go in so he can put them in the taxi and close the door himself. 

Mrs.B6302007

Oh, Lord.

I would have ordered guacamole and rearranged my seat to sit right next to her.

What a frickin drama queen.

banana468

I think Mrs.B and I would have to talk up our mutual love of guacamole at the table.

It's so good for you! 

mocha beans

Whoa, she sounds like a delight.  Am I missing some backstory on her?

baby green bird

well that's just plain weird behavior.

sarabellam

Yeah, I'd tell her that if her food allergies are that bad, she needs to eat in her room.

aMrsin09

Wow.

I somehow missed this gem of a guest story.  Cliff notes?

lyndausvi

backstory is  that this family of 12 comes every xmas-ny for the last 4 years.

Grandpa/Grandma (who pay), 2 sons, their wifes and kids. One DIL is a wack job  (very snobby).  The whole family makes fun of her. 

 The first year they HATED our resort.  Lord knows why they returned.. The 2nd year they met DH.  DH sucks up to them because he hates bad reviews.

3rd year, DH just takes care of them.  He being from NY 'understands' them.   (funny though DH is not Jewish and these guests somehow think he is at first because he 'gets' them.)

Year 4.. DH volunteers to be their 'angel'.  4 years ago every dinner is eaten off property.. this year EVERY SINGLE meal is eaten on property for 13 days/nights.  Breakfast, lunch, dinner.  They LOVE DH.

So last night was the last night for the last 2  (son and DIL).  DH decides we will have dinner with them.   It was entertaining to say the least.  Dh and I are so good at making them feel comforatable, they are coming back in 50 weeks. 

behind their back, they our source of entertainment.
