Waiter There is a Fly in my Soup
As you know by now, I usually don't post a recipe on Saturdays.
Today I want to talk to you about a touchy subject.
While dining in a restaurant, have you ever found a stray hair or a bug in your food?
I have.
Even in the cleanest, nicest places it can happen.
I ate at a hip trendy restaurant in Charleston, S.C. and I found a centipede crawling over my salad.
When I mentioned it to the server, she said "sorry, we use organic lettuces, would you like another salad?".
I decided to try my luck and eat the centipede one. They removed the creepy crawler from the plate, and I dug in.
I am still alive to tell the story.
Well, I have long, thick brown hair.
I am very careful when I cook, and tie it back in a bun or barette, but every once in a while that stray hair gets in the food.
I know it's disgusting, but what should I do? Wear a hair net?
I debated about showing this photo. I will not mention the name of the bakery, but this was taken with my friend's cell phone while passing this popular establishment on Saturday night.

Willard & his pet Ben just can't resist cupcakes!
Yuck.

I try to be careful when I cook, too, since I have waist length hair that the shower drain adores. It needn't make an appearance in family meals!
Have a great weekend!
I am less tolerant of hair because, as far as I know, hair doesn't grow or live in the forest! :)
I know one thing for sure, I don't think I'd buy any of their cupcakes!

Many times I've seen live bugs of various types inside the bag and yes, they sometimes reach the guests' plate.
