seinfeld moments

i was telling my mom about something that i thought was a serious problem and she responded by laughing and telling me "this is blog material-so seinfeld!" i paused and wondered if she was right. maybe this thing i saw as a big dilemma could be chalked up to nothing more than a silly situation. or maybe not. see, here is the thing, since 2007, i have been going to one of the finest-no-THE finest thai food restaurant in the entire world. you will probably balk at this statement and say to yourself, "no way, so and so is better" but i promise you that if you were to try this place, you would agree with me. i have taken friends to this place, and all of them are return patrons, and it was the first place dj and i went on our first alone date. he loved it and it became our place. we dream about it, drool over it, talk about it with starry eyes. it is a treat for us to eat there, and we make it a point to stop in san marcos every month or so for some pad thai with chicken, house salad with peanut dressing, and beef with spicy noodles. the people who work there recognize our faces now and the last several times we went, they gave us dessert on the house, or extra andies mints with our check, and stopped by our table for frequent chatter. they LOVED us.

and then it happened.

i  wanted to order something i had never had before so i asked for the red curry dish. big mistake. yes it was still very good, but it just wasn't pad thai with chicken spicy number 7, and it wasn't that satisfying. so i took a few bites for good measure and then told dj, "i can't eat it, what do i do?" he suggested letting the server know and see if they could take it back and bring me what i always order instead. i asked so nicely. i apologized profusely, i complimented them and thanked them. but it was to no avail. no longer did they linger for conversation. no free dessert. not even an andies mint graced our check. we didn't even get our usual warm goodbye. i hope it's not beyond repair. this is a relationship we must restore. soon.
