So guess what I'm making! Yup! Its so easy, meat, eggs, ground pork rinds, little low-sugar ketchup, spices, and bacon!
Well, so I'm looking forward to that now but I'm still ticked off about this weekend. Get ready for my vent!
We went out with friends to celebrate one of their birthdays and we told her very clearly that we would be happy going ANYWHERE she wanted. She, of course, made a huge deal in front of everyone about how we should choose because we're on a special diet. Finally, after making this huge deal and having us tell her over and over again that we can eat anywhere she agreed and we went to her favorite place, a mexican restaurant. They have steak and shrimp so we were happy. However, when the waiter asked us all if we wanted guacamole with our chips she again made loud points about how we can't have guacamole because of our special diet and so they can't have any.
Again, after reminding her politely that it was her birthday and she could have anything she wanted, and we just wouldn't be having the chips she decided against them. Then came dinner and ours were fabulous! The grilled shrimp came with drawn butter, the steaks were grilled with veggies to perfection and all were happy.....until our friend again decided it was time to make a fuss. We were talking about getting older and seeing doctors and she said "you know, you're doctor is going to be upset when he see's your cholesterol. I mean you're eating nothing but butter and steak and eggs!" Now, she's done the Atkins diet so you'd think she'd know better, but we still spent a good 30 minutes arguing about how the cholesterol doesn't go up (in fact I just had mine tested and it was great), and how we don't eat just steak and butter and eggs and we eat tons of veggies, chicken, and fish too, but she kept on going and going and going about how when SHE was on it her cholesterol went up and her doctor threw a hissy.
Finally I told her, "You know what? Every body is different, perhaps your body can't process fat and cholesteral like others and so the diet wasn't good for you but that doesn't mean it isn't good for us!"
I am SOOOOOO sick of her constant attempt to embarrass us, make us the villian of every gathering...I mean, she even brought up the dinner we had several weeks ago when they all wanted to go to a Japanese place and we knew there was nothing there for us unless we spent $100 on sashimi and so we went to a very nice grill right down the street and I ended up sending my steak back for them to bring me out one that was actually medium rare instead of well done. She went NUTS! I don't apologize for it...if they want to serve frozen steaks instead of fresh steaks they should at least cook them to order. A well done frozen steak might as well be hamburger meat. Am I right? But now she refers to that night A LOT as "the night Jacqui sent back the steak"
This woman...not my friend but my partner's friend...is on my LAST nerve. If it weren't for the fact that she works with my partner and could help her get a leg up in the office I'd have told her to take a hike years ago. I will be so glad when we move and I don't ever have to see this woman again!
I'm just waiting for her to give me an excuse to blow my gasket and rip her a new one! Just give me a reason to storm out on her and refuse to ever spend any time with her again. ARG!!!!!!!
