I think it would have been perfectly acceptable to have ordered the beef (which incidentally is my favourite too, so I know why you would have been hankering for it!). It would have been ok I think especially since you were eating at a restaurant and not cooking this meal. This way, you are not suggesting that this is how you expect your home/kitchen to be run, but that you "occassionally" enjoy some vice or another as a treat. I think you're entitled and I don't think (if you asked her honestly) she'd mind that you choose to eat red meat....I don't like steak or roast beef, so my husband enjoys those dishes when we eat out on occassion.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446435491941733971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890885.post-1117171547193077602005-05-27T01:25:00.000-04:002005-05-27T01:25:00.000-04:00I actually had fun writing this entry because it r...I actually had fun writing this entry because it reflected some of my inner thoughts and reactions to the night's activities.<BR/><BR/>In the end, I ordered the orange chicken which didn't taste as good as the beef would have. I just didn't want to risk grossing her out. <BR/><BR/>My rabbi also thought my ideas about the umbrella and cohabitation were equally funny. With a smile, he told me that I misunderstood the law and applied it to something that nothing to do with the seclusion rule. My mistake. I thought the picture above accurately reflected how we probably looked. I got soaked!Zoe Strickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940789852735669214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890885.post-1117146940837253372005-05-26T18:35:00.000-04:002005-05-26T18:35:00.000-04:00I'm confused. Did you eat the beef or not? And how...I'm confused. Did you eat the beef or not? And how you associated sharing an umbrella as cohabitation is beyond me. However, the image you described made me laugh. I wish I could have seen you walking in the rain, developing your biceps and getting wet! And wearing a maroon sweater! So, will you try sky blue next?Daphnewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031895782046396168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890885.post-1117138633897939562005-05-26T16:17:00.000-04:002005-05-26T16:17:00.000-04:00I don't understand.

Unless you're a tzaddik of great magnitude, you will not be happy living the rest of your life denying yourself your favorite foods. And you don't even know that's what she wanted; you're guessing too much (although that's a symptom of a good sign, I guess).<BR/><BR/>JMOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
