So I ate dinner at Applebees tonight. Why you ask, if I'm trying to write seriously about food would i 1. eat at applebees 2. Admit to it ? Well I was having a bit of a mopey day, and was talking to Marsha about where to have dinner. We both have a soft spot for chain restaurants (I'm from long island, I make no apologies)and the mediocre food at chain restaurants is always comforting. Another factor I think is that the Applebees is a ten minute walk from my house and I barely wanted to leave my apartment today.
So the food: Well, um, we started with a trio of appetizers, spinach dip, boneless chicken wings, and steak quesidillas. They came to our table, looking less fabulous than they did in the pictures in the menu. Everything was fine, I mean at a place like Applebees its really about expections, and for the three of us, they were pretty low. For dinner I had a quesidilla burger, which is a quesidilla with a burger inside with something called Mexi-Ranch sauce. It was astoundingly medicore, and i had expected nothing less. Nadine had a steak and some broccoli which looked fine. The dressing on Marsha's grilled shrimp and spinach salad was a bit too sweet. I must say the service at Applebees was great. Now I understand that our waitress had to undergo some sort of Clockwork Orangesque training session, but after the apathetic french waiter from Les Halles, our waitress was considerate and attentive.
We passed on dessert, which is unfortunate because the applebees on fulton has red velvet cake from the cake man in fort greene. I was slightly upset about this until i realized that the acutal raven cake man store is literally 4 mintues from my house. For those of you who don't know about the raven cake man, he started baking cakes in harlem in the 90s and has been in brooklyn for at least four. The red velvet cake here is fantastic. I can understand people being skeptical because I am an Indian girl from the north, but my southern friends agree, and they're from the south so they should know. What is the point of this post, um okay, lessons learned, the service at applebees, better than Les halles
the red velvet cake at the cake man is awesome
applebees is mediocre.
I'll be posting something about gin over the weekend, there was an interesting article in the Washington Post.

My roommate and I went to Cafe Uno tonight. It wasn't ironic, I just wanted to eat pizza and drink a Mango Lemonade.
The worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passedWhen I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
My mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society. However, my father does interact with the community. I know his friends are mature and dignified africa america. So he has a better understanding than her.My father came call me on a sadfull day sitting on my couch about a friend of his from africa who introduce him to Dr Itua herbal cure in africa in which he advise we should purchase his herbal medicine to cure my hiv so we did and Dr Itua prescribed I should drink the herbal medicine for two weeks to cure although we were so curious about the whole thing ,I finished the herbal medicine like he advised then he talked to me to visit my nearest clinic for check up I did and now I'm totally cured from Hiv my father was my rock and I and my family are now happy together also Dr Itua has be helpful in my community ever since he cure my Hiv so why I'm leaving my story on here today is to reach out someone out here to hope on God and never give up no matter the situation you that you are facing especially through this pandemic seasons which has really taught us all on how we should be helpful to each other and cherish one another.Dr Itua cures the following diseases.....
