Evergreen Buffet

At lunch today Donna showed up at my desk and announced, “I don’t want my Veggie Pasta.” When I asked what she wanted she told me Chinese. The veggie pasta was leftover from Sunday dinner and she had some for lunch yesterday and just couldn’t face it again. I had six dollars in my wallet and there was forty cents laying around on my desk, so we were good to go, figuring that would be plenty to get a take-out plate from the Evergreen Buffet just down the street.

At first the plan was to get her a plate and then return to work where I would heat up my frozen dinner, but the take out thing was big enough to fill with enough food for the two of us. I guess I’ll be having my Lean Cuisine Salmon with Basil for the evening meal.

The price for a take-out plate was listed as $6.25, so I figured with tax I’d have to use the debit card. When the lady rung us up the total was six and a quarter, tax was included in the price, so I’ve still got 15¢ to my name.
