Sunday Nite Dinner

Went to dinner tonite with our friends, Joe and David. They are a partnered, gay couple also and they've been together almost as long as Jose and I. We tried a new restaurant, Rockin' Baja Lobster. I think Jose and I ate at one in San Diego years ago, not sure. Before you go there, plan to set aside about 3 hours because it will take at least 1 hour to get a table and 2 more hours to get thru the meal. The food was pretty decent, but the salad bar was pathetic. Lettuce with some cheese thrown in and salad dressing. That's it!! There were several salsa's, but never did see the tortilla chips. The honey chile butter that goes on the warm tortillas was delicious. I had a unique margarita, with mint leaves and Triple Sec. It was way too minty and I find that when you order mixed drinks at a restaurant/bar, they usually don't put much alcohol in. I didn't even catch a buzz. Joe ordered one also and he didn't care for it either. The Tequila Lime shrimp appetizer was drenched in a butter/garlic/lime sauce to DIE FOR and the shrimp were succulent. I ordered the Burrito Del Mar....didn't care for the sauce slathered all over it and it lacked shrimp and lobster, which was supposed to come in it. It was all tortilla, cheese, and sauce. Not very good. Everyone else ordered buckets with crab legs (heavenly), shrimp, chicken, etc....Mostly, the food was good. Service.....SUCKED!! It literally took a good hour to get our food and about 30 mins for the appetizer to arrive. Our waitress had a large table and mostly ignored us the whole night. Needless to say, I barely left her a tip. Maybe she hated gay people too. Everyone was making excuses for her, but the one thing that pisses me off is getting poor service and I make it known when tip time rolls around. Good service can make a bad meal tolerable, but bad service along with bad food (or good) makes for a miserable time. I got to wear my Madonna pole dancer concert T-shirt for the first time tonite....I think it looks awesome. Maybe tomorrow I will tell you about the Madonna concert we went to in Phoenix in June. I didn't buy the T-shirt there (prices were astronomical), but I bought it on Fanfire when I got home for a lot less(it was still $50, including shipping). Kind of a thin T-shirt, but the design is cool. Jose said people were looking at us all nite in the restaurant, I guess because we are gay. Our friend David is a little on the flamboyant side and he talks loudly....it does draw attention, but it doesn't bother me. Fuck people if they have a problem with us being gay, I don't give a shit anymore. All my life I've worried what other people think and yet, in some small way, it still does bother me when people stare or keep putting attention on us. That rarely happens with just Jose and I....we are very low-key gay men and not feminine at all. I'm kind of glad David is a little feminine.....maybe it will help us get over caring what other people think. Why can't people just live and let live? People always have to put their shit on other people....just go about your own pitiful lives and mind your own fucking business! Geez! Have you noticed how fat people are becoming? There is definitely an obesity epidemic in this country and many of them were at the Baja Lobster tonite! That is a topic for another night though, as I have a lot I can say about that subject. So, my next two future topics: Madonna's concert and obesity!
