Tonight, the Food was Great

Well tonight I broke down. I wanted something besides hospital food. With Shirlayne's permission, I ran (literally) to an upscale mall called the Palladium (about 0.6 miles away). Google said 13 mins, I think I beat that.  Once there, I went through the metal detectors, yes metal detectors to get into the mall. I know, what do they think this is, a Jazz game. Anyway, I was going to snap a picture tp prove it, but the security guard did not think that was a good idea. I moved on (quickly). Once inside, I could then choose from any of my favorite fast food restaurants (except Panda Express, bummer). Interestingly though, as you walk by each of these places the employees call out to you, trying to get you to come to their place. A little like those really annoying guys at carnival games or Lagoon, who you try not to make eye-contact with. It was pretty easy for me to ignore them, I had no idea what they were saying. Although a did hear the sound "burger" mixed in with a whole bunch of other words, once in a while. I decided on Burger King, because I wanted it "my way", and ordered a Whopper combo, large size (no they don't have super), with ice. I know your not supposed to drink the water (Shirlayne says that means ice as well), but I was living on the edge tonight. Lucky for me, the kid I talked to knew his numbers in English, or me holding up four fingers, not sure which. Also, a big shout-out to whoever it was that came up with the idea to number each of the combo meals.That helped immensely  Well, I paid for it, hoped the kid was honest with my change, and waited until it arrived. It tasted great, although I quickly found out my stomach is no longer as big, now, as when I left. I couldn't even finish it. Oh well, probably, for the best. Shirlayne put in a request in for a chicken sandwich before I left, so after I finished eating, I grabbed her a grilled chicken sandwich, and jogged back to the hospital. Shirlayne enjoyed her sandwich even though I "forgot" to ask for reduced sauce. How would I ask anyway? How many fingers do you hold up for that? I don't really know how much money that just cost, but whatever it was, it was worth it.


My #4 combo - large size (with ice)
I can't read the menu but I luckily I didn't need to. 


It would probably be really silly
 to call it Turkey Fried Chicken.
We don't have these in Utah
but, had them before and it is good.
If you look close you got an Arby's.
A Beef and Cheddar also looked good.



And of course the Colonel is there
still smiling.
