After the movie, they were hungy. They went for a meal at an Indian restaurant. They each ordered a curry and a piece of naan bread.
After a few minutes, the server brought the curry. But he did not bring any cutlery, like spoons.
They thought that, because it was an authentic Indian restaurant, they were supposed to eat with their hands. So, they began eating.
The server noticed this and apologized. He quickly brought them spoons. They realized their mistake and felt embarrassed. They all laughed. And they began to eat with the spoons.
On special occasions, such as anniversaries or birthdays, my family and I always celebrate together.
I always want to find a nice place and surprise my family with something special. So, I always read the reviews of popular restaurants on the Internet.
This year, for Mother’s Day, I found a highly-rated restaurant. The review said, “the atmosphere was nice, the food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable.”
When we went there, it was the exact opposite. It was overpriced, the food was just average, and the service was terrible. What a disappointment that was!
Every year, there is a new fad diet, and everyone talks about it.
For example, the ‘banana diet’ became popular a few years ago. At that time, all the bananas in the supermarkets were sold out. No matter where I went, I couldn’t get bananas.
Last week, I saw a story on TV about a new coconut oil diet trend. I really like coconut oil. But now, sure enough, I can’t get coconut oil anywhere.
I wonder what’s going to be next. The yogurt diet? The apple diet? The cabbage diet? Who knows?
The other day, I was making curry. I wanted to make it spicier, so I added some pepper. It was stuck, so I shook the container several times.
Suddenly, it came out and went in my nose. I sneezed once. And I couldn’t stop sneezing.
Then, tears came to my eyes. I used almost a whole box of tissues.
I had to stop cooking until I could recover. I turned off the gas and took a break, but I kept sneezing. It took a while to make my dinner that night.
I was cooking some stew for dinner. I was also heating up some side dishes in the microwave.
I set the table for the meal, but I forgot all about the side dishes.
I sat down and had my stew. It was delicious. After dinner, I sat down in front of the TV and fell asleep. I woke up an hour later and went to bed.
The next morning, I was making breakfast. I opened the microwave door to heat something up. I found the side dishes from the night before.
Recently, I am trying to eat healthier. So, I am really into making fresh smoothies for breakfast.
This morning, I was getting ready to make my smoothie. I got out the fruit, yogurt drink, and my blender.
I put everything in and turned it on. But nothing happened. I took off the plastic container and put it back on carefully. But still nothing happened. I told my wife we needed a new blender.
She came over and laughed. She picked up the cord and showed it to me. I had simply forgotten to plug it in.
For a quick meal, I often make instant food. One day, I heated up a pouch of instant curry. I put some water in the pot. I turned on the gas and put the pouch in the pot to heat it up.
Just then, I got a call from my boyfriend. I went to the living room and sat down to talk.
Suddenly, I noticed a burning smell and remembered the curry.
I went back into the kitchen. The water had boiled away. And the pouch of curry was burnt at the bottom of the pot.
I saw on TV that a new pancake restaurant had just opened. It was very popular, and many people were going there.
It was Saturday, so I decided to take my family there for brunch. When we arrived, there was already a long line. It was about a one-hour wait.
It was a long time, but we decided to wait. While we waited, more people lined up behind us.
After waiting for over an hour, finally, we were seated. The pancakes were average, and I regretted wasting an hour in line.
I went to my favorite coffee shop. There is another coffee shop nearby, but I always go to this one because they have a point card system.
My card was filled with stamps and I was finally going to get my free cup of coffee.
When I got to the counter, I presented my card. “I’d like to get my free cup of coffee,” I said.
They said, “I’m sorry, but this point card campaign has finished.” I had to pay for the coffee. I am no longer their loyal customer.
Last week, I went out to a restaurant with my wife. I ordered the ginger fried pork set for lunch, and my wife ordered the tomato cream sauce spaghetti.
After about 5 minutes, the spaghetti came. I said to my wife, “Go ahead. My order will be here soon.” Another 10 minutes passed. But my food had still not arrived.
Finally, my wife finished eating.
I asked the waiter impatiently, “Where is my order?” He looked surprised and apologized. He said, “I’m so sorry. I’ll make it right away. And it’s on the house.”
I went out with my friend for lunch. The day before, my friend had helped me move. So, I wanted to treat him to a meal.
After we finished eating, I said, “You really helped me a lot, so it’s on me!”
I opened my wallet to pay. But I had forgotten to go to the bank. So, I only had a thousand yen in my wallet.
My friend told me not to worry. He said, “We can split the bill!” But my lunch cost 1400 yen. So, I had to borrow 400 yen from him. I was so embarrassed.
I usually have the daily special at the restaurant near my office. Today’s special was lasagne. It sounded good. And I was starving. So I ordered the large size.
It was delicious, and I ate too much. I though to myself, “I don’t need to eat lasagne again for a while.”
When I got home, my wife greeted me with a smile. She said, “I made your favorite homemade lasagne for dinner.”
I was shocked. I couldn’t tell her I ate lasagne for lunch. I managed to finish everything.
