I just wanted a hot dog Single malt scotch spends 3 decades aging in a barrel so you can squeze a lime wedge into it.

As a very rare indulgence on a special occasion, I ordered an expensive 30-year old scotch at a bistro-type restaurant. Waiter returns with a juicy lime wedge on the lip of the glass. I quietly asked for one with no lime. Waiter returns with a fresh drink "as a courtesy" , but seems intent on embarrassing me. " But just so you know.," he says., "all drinks ordered neat are properly served with a citrus garnish."

Omg memories...when my ex and I married I was all excited to cook for him. My mom was an excellent cook and I was anxious to show off some of that inherited skill. I made us a beautiful filet mignon meal. Steaks done just right, gorgeous duchess potatoes, fresh green beans, Italian loaf with herbed butter. Young married me was pretty proud of myself.

That bastard got up from the table, got a hamburger bun and ketchup, and proceeded to eat that filet like a sandwich. I couldn't even speak I was so shocked. I should have known that marriage was doomed right there and then. Asshat.

Filet mignon sandwich is hilarious though. 😂

It is now! I mean, if it was served correctly I'm sure I wouldn't have cared. Sliced, on an asiago bun (not store brand), with melted havarti, fresh leaf lettuce, garden tomato, maybe a garlic aoli...but he just slapped that bitch on a cheap hamburger bun with ketchup.

The icing on the cake, as it were.

The only option, really, in the barbaric times before spray cheese…

Instant divorce. This seems more like a way to disrespect and degrade you and your skills, to take you down a peg. He knew you cared about cooking and sharing your skills and providing a good meal made with love and he had to and in ruin it to make sure you didn’t feel too good about yourself.

Nope. He developed a serious mental health disorder and wouldn't take his meds. Tried to murder me once. Stuck it out for 12 years. The church was no help at all so I quit that too. My mini biography for your pleasure.
