Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side.

Have you ever been a third wheel on someone’s date?


Have you ever been a third wheel on someone’s date?

I’ve always experience being a third wheel when I was young when my friends didn’t want to go alone on a first time they met someone for the first time.

Or I use to ask my friends to come with me because I also felt the same way I didn’t want to be alone with someone new I met when I use to live in the Philippines when I was younger. I had heard stories my parents use to tell me when I was young and what they might do to you.

In my mind I had this imagine what if what my parents told me was true but again on the second date you kind of know the person a little more and the tension of the person seem easier on yourself.

Having a first date gives you an excitement and you wonder who is this person you really don’t know I am sure anyone has felt the same way you really don’t know the person if you get to know someone and ask them a lot of questions.

As we get older and you are single all over again the same thing happens to you because I have experience it with my mom she always wants me to go with her when she is with her girl friends or guy friends they feel comfortable that they can rely on someone to be there with them when they go out on a date or when they travel either way you begin a part of something in their life.

When you have a friend in other country and you are doing video call you can also experience being a third wheel on your friend’s date with her boyfriend.

The cool part is her boyfriend doesn’t mind at all that you are experience the area they are in and you get to see the outside even if you know you are really at home.

The best part is when you have a friend who wants to share the same experience as they are walking outside with you but even if you are not really next by them outside but to experience seeing the environment makes you feel special.
