Free is Good

My brother and I went to lunch today. We do that often. I always know I can count on my brother to get something good to eat. He's even snobbier than me when it comes to food. Not that I have been eating amazing food lately. It seems that being healthier requires you to give up on some delicious things.

My brother had a buy one get one free lunch coupon to one of our most favorite restaurant. His girlfriend's birthday just passed, and she wasn't interested in going, so my default, it was given to me.

My brother decides that he's starving today, and seriously orders the whole left side of the menu. He had extra side dishes, soups, among other things. I ordered chicken tacos because that was what I was in the mood for. (I must say that I always love eating cantaloupe here. Why is it always so freaking sweet?)

I think my jaws dropped when I saw the check. It was less than $10. We ordered a truckload of food, and he charged us for the cheapest meal. The waiter even gave us TWO piece of cake for free. What is going on? Why am I all of sudden getting free stuff? (Frances and I got extra minutes for bike riding when we were in the Grand Canyon.)

If anyone knows me, they know that I LOVE free stuff. You can imagine my excitement, and it really was pure unadulterated joy. :)

(I am not sure if the waiter will get in trouble of I give out where we were, so I'll just leave it at that...)
