Buffet Backfire

The errands to Reno went okay, but the normally dependable buffet at the Peppermill went wrong on us. It wasn't the food so much as the service. For some reason, they couldn't provide Lisa with clean silverware. After three times being given silverware with food specks on it, she went to the manager, who brought her a clean spoon, except it was a large soup spoon, and Lisa doesn't like soup spoons and wants a teaspoon (or whatever name you want to call the small-sized spoon). Combine that with poor drink-refill service tonight and the bad dinner last night and we've decided to leave them alone for a while. It's not as though there aren't plenty of options for dining in Reno.

The food from the buffet was good enough, though, and we managed to escape too much impulse-buying at Whole Foods and Winco before heading home. Tomorrow it's back to Reno and the TMJ specialist, and I continue to work around (literally) these other commitments with the Day Jobbe.
