Food to Crack Up Over

A conversation between Samantha and her mother on the way to the restaurant today........

Samantha:  "What's the name of the restaurant we're going to again?"

Me:  "Opium"

Samantha:  "Opium?"

Me:  "Yep, but it's not really called Opium, it's called O-P-M.  OPM Restaurant.  But if you say it fast it comes out Opium."

Samantha:  "Ya like the drug."

Me:  "Oh the drug.  How do YOU know about opium the drug?"

Samantha:  "School.  And I heard if you eat poppy seed muffins and then have to have a urine test, it will show up that you've been using opium."

Me:  "Are you serious?  I didn't know that?  I eat poppy seed muffins all the time from Second Cup."

Samantha:  "I know.  So maybe your pee has opium in it."

Me:  "Wow, how cool.  I've never been drug tested before but wow.  Maybe I'm an addict."

Samantha:  "Ya, you're a muffin addict.  Maybe it's not really the muffin you're craving though."

Me:  "Whoa!  So maybe if they're out of muffins at Second Cup and I want my 'fix' I can just go down Jasper Avenue to a back alley and ask for it."

Samantha:  "Ooooo scarey."

Me:  "And instead of saying 'hey mister you got any opium?' I could use a code word like they do on tv for cocaine....you know....smack or spat or jack.  But my code word would be cooler.  Like 'muffin'.  Ya. So I'll go down Jasper Avenue and say  'Hey mister you got any muffin?"

Samantha:   Laughing hysterically.

And a review of the restaurant?  Awesome!  I will definitely be going back there.  I had the Curry Chicken and the first few bites took a bit of getting used to, but after that I loved it.  Hot though.  My nose ran, I was sweating, my eyes watered.....all good.  I loved it.

I wanted to do the restaurant justice so instead of trying a weak attempt at writing about it, I googled and found this review.  Different meals of course but after what we experienced and reading this review, I have a feeling you can't go wrong with whatever you order at the OPM Restaurant.

Next Restaurant on my list to try?  Joey's Global Grill & Lounge.  Because my daughter tells me they have a Buttered Chicken that is to die for.....and I love Buttered Chicken.

We have such funny conversations with our kids don't we, and us moms always learn something new. :)

Ah, but will Joey's Global Grill & Lounge satisfy your "drug" cravings?

Whenever I see something about poppy seeds, I picture the Wicked Witch of the West saying, "Poppies... poppies..." and then I hear her maniac witch-cackle. Then the flying monkeys arrive.

I like poppy seed cake too. And muffins.

I've been to that Joey's for lunch. It was good. The OPM review makes it sound good too.

We don't go out that much for dinner. Too bad but we have other priorities. Once those are done, then maybe we might start going out more.
