I am Pretty Woman

We walked into the three star Persian restaurant where their thing was Pigs. Not as in pork, but rather pig décor. You know how some restaurants have vines, or grapes, or movie stars or sports, well this restaurant had pigs. The entrance had large brass handles that were shaped as pigs. The neo-classical murals on the walls depicted pigs feasting in the forest. As we went up the spiral staircase that was lit with crystal chandeliers, I thought to myself…Who said “let’s open up a fancy restaurant with pigs everywhere” ?? A theme that would not fit in at home....I found it fascinating.

Once seated at the table we order escargot and wine. The escargot arrived and the thinga ma giggy was place to my right. I picked it up and inspected the foreign object, squeezed it and knew I had seen these before. It was not in that cluttered utensil drawer at the cottage, it was in Pretty Woman! I stared at the snail and squeezed the thinga ma giggy around its shell and carefully did that three times, savoring each bite. The third snail was not as successful I reached for it but it slipped and instead of the server catching it, it hit Joe in the arm! At that moment there was nothing for me to do, but smile and say “Slippery little suckers!”
