Michelle brought home a stack of coupons (PRONOUNCED COO-PONS!!!) that someone dropped off at her work for McDonalds Cafe dealie. They make mochas, cappucinnos(sp?) and such. The coupons are: buy a mocha or whatever and get a free sammich. The stuff's pretty good, but the coupons only last till 9/25 and only work at the 84th and Grover Micki-Ds. So if anyone wants one, let me know. Cause I'm not eating that much Mc-Cholesterol over the next 5 days.
McNo Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI only eat McDonalds in emergencies. Or when I'm in Chicago for a Cubs game -- it's right across the street from Wrigley Field.
I think the only think McDonalds is good for is sweet tea... most places in the Midwest don't seem to serve it
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer. I've been a strict vegetarian since 2001, and since then, have found nothing in a McD's that I would eat. Even the fries are precooked in lard.
ReplyDeleteI suppose a salad might be OK, but I'm one of those weird vegetarians that doesn't particularly like salad.
Anyways, I grew up in Alabama where sweet tea is the norm, and the word is pronounced there as "CUE-pon". I still say it that way. My Nebraska family still gives me grief for the way I say "UM-brella" and my word choice "hose pipe" for a garden hose.
Moe's Southwestern Grill and Cracker Barrel offer sweet tea, by the way.
I confess that I like the McRib. I know, that's nasty. It's one of the sandwiches you love or hate.
ReplyDeleteI rarely eat at McDonalds more than once a year. And if I do, it's usually the Asian chicken salad. Woo! But when the McRib is in, I'll load up my dog Emmy for an extra-special run to Mickey D's.
My dog also likes the McRib.
Before I go any further, let me say that Emmy eats a 1/2 cup in the morning and 1/2 in the evening of the same boring dog food every day. She also gets a couple milkbone treats and an occasional rawhide chewy. Except for the seasonal McRib, she does not have any "human" food.
At the drive through window, I order the combo and add the extra McRib for $1.
At this point in time, Emmy's drool has made a puddle on the armrest.
The next scene is not unlike the instructions from the flight attendant: take care of your own needs first before helping others. In other words, Emmy has to endure while I frantically shovel the so-called pork(?) sandwich swimming in BBQ sauce & the fries into my pie hole. Then, I calm her down and wipe up her slobber with a thick McDonald's napkin before I utter the magic words she's waited a year to hear:
"HEY EMMY - - YOU WANNA McRIB?!!"
She goes ape shit over this. I have to quickly tear the sandwich into two (because she'd make such a mess in the car if I simply handed it over to her) and gingerly feed/throw it into the vacuum that's become her mouth.
Now I enjoy the McRib. But seeing Emmy devour it makes the experience even more delightful.
Yes. I'll take a coupon. In fact, make it two.
Wow, Emmy is already a spaz, so if McRibs (which I also drool over) make her even more crazy, well that's gotta be like the Tasmanian Devil or something. And not the real one, but rather the animated one.
ReplyDeleteI eat at McDonald's more than I care to admit, but it's because a) it's right next to my apartment, b) it's cheap, and c) I'm in college. It's expected.
ReplyDeleteI do love me a McRib, though. Hits the spot. I also love the chicken selects. And the chicken nuggets. And fries.
See, this is why I always have a few pounds to lose at the start of the season.
I used to like processed pork molded into the shape of a piece of pork ribs (kind of like Wonder pork twins, activate!), complete with grease pen grill lines, but ever since there was a seriously non-human hair in one I got about 19 years ago, no McRibs for me. Had it been human hair, no sweat.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's CU-pon. Don't get me started on pecans.
