I fell asleep before he came home so with baited breath I waited to hear about all of the gastronomic delights and his rating of the restaurant. The conversation went something like this.
Mim: How was it? Did you enjoy it? What'd you have?
Mr. C: It was aiight! I had some biriyani and some other crap.
Mim: Was it spicy? Did you try something new anything that we can try sometime soon? What was the name of the restaurant? Would you go again?
Mr. C: Is the AC on 'cause it's hot in here?
That was the end of the conversation. Looking back I realized I probably asked way to many questions at once and he lost the plot or tuned me out. I would have been gushing about the meal, the presentation of the dishes, the spices, the smells and the overall experience. Oh well - he did bring home a souvenir from the night now I just wonder if he'll watch it with me.
