 RH>> no bun for me, not even on the side. Got to save room for dessert.
 NB>> Only offerings there were frozen custard, with or without toppings,
 NB>> or in a few choices of sundaes...  :)

 RH> That works. you mentioned they had chocolate. I might skip toppings
 RH> tho. 
 
What they listed as toppings were crushed almonds, Spanish peanuts,
chocolate sprinkles and rainbow sprinkles... 

 RH> I usually do wait until near the end of the meal to ask for a box.
 RH> But, when the entree is brought out and it looks big enough, I split
 RH> it before starting to eat it. Sometimes I've nibbled a bit off the
 RH> portion I'd put aside but most often, that is untouched until it

We each have our own techniques... ;)
 
 NB>>> She ended up hardly eating any of the fries, so she saved the
 NB>>> calories and carbs there...  :)
 RH>> I'd have tried the fries but probably not had very many. Splitting
 RH>> an order with Steve, giving him the much larger amount, and still
 RH>> not eating the bun, would have helped also.
 NB>> You'd probably both have sufficient to eat, too...  :)

 RH> Maybe ended up taking some home, even with splitting them?

Maybe, maybe not... depends on how hungry y'all might be at the time,
I'd guess... not very, you'd bring some home, probably... regular,
probably not....

 RH> We've both cut back considerably on the amount of fries we eat; when
 RH> fast food places started letting us sub a side salad for fries on a
 RH> combo, the fries were history. Every now and then we'll split an
 RH> order but even then, I make sure Steve gets the larger amount. I'll
 RH> take what I want, then let him dump ketchup all over the rest. (G)

We don't eat a lot of fries, either... and when one of us does get them,
it's usually eaten with mustard instead of ketchup... something that we
got into doing way back when...  :)  My neighbor Gwen used to like fries
(in small quantities), so when we went to Wendy's, we'd usually get a Jr
bacon cheeseburger each (hers, hold the cheese, mine, hold the lettuce),
a small Frosty each, and share a small fries... Fed two for less than
$5, after the senior discount...  ;)  That was about enough fries to
hold me until the next time we went there...  ;)

 NB>>> money... so it could go for another meal, or be split between
 NB>>> diners easily enough...  :)
 RH>> Do they do discounts for seniors or others? Steve usually asks
 RH>> about a military discount--most restaurants only do it on Veteran's
 RH>> Day but you never know who will do it, for what and when.
 NB>> Didn't think to ask... I usually do ask about senior discounts...
 NB>> didn't think of it here, as an arm of the grocery store, but they
 NB>> might, as a restaurant...  :)  Just got a senior discount from Boston
 NB>> Market, grabbed a quick sandwich from the drive-thru to eat on my way
 NB>> down to Avon and back Tuesday...  :)

 RH> Sounds good. We don't generally go to Boston Market--not too many of
 RH> them in this area or on the route we generally travel. We did try them
 RH> in NJ once, and they weren't bad, but just don't usually go there.

Not many around here, either, but there is one in Henrietta that I
regularly go by...  It's not a regular stop, though... decent place,
decent food, if that's the sort of food one is after that day...  It's
another place that I'd take Gwen, when I was trying to encourage her to
eat more... she liked their mashed potatoes and gravy and their
meatloaf... and it was good to get her out of the house, too... :)

ttyl      neb

... The answer is "maybe" ... and that's semi-final.
