Today was the first weekend of AFDC Spring League. Lots of fun. I ended up landing funny during the first game and doing something bizarre to my (right) shoulder. Smart Pete would have stopped playing, iced it, and rested. Smart Pete doesn’t play ultimate frisbee, though, so he was at home. Instead, I played the rest of the day as I normally would, laying out, diving around, generally disregarding the shoulder pain as much as I could. I finally stopped with maybe one point left in the last game after a particularly rough layout (right onto the shoulder, I’m dumb). Afterward it only really hurt when I moved it in certain ways and at certain angles. Tonight, though, ouch. Thank god I don’t need to move my arm very often for the next several weeks.
After the games a group of us went out to La Casita for some Mexican. When we got there we decided to split a pitcher of margaritas. We were brought the house margarita on account of a miscommunication and they were pretty sub-standard. When the waitress came to take our drink orders, we asked about chips and salsa. We didn’t get chips and salsa, though, because the restaurant was out of tortilla chips. They were also out of salsa and out of queso dip.
Wait, what? How does a Mexican restaurant run out of those things? Worse: they had been out of them since the day before! Had they not heard of grocery stores for christ’s sake?
Since that nixed about half of the menu, we asked her to give us a few more minutes. When she returned, she said: “You’re going to hate me, but apparently we’re cleaning the deep fryers right now so we can’t do anything fried, either.”
So: Mexican restaurant. No chips. No salsa. No queso. Nothing deep fried. What the hell? Why were they even open?
Suffice it to say we paid for the margaritas and left. We ended up getting pizza instead, which was great.
Something similar happened to us recently after Ultimate, but they were jumping on everyone as they arrived — sometimes before they got in the front door — so people knew most of the menu was unavailable.
