Dainty Lunching

The other day, while having lunch with the "Y's" Group Exercise Instructors, I observed that most of them ordered a salad (separate checks) and only one ordered a regular lunch. There were about twelve of us and I, the only male, ordered a bowl of soup. The restaurant is called Piece Of Cake and is a favorite of ladies eating out with one another. When the salads came the dressing was on the side and I was amazed to see the ladies dipping a fork into the salad dressing, spearing a piece of salad, and then eating it. For me, if I get dressing on the side, I will dump the amount of dressing I want directly onto the salad. Only one lady, Tracy, dumped her dressing onto the salad, the one that had ordered the regular lunch. I will admit that the dipping method is a control on the amount of dressing consumed. All of the ladies have athletic, trim bodies and look very healthy. Was I observing something that is only local? When it came time for desert all the ladies refused except for one, Tracy, who ordered a four layer piece of cake. Tracy is a short, very shapely lady who has had breast augmentation, tummy tuck, chin sculpting and, perhaps, even lip enhancement. She married a rich man who likes his "Barbie" to look great. Given all the money necessary, I wondered how many others would have ordered a regular lunch.
