This guy

I see this guy a few days a week. He comes into my work and orders a double burger with only lettuce, tomato, onion and mustard...NO CHEESE. The will also get either a potato or a salad along with a chili or a nugget with honey (well honey mustard but he only orders honey). To drink he orders a Large Iced tea with no sugar or lemon. Okay I know those details may seem irrelavant. If they are then how can I remember his order so vividly? I also know a lady who orders a half apple salad and a small chili. She does not get the dressing because she puts the chili on the salad. Half the time she forgets but she eats the salad without the cheese. We had to remind her. Sometimes she will get a full salad with one dressing and again no cheese. These are people that I see sometimes more than my family in a week period. I do not know them intimately but I know part of their eating habits. Food is a huge foundation in my life. I think it is in everyone's life. It makes for good discussion. It comforts me. I eat it when I am stressed and become relaxed. Food has a story behind it. Why does the double burger guy always come into Wendy's? Why is it that he chooses that particular place to eat when there is a McDonald's right next door? Why does the lady with the salad always get less dressing? People meet at restuarants for fellowship. Friends go out to lunch to catch up and spend some time together. A cliche date involves going to dinner and a movie. Food brings people together in ways that nothing else can. It is crazy. I love baking. I do not eat what I bake all the time because then I would be like 1,000 lbs. However I enjoy baking. I enjoy sharing what I create with others. I know they enjoy it too. (^_^) This all sounds like mumble jumble but I hope you all understand what I am trying to say.
