I've waited almost ten years to get an In-n-Out Burger here in Utah. Ten years! That's right folks. After years of going to AZ, NV, and CA - making our first stops at an In-n-out, one finally opened here in Orem last Thursday.
Oooooh! I love a perfect DRINKABLE shake. (you see, here where I live, shakes are like DQ's Blizzards, which I enjoy, but who doesn't love a nice creamy cold sip from a straw?) At any rate - the line to INB has been no less than 45 min. day and night. (It truly is a sight - they hired 120 people to man opening day - there are A LOT of Californian's here in UT!) On my third try, yesterday after school, the line was 10 minutes and I WAS IN! Oh MAMA!!!! (slurrrrp)
The burger was burger heaven. The fries, delighful, and the shake? Let's just say I made my kids share while I resereved ONE just for MWA. (that's french, you know - for ME!)
Annyyyyywho...So as we're almost home, I've had just a few tiny sips to tease my chubby taste buds. Sweet bliss.... (I like to save and enjoy really naughty food in the privacy of my room, or the bathroom, or lock the kids outside - no kids, just me and a book - or the TV. "Don't bother me, I'm piggin' it up in here!!! I'll be right out." Call it what you will. Eating disorder, pig face, mothers little helper, whatever. I know I have issues.) Then, baby starts to have a fit! He wants some of the 'kids shake' - and it's gone. I hand him mine to pacify him. How much could a one year old drink?! Let me rephrase that; how much could a one year old DUMP. ALL. OVER. HIMSELF?! Yep. The EN_TIRE stinkin' thing! Poured all over him, down the car seat, out the buckle holes, onto the seat of the car, and down the side.
What was that about 'a drinkable shake'? (maybe that's why shakes are like icecream here - so many kids, you know) And TEN YEARS?! Oh well. Think of the calories he saved me. (oh, don't think I didn't try to scoop it up and put it back in my cup - 'cause you know I did...futile, though.)
*sigh*
Don't worry. I'll try again soon. Maybe after I get my stomach all stretched out from Thanksgiving. Yep. More room. Good idea.

LOL!!! It's seriously the "mom" dilemma. You know, you bake your favorite cookies, give them away, let your kids chow down, and you save one for you, yes just one, cause your trying to be good with just a little sinfulness, that just happens to be the last one, and just as you're about to eat it, one of your angel children come and say that so and so ate their cookie and "can I have that one?" I think that to really enjoy the shake you must call a friend, ahem..., and go after the kiddies are in bed.
I had my first In N Out shake in San Diego. Holy COW it was good. YUM. I was also introduced to "animal style" for you insiders. And no, get your mind OUT of the gutter. Seriously.
I seriously ate my lunch the other day in the laundry room trying to find some peaceful mommy time! I am glad that I am not the only one who hides so she can eat in peace!
