I'll have a side of no more ranch, please. 02/14/2008
 Yeah, so, who (the eff) I censored myself--eats ranch WITH fries? This picture displays my dismay (yes, that's me-pre-Britney Spears-esque school girl outfit-I knew what was up) and this is pretty much how I felt after our dinner at Ted's for V day. I know, I know, ranch? You wonder, why has our society become so obsessed? I could have politely declined to manager's kindness when he brought around a plate of hot fries to the people who'd been waiting for an hour~(of which I vowed to not taste tonight) but then I had just one, which made me think it was ok to have 10 more off of Derek's plate, dipped in ranch. Why do we do this to ourselves? "Yes, I'll go ahead and have the lunch portion of salmon, green beans, no butter please, squash, lettuce, no dressing..." "Oh, and I guess I'll just have one more wine." Then, it comes to the table, and the pecking begins, with the ranch. Why must everything be dipped in that "side vat" they bring to the table. We must stop the madness. No more ranch. Next time you order it, think of how hard you've worked not to have it, and think of this poor, pitiful face, the poster child for: NO MORE RANCH DRESSING. Guess it's back on the ranch-less track tomorrow. I'll have a side of Health Place, no ranch, thank you very much. Guess it's time to rock that 4 wheel TRI-cycle? and work the ranch off, Ruthie Spears.... CommentsShelby Fri, 15 Feb 2008 05:33:29 Did the fries have cheese on them? I love that- fries, cheese AND ranch. Also, as much as I hate to admit it, I usually want to pass on the wine with a plate of carbs and fat and toss back a nice cold beer. I cannot help you find the answer to the question "Why do we do this to ourselves?" Because as I am making myself the picture perfect glutton, I am simultaneously thinking... that hour and a half on the treadmill tomorrow is going to taste like sh@!

Derek Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:45:17 I know of nothing greater than a plate of Outback's Aussie Fries---only to be followed up with a nice rare steak--with a side of ranch. Brittany Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:45:20 Well, even though I find Ted's as one of the most disgusting places to eat (mostly because of one bad experience while pregnant...), it probably was a better and more healthy dinner than the lovely Steak N Shake dinner that I enjoyed by myself last night:) Nothing like dinner in the car while your husbands on his way home from Vegas:) Looking forward to a nice evening out tonight, but I cant promise that there wont be fries or ranch, two of my favorites:) Elisabeth Quinn Fri, 15 Feb 2008 11:22:44 Seriously, best stuff I've read all day! Miss you, Ruthie. Can't wait for more installments!

Mine was in Alpharetta at school while I put my two sick children to bed. I ate a yummy meal a la Fresh N Fit (no side of ranch, but definitely a side of BORING!).
