Lunch with Quinners

Today, being Saturday, we had some running around to do. Like return my $100 shoes that were the most uncomfortable things known to mankind. And book a birthday party at Build A Bear workshop for my older daughter who turns eight on Sunday.

While at the mall, Quinners (who is almost three) decides that she can no longer walk properly, talk properly, or act appropriately until she has food. As all of you with allergies/sensitivities/Celiac know - the food fair at the mall is no place to be ordering food and not have some cross-contamination involvement.

Except New York Fries. Who knew?

Yes, they use 100% Canola oil, and only potatoes are dropped into the oil. Nothing is coating the potatoes. No batter of any kind. Nothing else is deep fried there. Utensils are only used for fries, salt shakers contain only salt. Employees washing their hands. A designated "fryer operator". No cross contamination here.

So Quinners and I spent a mother daughter moment, in the food fair of Hillside Mall, sharing a small milk and eating fries. Each with our own ketchup. Mine sprinkled with white vinegar. Talking like a 37 year old and a two-and-three-quarters girl can.

It was fast food bliss.
