I just heard a quick blurb on the news about the most expensive dinner ever served. It happened recently in Thailand, and it featured 10 courses, with the finest caviar, wine and foods flown in from around the world.
Guess how much it cost per person? Would you believe $25 thousand dollars each, not counting tax and tip? Read about it here:
I remembered the post I had earlier this week on my old blog - Just Ask Judy - about the foods being served for the buffet at the Oscar's Ball.. Some people who commented were appalled at the amazing amounts and varieties of foods being served.....as was I. But this dinner certainly tops that one for disgusting conspicuous consumption (pun intended!) I doubt that the Oscar's producers spent that much per person for the buffet. Think how many starving people could have been fed with that money!

I worked at the flower shop Tues. from 8:30am to 4:00 pm, with only a 15 minute break for lunch. People were calling and coming in the shop in droves to order Valentine's flowers/candy/stuffed animals for their sweeties. Wednesday will be a killer of a day because all the men who stupidly didn't think to order early will be frantically trying to get red roses - and we will likely have sold out of everything but orange and yellow. Happens every year.

One of the women at the shop was asked to put a blackboard sign with a message about Valentine's Day on the sidewalk in front of the shop. She wrote: "It's not too late!" and a woman passing by on the street told her that the word "too" was spelled wrong. She came back inside to verify her spelling, and of course, we all told her she was correct. I wanted to run out, find that woman and tell her how wrong she was - but I restrained myself.....LOL. It was hard to do.

I heard the shop owner on the phone, and he answered the person on the other end of the line with "Well, Sir, that is pretty much all we do." I was curious about what the guy had said, and the boss told me: "I don't want flowers, plants, candy or stuffed animals. What else can you do for me?" Why did the guy call a flower shop if he didn't want anything we sell? Beats me.
I do hope your sweetie treats you well this Valentine's Day!
