On the clear, crisp morning of October 2, I woke up bright and early; I even got out of bed without any problems or difficulties. Surprisingly, I didn't even hit the tempting snooze button or throw the alarm clock against the wall to stop the incessant beeping. It was a Saturday morning and I had never felt more rested. I was ecstatic that morning, not because the weekend had finally arrived, but because I planned to go out to eat that evening at my favorite restaurant: Outback Steakhouse. I guess I should have been excited because the occasion was my second anniversary with my boyfriend, but in all honesty, the thought of a juicy steak and tasty soup excited me more than the thought of a romantic evening and exchanging gifts. . I sat around. all day, anxiously waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up. At five we were finally on our way, but I wish we had left earlier. Not only had I been starving all day, but the wait for a table was now thirty-five minutes. Although disappointed, I knew the meal would be worth the wait. My boyfriend suggested we go to the Olive Garden across the street, but I simply declined. I've been waiting patiently for my New York steak all week and wouldn't take "No" for an answer. As we both waited for our group's name to be called, our mouths watered. The sight of each passing steak, marinated in fourteen different seasonings, herbs, and spices, lit up our eyes, and the smell made our stomachs growl even more than they already had. We were delighted when we finally sat down and placed our order. While we waited for the appetizers, we held a conversation for quite some time. It was when our Kookaburra chicken wings, salads and soups arrived that the table went silent. If it weren't for the sound of us chewing and eating every crumb and morsel on our plates, you could hear a pin drop. Judging by the way we ate, an onlooker would have thought it was our last meal. Not a word was said, except when we fought for the last wing. Normally I would be polite and give up without argument, but these wings are heavenly.
