Veggie Lo Mein makes my heart Milly Rock, any pasta dish makes me wanna cry and thank the Italians personally, the holiday meal (while it will never compare to the way Mama James throws down) is truly a blessing I can\u2019t help but skip around while I get my two or three plates (and yes one of them is just cranberry sauce). \u00a0However what comes up must come down, there have been days where I felt the lowest of low and not because I missed the some good grub but simply because, THERE WASN\u2019T ANYTHING TO EAT!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, it\u2019s happened on a few occasions where I didn\u2019t check the menu before swiping in, got all the way to my back table (either one of the two that are near the dish pit, I know you all know) and when I got up to the hot lines, there wasn\u2019t a single thing that made me want to grab a teal plate and dig in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most Sunday dinners don\u2019t excite me in the slightest way. I judge anyone who is legitimately excited for fish tacos and if you don\u2019t already hate me here\u2019s another zinger &#8211; I HATE GENERAL\u2019S CHICKEN! I\u2019m sorry that I\u2019m this way, I promise I\u2019m not a picky eater (I didn\u2019t get this gut by hating food), but good grief there have been weeks when I\u2019ve hated everything &#8211; lunch and dinner &#8211; and I could\u2019ve honestly cried. And the worst part is that I\u2019ve already used a swipe. The days of 19 meals are far behind me so when push comes to shove, the pushed have to settle for pizza and ranch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019m not going to complain about this and beg them to cater to me (although if they had a Shamia week where they only made my favorite foods we\u2019d be past cloud nine) and I\u2019m not going to ask them to add more options to the menu, I guess what I really want&#8230;is&#8230;for them&#8230;to&#8230;STOP MAKING GENERAL\u2019S CHICKEN FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Shamira James We all have favorite Commons meals, right? \u00a0Like those days where if we for some reason don\u2019t make it, we\u2019ll be salty until the next time the blessed day comes back around.
