we don't eat fast food often, but when we do, chick-fil-a is our restaurant of choice. did you know that you can trade in the kid's meal toy for a free ice cream? that alone is enough to earn my business. well, that and the fact that every chick-fil-a i've ever visited has remarkably good customer service. where else will a teenager working for minimum wage actually stop by your table with pitchers to refill your drinks, and extra napkins for your messy eaters?
however, even a devoted patron can only go so far. their customer appreciation week culminated today with free combo meals for anyone who came dressed as a cow -- which seemed to be asking a bit much. i pondered the idea for a moment, but realized that simply putting on my cute cowprint clogs would probably not suffice. sadly, i gave up my hopes for free food ... until i remembered three things: 1) susanna was a cow for last halloween; 2) i actually have said costume in my possession; and 3) i can force my child to do anything if a free meal is involved. (long live commercialism.)
we chowed down at lunch for next to nothing. who could ask for anything mooooooore?

Oh my gosh! We do not have a free standing Chick Fila here and I miss it so much- there is one in a mall but we just don't go... I wish I had known about the ice cream thing before!
