Anyone up for bass???

OK, so I went to a friend's birthday dinner at Villa Ravenna this weekend, had a ball, blah, blah, blah (totally recommend the sea bass).

Which, oddly enough, segues scarily into the first of two potential fights I could've gotten myself into. Our waiter, who was REALLY nice and extra-ORD-inarly helpful, kept referring to various menu items as "his sea bass" or "his rack of lamb." And, of course, this cracked me up. Totally should've left it at that and moved on. But NOOOOOO, I had to say, "Your sea bass was great" and asking Tim across the table from me, "So, how was his rack of lamb?" or Christy "Did you get enough of his" whatever, fill in your own blank ... Not nice, and 1,002 apologies to the karma gods.

Now, potential fight No. 2: Did you see "Napoleon Dynamite"? Remember that part when he says, "I caught you a delicious bass"? Well, that resonated through my mind that evening, as well as Banshee's and Michelle's heads, as we read the menu -- moreso when I ordered it.

I swear, sometimes I get food tipsy -- drunk with calories, so to speak, and just act a grade-A fool. There was NO cause for going on about "his rack of lamb," which, to be honest, sounds kinda dirty.

The lesson here, sweet, precious reader(s?) is this: Be sweet. God's watching, and so are a host of hidden cameras, if my paranoia proves correct.

And, next time you're at VR, totally try his sea bass.

Peace, love and lamb racks ... xoxo

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
