extra hot.\u00a0 And the sauce tasted slightly sweet, and I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m down with that for anything above medium.\u00a0 However, my friends had better experiences than I did.\u00a0 One of my friends raved about the lemon pepper wings, and I tried one and they were quite good.\u00a0 The chicken sandwich was also praised as having a very unique and flavorful set of spices.<\/p>\n<p>Some of my friends ordered waffles with their wings, and they again came out with syrup.\u00a0 I still don&#8217;t get it.\u00a0 I heard tonight that chicken and waffles was a dish invented in L.A., not Southern at all unless you count Southern California.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a pic of the Nuh-Uh Girl with the mini-cheesecakes the Nuh-Uh Sister brought her:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/nuhuhbday2.jpg\" title=\"nuhuhbday2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/nuhuhbday2.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"nuhuhbday2.jpg\" border=\"0\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s a pic of the Nuh-Uh Girl eating dessert:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/nuhuhbday3.jpg\" title=\"nuhuhbday3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/nuhuhbday3.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"nuhuhbday3.jpg\" border=\"0\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I got my plate beers done at the Saucer before the birthday dinner.\u00a0 Beer report:<\/p>\n<p>Previous total:\u00a0 $594.00<\/p>\n<p>Beers 106, 107, and 108 (but 101, 102 and 103 according to the Saucer):<br \/>\nBass Ale $2.75<br \/>\nWoodchuck Amber Cider $2.75<br \/>\nWoodchuck Granny Smith Cider $2.75<br \/>\nTip:\u00a0 $1 x 3 beers = $3<br \/>\nTotal:\u00a0 $11.25<\/p>\n<p>Grand total:\u00a0 $605.25<\/p>\n<p>God the girls at the Saucer are developing attitudes.\u00a0 The girl who had a birthday March 1 is still asking me, &#8220;WHERE&#8217;S MY PRESENT.&#8221;\u00a0 Hey maybe you would have figured out by now that I didn&#8217;t get you anything for your birthday.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and the former waitress who used to call me Paulie Pocket made a guest appearance tonight.\u00a0 She was not accompanied by her little zebra-haired sidekick this time.\u00a0 I pointed out my BFF to her as the new most annoying waitress at the Saucer.\u00a0 &#8220;Yeah, but no one will ever be able to replace me and Zebra Hair as the most annoying waitresses ever,&#8221;
