Menus and Spellcheck

Since Heather has been here, for 5 weeks now, oh, and three, no four days she says (not that she is counting or anything) we have been out twice to a restaurant to have a special treat. The first was when we went down to immigration to get her passport stamped. Kathleen took us. Its funny (well to me anyhow) we go to immigration, and the officer looks at her passport and says, oh you have just arrived. The date of entry was 10-11-06, and so he thought it was November 10th, 2006, when really it was October 11, 2006. In which case, she would have just entered the country that very day. We explained, no, she had been in the country one month. She is now good to stay until January 11th. So, we carry on to do a little shopping, and then to lunch, at a restaurant, the Beirut, for some Lebanese food (big Lebanese population here). Heather puruses the menu, she is looking at hamburgers, she hasn’t had one in over a month. She gets to one, and it lists all the condiments, and finishes, “on at toasted bum”. We all had a really good laugh about that. I wonder if they sell alot of toasted bum. Anyhow. She was going to take a photo, but the waiter came and took the menus before she could. Today, we went for pizza at the Mona LIza. We ordered the four cheese pizza. The first ingredient listed was pecoroni. Of course, we think, another unfortunate typo, it should be pepperoni and so, we enjoy a good laugh. We get the pizza, no pepperoni. Heather and I discuss it, should we say anything, Heather says, perhaps its a type of cheese. I say, there is no way it is a type of cheese. It doesn’t sound like a cheese name. When the waiter returns, I ask, he grabs a menu, and we look, he says, yes, there should be pepperoni. One of the manager comes out, and tells us, that pecoroni, is a type of cheese. OOps. Bec was wrong. Yes. I admit, it happens from time to time. Well, it did provide us with a good laugh.
In other totally unrelated news, this next week we will spend painting black boards that we will be donating to some local schools. I will keep you updated.
OH, and I went to the World Cheese Index. The cheese is really called Pecorino, and is an Italian cheese made from sheeps milk with 25 - 35% Milk Fat. Good to know.
