My Free Lunch @ Chili's

Okay, okay, I have a confession to make.  I cheated on my diet.  Yes, I know it's barely my second day, but I got an offer I just couldn't refuse!  My boss at work had a $100 gift card to Chili's restaurant, and had invited me and two other co-workers to lunch... so what was I to do?  Of course, I accepted.  When we got there I still wanted to stay true to my diet, and so I looked for the cheapest item on the menu, but I could not find anything under $5!!!  "Oh, well, I guess I'd better make the most of this!", I thought to myself.

I thought about ordering a juicy cheeseburger, but being as how I am on a diet, I at least wanted to order something more or less healthy, and so I went for Chili's Fajita Trio combo, a dish that includes grilled steak, mouth-watering chicken and spicy garlic and lime shrimp.  Yummy!  The waiter asked if I wanted beans and fries to go along with that and you know I said yes!!!  All that goodness and a giant-sized beverage cost me a whopping $0!!!  Okay, okay, so technically it wasn't truly a $5 lunch, but hey, it was under $5 for me!!!  So in a way, I didn't break my diet... but yeah, I cheated!

I have to admit, though, it was worth it!  The food was delicious and the service was decent... and as far as the price, you can't get any better than FREE!!!

I didn't get a chance to see how much the meal cost (my boss snatched the bill as soon as the waiter brought it over), but I can imagine that it would have cost me at least $15.  My other co-workers and I thanked my boss for his generosity and we were off to work for another day.

Oh yeah, and sorry for the low-quality pictures.  I accidentally dropped my iPhone yesterday and cracked the screen!!!  So right now it's in the shop getting repaired, and I had to take these pictures with a cheap cell phone that they loaned me while the iPhone gets fixed, but I wanted to show you a picture of what my iPhone looked like when it was shattered below... see you later!
