why did you have to come along????

Future sister in law....argh...She basically ruined dinner last night. We thought the fiance's brother and wife were coming to Philly to go to dinner with us in Fishtown at this place called the Memphis Taproom that we saw on diners drive-ins and dives when we were in NY to visit them. So his brother has been obsessed with the place since then and we ate there once and loved it . And then we would take them to the newish Steve Starr German beer garden too. Yeah that didn't happen.


I was so excited to go too because I love them. And they are foodies and beer/wine snobs like us.  However, they pull up and of course fiance's sister is along and driving. So of course I was annoyed because we got in the car and the scared of philly/highway/streets started. I get it, she's from the burbs in Jersey but hey I'm from the burbs in PA and I'm not scared of the place. As a side note I went with the family to the zoo on Tuesday with fiance's mom, sis, brother & wife and baby.  I took them down Girard Ave where the zoo is located and sis was driving and having a fit becuase she thought it was scary. Yeah that's not even a bad section of the city...
So we get there and apparently her fiance is supposed to meet us. Well he then proceeds to get lost in philly (because he can't use a gps and is as retarded as she is) so he says he's going home. Well then she starts texting him and he doesn't answer which, um hello? he was driving and probably tired. So we go to have dinner and he doesn't answer her texts and nor does their dad who since it was 8pm, had probably fallen alseep.

Then we go to order and of course she doesn't like any of the food there becuase it's not plain (seriously her diet is plain chicken with honey mustard, maybe shrimp or crabs if she's not paying, or pasta) and well this place doesn't do plain food which is why we like it (U d mashed parsnips and leeks with a steak) nor do they have light beer (which she asked for--it's a beer garden do you really think they have coors light?) Fiance & his bro look at her like she said something unknown to them when she asked for that considering they were drinking some sort of belgian beer that had more alcohol than wine in it...I love the place because it has belgian gluten free beer that is dark which makes me very very happy.

So the four of us proceed to order tons of stuff on the menu because we are starving and everything is good plus we want to share stuff--yeah not little sis,  she orders grilled green beans which she then doesn't eat because she starts crying AFTER she finally gets in touch with her fiance and we find out he's fine and just went to get food.

So needless to say our dinner then ended because she had to get home to him. Then she blamed fiance for picking as she put it "some obscure place no one can find" argh. We got home and fiance was like WHY did my sister come along? She should know that if we are going it's not going to be somewhere she would eat.  Seriously, last time we had dinner with her, we took their 86 year old grandma to dinner with us who could find plenty she wanted to eat (and have a beer too) and sis was stressing because they didn't have honey mustard sauce or plain chicken...

Seriously I would like to grab her and shake her and be like HELLO YOU ARE AN ADULT! You are getting married and have a house!!! Freaking act like an adult!
