in a "hurry"


Anne sent me this one. I guess the festive atmosphere encourages a lot of fake hurrying.

This confounds me. It makes me wonder if the wait-person times you while you scan the menu. Quickly! Quick! Hurry! I mean, how "fine" can this food be?

I'm thinking more along the lines of Montezuma's Revenge...

Everybody wants their food served fast, but in a hurry? Even without the quotes...that just seems to indicate poor quality. The weird quotes add to that impression!

Unnecessary quotation marks have always been my "pet" peeve. I'm so "glad" I found this site.

I "love" your "blog". How do we send you "submissions"?

It's a relative "hurry." Like they'll deliver your food in 45 minutes rather than 6 hours. Not anyone else's definition of a "hurry," but by their standards ...

The thinking behind these quotes may have been that "A la carrera" translates (loosely) into "in a hurry."
