I don’t go to MCD much anymore but based on the ones I’ve been to lately, if you have to wait for them to make anything new, you better have time to spare….Ask for unsalted. They make a new batch. You add the salt and maybe even black pepper to taste. Fresh fried, every time. The burgers, that's another story.

In that case be more careful who you accept takeout from.I’m trying to eat healthy. Calories don’t count when someone brings you takeout
This update requires some setup.
MIL is Hispanic, speaks fluent Spanish.
But for some reason, she doesn’t like to actually speak Spanish.
Its an ongoing thing…
I can’t tell you how many times we've been at a restaurant or whatever, obviously everyone speaks Spanish, we ask MIL to translate for us, and rather than speak Spanish, she speaks very slowly and loudly in English.
Every so often, my wife will loser her shit.
”Mom! Stop making things difficult! You speak Spanish!”
More words are inevitably exchanged…
Taco Casa is my guilty pleasure. Crispy tacos and Frijoles.
While frijoles means beans in Spanish, FRIJOLES the menu item is beans with sauce and cheese.
Whenever they go to Taco Casa, I ask them to bring me some crispy tacos and Frijoles.
But when they return with the food, I’m looking at tacos and a side of beans.
After this has been happening too many times to count, I ask my wife to see why I never get what I order...because evidently I still talk mean, so its best to have my wife run interference on these things.
You can see where this is gonna go…
Wife: how come you never bring Pronstar the right food?
MIL: he ordered tacos and beans, did they make it wrong?
Wife: he ordered tacos and Frijoles
MIL: that’s what I ordered, tacos and a side of beans
Wife: he ordered Frijoles
MIL: didn’t you hear me, that’s what I ordered, says BEANS right here on the receipt
Wife, navigating to Taco Casa’s menu on her phone: FRIJOLES! Look, there’s a menu item called Frijoles. Not beans, not a side of beans…FRIJOLES
I’m sensing a pattern here LOL
Wife says her mom has been like this her whole life

I gotta agree. You fully KNOW the woman, and KNOW she will **** things up, yet you expect her not to. This is on you pronstar.Don't take your MIL there. Or order for yourself.

You'll et what I put in front of you!Then make sure your wife's the one who orders. I've never even considered trusting my MIL with a food order. She forgets that other people don't like exactly what she likes.

What? Nooooo! That post would suck!
I want MIL to keep ordering at the Drive-thru!!!!! This shit is funny!!!
Send her for Chinese food next!
It kinda goes back to yesterdays update also, with the large, I mean basket, of fries LOL@pronstar So the underlying issue is your MIL will translate frijoles into beans, even after being told not to, because she refuses to speak Spanish to the restaurant staff?
If so, I think this detail flew over the heads of those blaming you. JMHO.
We are on your side. Just GLAD she is your MIL.It kinda goes back to yesterdays update also, with the large, I mean basket, of fries LOL
It’s all good.
This thread is cathartic for me, it’s my therapy.
