Avocado and a Frosty. Enough Said

This has been a week to meet bloggers. On Thursday I went to a lunch at Wendy's with some local bloggers to try out the new Pick 2 Menu. It was a first for me. Not going to Wendy's, I have one right by my house and go there all the time. Meeting bloggers for lunch was a first. Let me set the scene...

I arrived at Wendy's about thirty minutes early. I realized that no one was there as early as me, so I sat in my car and waited....and looked at the pictures of salads. I may have also drooled, but I'm not admitting anything.

I was pretty set on the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad, but then on the way in the door I saw this sign:

And I knew that there was no way I wasn't going to get that Baja Salad, because I am all about the avocado.

Once inside, I had a sudden realization, how was I going to know who I was meeting? I tried to imagine what a blogger would look like.

And then I saw her. A woman in a pink shirt plugging in a laptop. She had to be a blogger, right? There she was at Wendy's with a laptop. I gathered up all my friendliness and walked over to her, "Hi, my name is Tracie. Are you a blogger?"

She quickly closed the computer and said, "No. I'm not one of those. I'm just looking at my wedding pictures."  She seemed, slightly scared. I wonder if she knows what a blogger is? (Moments like this are why bloggers should wear shirts that identify them as such at all times)

I tried to put her at ease by telling her I was a blogger and was there to meet other bloggers for lunch and when I saw her with the laptop I just assumed.....but that didn't seem to make her feel any better. Her husband arrived at the table with their food and I went off in search of more people to scare bloggers. Thankfully Jessica and April arrived shortly after that and saved the day.

Lured by the thought of avocados, I ordered the Baja Salad off of the Pick 2 Menu, which also has chili, pico de gallo and tortilla strips. It comes with a creamy red jalapeño dressing, but I don't normally like spicy dressings, so I asked to swap it out for the avocado ranch dressing- yum! For my second item I got a Frosty.

Let me just say here, that the salads are described as being half sized, but they were bigger than what I expected and by the time I had finished mine I was pretty full...but not so full that I didn't eat every single drop of that Frosty, because not finishing a Frosty should be a crime.

The food was yummy and it was fun to meet some nice bloggers too.

I didn't get pictures of all the bloggers because I was too busy slurping up every last drop of that Frosty because there was so many of us.





Here is some fun news. Wendy's gave me an extra gift card that I am going to pass on to one of you. It is for $7, and with the Pick 2 Menu being $4.99 you can get a salad and a Frosty and still have enough left over for another Frosty (really you can get whatever makes you happy, there are are potatoes and other things there, but I can't imagine passing up a Frosty!)

Leave a comment (or two, or ten, or twelve-you know you want some Frostys!) and I will randomly pick a name next Saturday to send the gift card too. I will email the winner, so please make sure your email is enabled in your profile or is in your comment. That way I can get in touch with you without having to employ the use of smoke signals.

*I was given free lunch thanks to Wendy's and The Motherhood and I was compensated for my time. There was no requirement to say nice things and the opinions are all mine. 
**I pulled a name out of a hat and the winner is One Cluttered Brain. She has 48 hours to send me her address so I can mail her the gift card.
