This particular stoner chose an Italian dressing.

“I had the pretzel sticks and an ice cream brownie thing the pretzels were really good. They only give you three but it was enough for me.” They devoured three spoonfuls between thoughts.

“Eating out vegetarian can be hard but there’s always dessert.”
