点评:Although my Turkey cranberry sandwich was absolutely delicious, and the outdoor seating was so beautiful… I’m sad to say that I had a very disappointing situation happen after my meal. I am a preschool teacher - and was being treated to a birthday lunch- where my sweet student was interested in looking at the herb gardens. I took the opportunity to bring some learning to the smell and recognition of the herbs. I would take the tiniest sample and let her smell them and talk about what they were called and how they are used in our meals. It was such a fun time together. I was then approached by a staff who came and asked me to stop picking any of the herbs as they need all of them and didn’t want them all gone! I was absolutely stunned by this- as we likely had less than a tablespoon worth in all of our samples. What started as something beautiful- became something really shocking. I absolutely would not have had a problem if he saw a bunch of us just taking advantage and abusing this garden- but I was incredibly careful to supervise this one child and would never have done this. (And also- the herb garden is massive and had more herbs than ever).
Her mother was watching us happily and then also so stunned when we were approached in this way . All I said was thank you- as I didn’t even know how else to respond to this man.
It left a very negative ending to what started as an amazing time in a beautiful place.
翻译:虽然我的土耳其蔓越莓三明治非常美味,户外座位也很漂亮……但很遗憾,饭后发生了一件非常令人失望的事情。我是一名幼儿园老师,那天有人请我吃生日午餐,我可爱的学生对香草园很感兴趣。我抓住机会,让她学习了一些香草的气味和识别方法。我会取一小块香草让她闻,并跟她讲解它们的名字以及它们在我们的饮食中是如何使用的。那是一段非常有趣的时光。后来,一位工作人员过来告诉我,不要再采摘任何香草了,因为他们需要所有的香草,不想把它们都用完!我被这番话惊呆了——因为我们所有样品中的香草量可能还不到一汤匙。一开始美好的事情变成了令人震惊的事情。如果他看到我们一群人滥用这个花园,我绝对不会介意——但我非常小心地监督着这个孩子,绝不会这样做。 (而且——香草园很大,香草比以往任何时候都多)。
她妈妈高兴地看着我们,当我们以这种方式接近时,她也惊呆了。我只说了声谢谢——因为我甚至不知道还能如何回应这个男人。
这给原本在一个美丽地方度过的美好时光画上了非常糟糕的句号。
