Well I don't know WFD. Fran crashed hard once we got to our hotel room and mentioned skipping dinner. She walked me all over creation (while she rode her scooter) and hit 10,000 steps today (for the second day in a row). I need dinner! If nothing else, I'm going out on my own to some mega chain restaurant!

Hope you had a good dinner, Alison.

Uni Friends Dinner


This was dinner from the other night, when I caught up with my friends from Uni days.

It's been *mumble, mumble* years since we all started Uni! It was a great night catching up with friends over dinner at the local pub that we all used to hang out at.....AFTER classes, naturally! The food was a lot better than we remembered it.

Including kids, there were over 20 of us for dinner. I didn't get everyone's meals....it was hard enough just grabbing these without holding the hungry horde up.




No prizes for guessing who ordered the Fish and Chips.







The chicken parmagiana. Yup. It WAS the whole chicken on that plate.






I ordered the Espagnol Paella. Chicken, chorizo, shrimp. YUM!






The lamb pie smelt divine!






Veal scallopini.







DH ordered the calamari fritti. This was lovely and tender.






DH and I also shared the zucchini and eggplant fries. This was sooooo good!







And I was too busy enjoying dessert to get more than 2 snaps in,

The tira misu was on the table next to me.








My creme caramel......or flan de queso....depending on which language you spoke. It came with a brandysnap filled with ricotta cream. O.M.G.!!!









Dinner was really lovely and we all had a great night!

Good morning all!!

PIO ~ O. M . G. your food porn is amazing. What a show. I am so glad you had a nice evening with your Uni friends. I just had a really good friend that I graduated HS with, come in. He has moved back to be with his elderly Mother. It was and will be good to catch up with him.

Alison ~ I can't wait to hear of your road trip. I know you and Fran will have a great time. Safe travels my friends.

Man, I am pooped this morning. As the saying goes, I need a vacation from the vacation. We went non stop this weekend and I slept with Lilly (I use that statement very lightly ). That little bugger is all over the bed and then loves to cuddle. So I really didn't get much sleep.

We shopped a lot and ate out good. Matthew and Stephanie ran the Lincoln 1/2 Marathon yesterday and both ran their personal bests. I was pretty proud of them!! We didn't leave Lincoln till 8:30 last night as the kids wanted it to be at Lilly's bedtime. But I didn't get home till 11:15 and bless Doug's heart he wanted to talk. So it was a very short night.

WFDT ~ Steak salads, bread sticks and sweet tea.

Make it a great day!

...how do you make those?

 

[kimmar067]

....or are they 'premade' and you just heat/cook them?

 

[PrincessInOz]

I have such a %!$%& day at work today. I hate last minute issues that are completely unnecessary. We are one week out from delivering a program. We were so under control it was not funny.....until today. *sigh*

WFDT? I decided to have the leftover soup instead of potatoes.

Sorry about work! Hope today gets better, and I so understand...

I am a PM for software development, and I plan for everything and I hate it when someone throws a wrench in for no reason!

I had, lettuce, tomato, onion, red bell pepper, cucumber, and avocado with them and it was perfect for me.

I was never that high on the food chain as you ladies, but I always had my projects planned out and totally understand the frustration when someone comes in and changes something unnecessarily. Usually it was upper management who has no clue about what we were doing, they just said "make it so!"
