What's for Dinner, Saturday night?

Out to dinner. An Italian restaurant. I had the signature veal dish (veal, champagne sauce, asparagus, mozzarella cheese.)
Fried calamari shared as an appetizer.
Shared cannoli for dessert.

Your dinner sounds fabulous!

Friend and I went down by the farmers market for lunch.

I had smoked sausage links with kraut and their 7 layer salad.

I had a salad with chicken and hard cooked eggs on it, and a side dish of cracker dressing.

It's been dreary all day with rain the last half....that's to change to snow later on.

I had a frozen chicken pot pie. We had a lot of running to do today and was going to go to our favorite barbecue place, but they had a tour bus there and the line was almost out the door. So we went to Chili's. Jody had chicken fried steak and I just had one of the appetizer plates...where you pick three out of about six choices. I have put off buying groceries for several days and Jody said he was not going to go to bed so early tonight, so when we finished feeding the animals, we went back to town and did the grocery shopping. I still need to buy meat, but I get that at Krogers, so I will do that tomorrow. Anyway, came home and put everything away....then decided to have a chicken pot pie. Marie Callenders. It was okay...not as good as home made, but I didn't have to cook it.

Holy cow! I was out in the garage and heard something outside. A lot of garage doors around here (including ours) has a screen across it and works on tracks similar to a sliding glass door. I went over to look out and out of nowhere came an armadillo who casually walked across our driveway and laid down under the downspout next to the garage. Then, here comes another one. Geez, Grand Central Station for the aramdillos around here today. Anybody have a recipe--haha! Mary, gear up--we're all coming for dessert (and maybe some mac and cheese if you have any leftover). That cake sounds delicious. Shirley, your mac and cheese sounds good, too. I'm not too crazy about stuffed peppers but I do like stuffed cabbage. That's a good idea! Jasdip, you really scored on the pork loin. Even $1.88 would be a bargain around here. You can get a lot of meals out of one when there are only two people. Linda, funny you mentioned that Georgia salad with the salmon. I was talking to my sister on the phone this afternoon and she was telling me about a restaurant they went to for lunch one day last week and described that very same salad all the way down to the bacon dressing. They live in Indiana, so I guess they'd have to call it Indiana salad :-) It sounds delicious!

We both had the broiled platter which is our favorite. But we got $50 free, which was really nice and I almost splurged and went for the Maine lobster but I knew it would be way too much food. The platter was too much. I am a member of their select members club which means that you get $25 free on your birthday month, they allow you to go up to 15 days past your birthday month so I just made it. We had planned to go on my birthday while we were in Galveston but we never made it. I also had another $25 free built up on my card. If you like Landrys or any of their many other restaurants that card is such a no brainer, such a great deal, check out the information on the Landrys site. I had a thank you email from them when I got home which also let me know how many points I earned tonight and how many total I have.

I tried two new recipes tonight. Chicken Parmesan salad on hoagie rolls (Rachel Ray made it today) and Bobby Flay's Green Onion Slaw. They were both very interesting. DH liked them. On the other hand, he was probably thrilled to get some food. I only cook a couple times a week these days. Always trying to diet. I don't know how I'd rate these recipes but they were very unique in flavor. No mayonnaise in either one. Just a little E.V.O.O.

Stopping in Florence, S.C. on the way home. Went to an Italian restaurant. The internet gave it 5 stars. i'd give it 2 -3 stars. I've had enough garlic to last for the next six months! The bartender was a delight. We sat and chatted while waiting for a table. He said Florence was nothing but bars and banks, a halfway stop for people travelingÃ¢ÂÂ¦.I think that about sizes it up, but then again, when one is traveling, they don't see much but the interstate and gas stations. DH had linguine with clam sauce, I had stuffed manicotti. Would have been pretty good if not for the over kill on garlicÃ¢ÂÂ¦..and I love garlic so you can only imagine! The salad was delicious.

Georgy'smom, was the restaurant Da Massimo, by any chance? Been through Florence a few (million) times.

I had leftovers of salmon/veggie /pasta salad and Robert broiled a couple of hotdogs. I think the salad was better tonight.

Strange day....it started out kind of warm and humid but started to get a lot colder as the day progressed. I'm downright chilly tonight.

No dinner tonight. We went to a birthday brunch, ate too much, and have been dragging around all day. Neither one of us are used to eating heavily at 10:30 in the morning. Left there and went to Costco since we were close, Fred Meyer (there isn't one here locally) then home and had company for a while.

Brunch was at a casino. The food is good, I had bacon and tomato omelet, more. And I did gamble a little before we left. I had almost lost my $20, won it back so played some more (slots) and that time I did lose it. DH lost his $5 on a penny machine and quit :) We're not gamblers, and I must say, its a lot more fun when I can break even or win a little. My SIL had begun with $200 and was up to almost $700 in winnings when we left, she has more disposable income than I feel I do.
