Better be a better season than last which was dominated by goonery down the stretch. And someone other than Jimmy Johnson or Kyle Busch.

Yeah, well never mind all that. Did Mamaw enjoy herself? Seriously, me and hubs have been having a bad time with restaurants lately - you get a really great steak, or whatever it is then you go back, looking forward to the occasion, and the steak tastes and chews like they rushed out to Walmart and bought something in that was on clearance in the back of the freezer for 2 years.Just got back from Mamaw's Valentines Supper. Longhorns was crushed again, so we returned to the Napoli Italian Restaurant. Mamaw spoke so well of the Rib eye last week that this time I decided to try the Steak and Shrimp. It was one of the worst cuts on beef ever placed before me. There was a chunk of pure, soft unadulterated fat in the center nearly the size a baseball, and the rest of the steak was marbled with fat and gristle. I asked for medium- well, and one end was burnt to charcoal.
Normally when I am this disappointed, I just won't go back. But this time I had to speak up. I informed the waitress that the service was good, and to add 15% for gratuity, but the steak was really bad. I pointed to the small carry- home box and said "This is for my dogs...", then pointed to the large center chunk of fat, still on the plate, and added "..and this I wouldn't even feed to my dogs." And I calmly added "That was a very poor cut of beef."
She asked me to give her a minute, and left with the check and my card. When she returned, she informed me that the Manager had knocked 10% off of the cost of the meal, and she had taken her gratuity down 5%. As we were leaving, the Manager came to me to ask if everything was OK tonight. I just calmly remarked "pretty good, pretty good."
Don't get me wrong, the rest of the meal was exceptional. And the service, especially when it came to the correction on the bill, was very good.
But if I ever go back, I'll be ordering pasta again.
Years ago I bought a chuck roast from WalMart. I mean, how can you screw up a pot roast, right? I brought it home and I accidentally dropped it on the floor and it bounced. That was the last piece of meat I ever bought from WalMart.Yeah, well never mind all that. Did Mamaw enjoy herself?

Sounds like they had you pegged for a schmuck, Papaw and it went the other way, you weren't. Did you bump the waitress' tip up to 20%? That was pretty nice of her.Just got back from Mamaw's Valentines Supper. Longhorns was crushed again, so we returned to the Napoli Italian Restaurant.

Vermi! How ya doin'? I don't know the answer myself, but it may be 0 mg, from what the recent posts have mentioned.
Been super busy. Went back to school for video production/editing/broadcast news stuff. I've already infiltrated the government by becoming a politician. Phase 2 of my plan for world domination is infiltrating the media.
