Jan and Feb are our coldest months.
What Tibs is getting hit with:
Winter weather: Virginia and the Carolinas under states of emergency as a snow and ice event arrives - CNN
Going to my favorite chain restaurant tonight: Carrabba's Italian Grill. One of their winter specials is Short Rib Marsala: Tender bone-in short rib served over garlic mashed potatoes and topped with our Lombardo Marsala wine sauce. Served served with choice of a cup of soup or side salad.
That's what the Pepper's getting.
That's what the Pepper's getting.
Carrabba's... 2nd runner up in the award for "Microportions USA".
The winner there being Macaroni Grill. A few years ago, SIX (count 'em,
6!!!) rigatoni strategically arranged on a gigantic plate. NOT manicotti...
RIGATONI, 6. I know the difference and I know what I ordered. At
$15.99. With sauce applied using a squeeze ketchup bottle. I actually
became ANGRY. Who the HELL do they think they are??? Some Michelin
4-star restaurant?
Carrabba's was not much better. FOUR (4!!!) ravioli on a LARGE dinner
plate. They come in second because I asked for the manager to come to
the table and it was removed from the check.
No, see... going to a restaurant does not mean lying back and just accepting
what they put in front of you. That's the job of a Canal Street ..... hooer.
Restaurants have become a really bad, BAD, sore spot with me.
This is ONE rigatoni:
I got SIX for $15.99.
THIS is One (1) ravioli...
Do you see up ^^^ there how one (1) ravioli is able to be presented as a MEAL???
No... see... that is just NOT right.

If I am forking over MONEY for a meal, I expect to be FED.
It can be somewhat substandard, but it cannot be insulting
or overrated at ANY price. $16 for SIX rigatoni? Not likely.
I will call them out until I'm six feet underground.
Same goes for the four Carrabba's rigatoni.
My son- in-law, who is a big guy could not eat the whole meal at said pizza joint. Nice looking fries, chicken, salad, drink. $12
we should be in the clear
maybe an inch or two but not even an advisory up atm!
That would be good.we should be in the clear
