See? There's that pesky "reliability" problem taken care of right there.
This way you keep them on their toes, Perkins. They'll never know quite what to expect from you.
Both very good points. Of course, if the fact that it took me three plus hours to deliver an article to one of the senior partners on Friday due to problems with the mail, the mail room, and the internet connection, I'm not sure this will either.
Want to be horizontal.
Are you yet?
Fortunately, I'm going to Canada in 2 days.
YAY!
I am in receipt of a $50 certificate for TGI Friday's.
I'm still not sure what to do with it.
Kat needs a place to have her b-day party....
Happy hour on ita! I was just craving chicken fingers.
See!

I want a very large draft and for someone to cluestick a few people in Chicago.
Do you have them yet?
I like Olive Garden. I'm a philistine.
Me too. I don't think it qualifies as Italian any more than Panda Express qualifies as Chinese, but it does have some yummy food.
You still suck though.
I'm with those who rather enjoy Olive Garden but won't call it genuine Italian food.
See! Fred Pete is wise.
Buca di Beppo is the ninth circle of HELL.
I had fun the one and only time I went, but that was because I got to meet Laura, there were cute waiters, and I got to see ita and Kat react to the enforced fun.
eta: Plei, I just violated my one paragraph rule. Help!
BdiB is evil, but the thing they call Tiramisu (it ain't) is actually tasty, unlike the thing they call Tiramisu at TOG.
Argh, I really want a copy of Food Fads now. Curse this Chop Suey talk.
I am suffering from Drama overload. Teen Titans, JLU, and HP6.
Teen Titans and JLU *rocked* hard this week.
Have read first 10 chapters of HP6. **SPOILER** I loved when the guy did the thing with the stuff. That was cool.

Well, crap. No reason to read any more. Thanks a lot.
the thing they call Tiramisu (it ain't)
My aunt makes a chocolate tiramisu which might not be authentic but is so good it will make you cry.
My friend Heather went into labor (her water broke) at a Chuck E. Cheese, which she says was providential, as her 4-year-old and his best friend were too mesmerized by the cartoons to worry about the people bringing Mommy water and the sudden arrival of Dad and neighbor to take them home and whisk her to the hospital.

And then! There was the part with the characters and the interpersonal conflict -- I was on the edge of my seat!

That's some sort of trick, isn't it? Those "ninth circle of hell" posts are tipping me off.
Is that really the impression of Houston yo want me to have?
lasagna (with cottage cheese instead of ricotta).
Barf! Blech!
Cheese wise, and lasagna wise, there's not a huge difference. The cheeses are similar. The biggest difference is probably curd size and iirc, the oven makes that less noticeable. I only use ricotta, but I've had the cottage cheese sort, and provided the sauce is okay, it's fine, provided you mix in garlic, parsley, and eggs, like you would with the ricotta.
I've never even heard of Buca di Beppo. It sounds made up.
Me, neither, and it does. We have so many good, Italian restaurants in the area (because we have a large Italian-American population) that I've never been to too many chain Italian restaurants. I have tried the Macaroni Grill, twice. It's not bad. I've never seen an Olive Garden. I've seen plenty of ads; I just can't recall driving by one, anywhere.
We had Peter Piper Pizza, which is similar to CEC. I can see how it would be the 9th circle of hell, but kids really do adore it.
