New Places, New Faces

Dan's birthday was yesterday, but we didn't have time to catch up with each other between our work schedules. Tonight we went out to dinner at Jameson's Charhouse. We had never been there before so we decided to give it a try. I've read and heard from people that it wasn't as good as Outback, so I had to see for myself.

The first thing I noticed upon walking in was their atmosphere. Definitely nicer than Outback and significantly more elegant.

 

Someone greeted us at the door and walked us over to our table. We looked over the menu while we waited for our waitress to arrive and take our orders. When she came over we ordered our drinks and our meals. Dan ordered a half slab of ribs with a side of fries and chicken noodle soup. I ordered the shrimp fettuccine alfredo and a side salad. The last time we visited Outback we ordered those same main entrees.

The waitress took our orders to the kitchen and came back with a fresh loaf of bread. The bread was great, but definitely not the same as Outback's pumpernickel. We also received our soup and salad and got started on that. I think we waited a good twenty minutes until our meals came out. I have to say the food looked great when it was brought out, but my experience was less than that. The noodles and sauce were delectable, but the shrimp wasn't very good. I thought it tasted kind of fishy. This dish didn't have the spices that the other had. I think I got more food for my money at Outback as well. Though the service was great and the waitstaff was friendly, I don't think I'd pay another visit.

It was nice to try a new place anyway. :)

I made my first sale for the month.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday tomorrow. I will be selling tickets all day to the new Alice in Wonderland. I can't wait to go see it myself! If any of you happen to see it before me, let me know how it was.

Anniversary Details

So after a long day of waiting for Dan to get home from work and school, the two of us went out to dinner at Outback. I have to say some of the proportions were quite small. The pumpernickel was much smaller than I remember and the blooming onion was significantly smaller than the last one we had in December. We also ate at a different Outback during that time, though. Beside all of that our waiter was super friendly and the food was great. We came hungry and left with our stomachs very full.
I took a few photos for the post to try to make up for all of my boring and photo-less posts.

Make up done and ready to go out for dinner.

The blooming onion! Dan's favorite part of the meal.

And for the main course...

When we got home I ordered my new laptop with my tax money and it should be here within the next week. I'm VERY excited for this. I will be sure to take photos as soon as I get it.

I've also made a few sales the past two days. Here is my update on that.

Another watermelon thing!  I actually sold this to two more people besides the other customer from my last post. I wonder what the craze with watermelons is right now.

Is Winter Almost Over?

Well, most of the predictions for winter consisted of not having it much longer. The most famous groundhog disagreed. :( I don't think Phil knows what he's doing this year. It's been getting warmer out and I don't think I can handle it going back to a bitter cold.

I just finished preparing the sauce for my spaghetti dinner tonight. I've got the salad pre-made too. All I have to do is cook the noodles and serve. I think the salad is probably my favorite part of the dinner. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, dried cranberries finished with a Garlic Expressions vinaigrette. Mmmm. :)

Tomorrow is mine and Dan's five year anniversary, so I think we'll do Outback Steak House for dinner. I am definitely looking forward to that! Maybe I will go shopping tomorrow for an outfit for the occasion.

My Zazzle sales are off to a great start this month. Hopefully it will keep up. Here's an update.
