[cheerbren]

We ate at Chuck E Cheeses with the kids.

[Cider Jim]

Mrs. Cider bought me Applebee's Car-side To Go:
--steak & shrimp
--mashed potatoes
--onion rings

[JDUB]

i'm about to eat mine late. velveeta shells and cheese

[Sly Fox]

I spent way too much tonight on these entrees at a local trattoria ...



That's grilled red snapper and more on Mrs. Sly's plate. I was all about the pasta tonight. And I am paying for it right now.

Then after dinner we joined a surprisingly older crowd at a Steven Curtis Chapman concert at our church. It all meant I survived another Valentines Day with my marriage still intact.

[mrmacphisto]

I ran to Taco Bell on my break for a couple Spicy Chicken Burritos.

[jmdickens]

wishing my wife and I were back in Texas we decided to eat Mexican

[Knucklehead]

We had Buffalo Wild Wings. What she wanted! Really!
Mallet, I have to ask, what is that? I know it's meat and Taters, but what kind of meat?

[blwall1416]

The wife & I dined on Thai 99. Man, that's good stuff.

[Hold My Own]

99's great stuff...have you been to the Peruvian place downtown? Micci Picchu (sp?) some of the best meals I've ever had

[RubberMallet]

its a t-bone steak.

i had filet of ribeye in my freezer that i was goign to use....2 10 oz steaks that would cost darn near $30 bucks a piece if you were to buy them in a specialty shop (they were given to me as a gift. i dry aged 2 rib roasts for a guy and this was what he paid me in)

but when i went to the butcher to get to my lump crab he said he had some ridiculously marbled t-bones in. i told him i didn't need much though so he gave me the 2 ends for 3bucks a lb...so the 2 steaks cost 7 bucks...

t-bone steak w/ bearnaise sauce, asparagus, carmalized shallot mashpotatoes...

total cost?

like 20 bucks.

[Knucklehead]

Thanks! All that sauce and Asparagus was in my way!
Are you a chef or something?
When are you getting you own food network show?

[RubberMallet]

nope very much a novice...

[Knucklehead]

nope very much a novice...

Was the wife pleased? Withe the meal I mean!

[RubberMallet]

yup....i'm not a huge bearnaise sauce guy...she loves it...

[RagingTireFire]

So. You guys bring cameras to the dinner table often?

[RubberMallet]

are camera sits on the kitchen counter about 80% of the time...its the easiest place to find it...

[PAmedic]

We ate at Chuck E Cheeses with the kids.

awful place. Ever notice how , not only does it smell like a locker room- but the walls actually are damp with kid-sweat by the time you get outta there 4 hrs later?

nasty

OUR!

[PAmedic]

Went to a late lunch w/ my beautiful wife; I had the Grilled Rosemary Chicken over mashed red potatoes with broccoli and a Caesar salad. Of course, I had to go with the sampler desert.

MrsPA was evidently happy with her pot roast, Caesar salad, & coffee bomb

NO KIDS = Nice afternoon

no but i notice that by the end of the night you've spent 50 bucks, you've eaten terrible pizza and your kid has a handful of tootsie rolls and rubber dinosaurs..."they only cost 5 tickets!" nevermind that to aquire those 5 tickets you spent 5 bucks..

[PAmedic]

same for those awful places on the boardwalk.

(for mid-westerners: "Boardwalk" = "shore" = "beach")

[Sly Fox]

As for the camera at the meal, I get grief from Mrs. Sly and most of my family for taking pics & video of quality meals. Yeah, I know it is sad. But i like to capture quality work when I see it.
