Rolling on in to Sunday, with more beautiful weather today. It’s a bit chilly now but I’ll be opening the windows up in a bit. I need to drag myself out shortly to go to Walmart - I need a few things and to pick up a prescription. I always dilly dally too long and it gets too people-y inside on a Sunday.

Texas Roadhouse was a big hit yesterday and my mom’s friend loved it. I predict we’ll be going back there regularly. I was so stuffed, and we ate so late, that I skipped dinner.

**FCM** and **Metal Mouse** very much agree on the steak house rankings. Quality and consistency has gotten real uneven at the Outback near me so I’ve stopped going. Longhorn is usually pretty good though.

**Taters** there isn’t much worse than some farty dogs. And the hang time for the stench is always unreal.

**Bright Tree** yay for the ballot finally showing up! Sorry to hear the lasagna has ultimately turned out disappointing. That dish is too much work to not turn out well.

**Doggio** add me to the list impressed by your culinary skills. Also, you earn that OT over 5 hours per day!
