I had the chicken parm which came with a side of pasta and tomato sauce. We had an appetizer, so I only had a few bites of my entree. The appetizer was lasagna frites (sp?) They had both tomato sauce and cream sauce--were very good! Brought my entree home.

I almost had the lasagna, though. It's so much work to make at home that it's worth getting it when dining out.

I didn't have a drink but my friend did. She had some big pink drink that had salt around the rim. All kinds of things like umbrellas, fruit on spears, etc. to dress it up. Believe me, it was such a pretty drink I sat there watching and questioning--maybe I should get one. But the truth of the matter is, I don't like alcohol. I just love kombucha, though, and was craving one the entire time.

Oh, and the salad! It was perfect, with crispy lettuce, lightly dressed.

Yeah, make some new friends so you can go out to Olive Garden and have some fun in the new year!
