Somehow, it's just not the same as 'back in the days'...
For one thing, my cost memory is bad. It feels like it costs more now. They have gotten rid of their "After 9pm special", and you can't get just the pasta bar anymore. Mondays are supposed to have Pesto linguine, but they didn't. (Maybe they thought it was Tuesday.)
Anyway, we went for a birthday dinner for Emma. That was our excuse anyway. I used to be able to eat 5 or 6 plates of pasta, now my limit is 2 1/2. The 5 or 6 plates was back in my 6000 calorie a day construction work period. (Not sure how many calories really) Not so anymore.
There were some guys that came in towards the end of our dinner, Tara thought they were being obnoxious. They weren't all that bad, she has no idea how things used to be. Back at our prime, we were the Kings.
We bought the girls a pizza, it's lots cheaper than individual kids meals, and they were still full at the end. Mondays are "Buy a pizza, get free root beer day, so they were happy all around.
Long and the short of it, we waited too long for dinner, took the short way out and ate out.
