I'm trying to meet the goal this month.
I’ve been very busy today, posting articles on MyLot. But, now I have to get dressed and get ready to go out to dinner with some friends.
I’m going to pick up my daughter and we are going to meet my friend, Mike, (who does the Flea Market selling) and his wife. I have a whole trunk and back seat full of things to give him for the Flea Market. And he can transfer all the bags and boxes to his truck after we eat. I’m still cleaning out my “office” and my son cleaned out things from the laundry room last week, so there are a lot of things. What Mike doesn’t think he can sell, he takes to the Goodwill for me.
We’re going to dinner at Olive Garden, which I really enjoy. Not sure what I’m going to order yet. I understand they have new menu items, so I think I will try something new.
We eat there for lunch quite often, and I always order the “soup, salad and bread sticks.” I like the “Zuppa” soup. I will order DINNER though this evening. I’m looking forward to it.
Have you ever eaten at Olive Garden?

I did enjoy my dinner but couldn't eat it all. I had to bring most of it home, because I had to have some "zuppa". It's so good but it filled me up. I brought the pasta in marinara sauce with shrimp home. I'll eat it tomorrow or the next day. I have been invited to lunch tomorrow.

@JudyEv Yes, I wanted to try the pasta dish. It was a new menu item, but I shouldn't have eaten the zuppa. Or maybe I should have just ordered the zuppa. I can't eat much anymore at one sitting. I get full too fast.

@IreneVincent Pasta with shrimp sounds nice! I don't know what we're having for dinner. Vince has some chicken out so chicken something or other I guess.

Those Saturday market places are some of the best places to be.

@softbabe44 Fresh local vegetables are the best. So many of the vegetables in the grocery stores come from other countries. I prefer local vegetables.

Olive Garden is a restaurant if that's what you were referring to. I love open air vegetable markets though and we have plenty of those around during the harvest seasons.

Yes, sometimes the wait is even longer. And it was Saturday night. A lot of Americans go out to eat on Saturday night, so all the popular restaurants are busy.

This restaurant is very popular here. We had to wait over 30 minutes to get a table. The place was VERY busy this evening. We all enjoyed the meal though. It was great!

I don't really know if that particular chain of restaurants (Olive Garden) is in the UK or not. They are very popular here in the USA or at least in my area.

Olive Garden was super tonight. I had some "zuppa" after all and then ordered some pasta with marinara sauce and shrimp. It was sooooooo good. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat it all and had to bring it home. I have a luncheon tomorrow, so I'll probably eat it the next day. I hope it will keep.

@lexiconlover I will eat it today for lunch. It should be fine. I shouldn't have had the zuppa, but it's so good. I couldn't resist and that sort of filled me up and I couldn't eat the meal. I probably should have just ordered the zuppa and nothing else. Oh well, live and learn.

I hope you enjoy your meal at Olive Garden! I have been there a few times, I prefer Carabbas though.

We have a Carabbas Restaurant just a few miles away. I've eaten there a few times, but I don't care for their sauces because they use to much oregano, for my taste. My daughter likes Carabbas.

That sounds like a nice restaurant. It's good to try different stuff from the @menu.

I'm always ready to go when someone suggests the Olive Garden Restaurant. They have really good food. The restaurant was very crowded this evening. We had to wait for over 30 minutes for a table.

I love the "zuppa" at Olive Garden and had to have some this evening.... It was so good with the garlic bread sticks, but then I couldn't finish my pasta dish and had to bring most of it home. Oh well, I'll eat it tomorrow.
