Go...I've had some tasty meals at Olive Garden. Gourmet fare? Not hardly. But when a group of family or friends wants to gather, it works. Not every meal needs to be a culinary orgasm.<br /><br />LOVED the Steven King book "On Writing." I listened to the CD version. Usually I HATE "read by author" audio books, but for Steven King I make exceptions. I don't always like his stories but I adore his sentences.Belladonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704410443745252997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-81169509483811638072011-06-16T11:55:40.115-04:002011-06-16T11:55:40.115-04:00People who are self-appointed "betters" ...People who are self-appointed "betters" who want to tell "the masses" what they can and cannot like make me tired. I know food experts who openly enjoy things like Twinkies now and again. Just because you're knowledgeable about something doesn't mean you have to get the vapors every time someone mentions more common fare. (I see this thing in movie buffs, too. Sometimes you can enjoy a movie that a critic would call a big stupid mess. Sometimes the "big stupid messes" are the most fun movies.)fillyjonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016436113169230368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-83312772887555826152011-06-15T13:03:11.910-04:002011-06-15T13:03:11.910-04:00Places like Olive Garden have one big thing going ...Places like Olive Garden have one big thing going for them, sameness. I love food but am sometimes intimidated by non-chain restaurants and some are awful. Knowing what you will get even if it's so/so has a value.csmith2884https://www.blogger.com/profile/11875341022359650085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-60147996022843916382011-06-15T00:13:44.484-04:002011-06-15T00:13:44.484-04:00Great line. :)
