Friday Five

Thank you Shannon for borrowing this from another. My turn :)...

This weeks "Friday Five" is 5 of your Favorite Restaurants and what do you get there.

1. OLIVE GARDEN: Calamari, Shrimp Alfredo (with Angel Hair pasta) with their salad (don't like their bread anymore). I love it! It is so delicate tasting and normally, I eat like a bird and can't finish but not only do I finish it (Evan loves to eat it all too!) but I even have room for the YUMMY YUMMY Lemon Creme Cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not so much a Chocolate lover but I do love sweets and the Lemon Creme Cake is light and not too tart but sweet too. YUM! Thank you O.G.!

2. QUIZNO'S: Chicken Carbanara on wheat, yes mushrooms, light bacon. I try not to drink very much soda but they are one of the few places that serve MUG root beer. MMMM..... So I ALWAYS get Mug and Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips, to go. :)

3. RUBY TUESDAY's: GARDEN BAR!!!!!! Enough said. Though... last time I went they didn't have my avocado ranch dressing that I like to drizzle over my regular ranch dressing and I admit to disappointment. But still delicious! I don't like croutons cause they always give me crunch mouth but theirs are crispy on the outside and really soft on the inside. After Evan was born, one glorious person brought us food (thanks Lauren!) and introduced us to R.T.'s Turkey burger. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (also comes as a slider) It is so delicious! It is very juicy and full of flavor. You cannot finish it yourself and even the sliders come as four and you could share with a friend in my opinion. I have had many other of their entree's and always been happy too. Plus I really like the style changes they made a year ago or so, very... cosmo esq.

4. FAT MOE BURGER:'s Hot Wings. I know, that is weird to start naming a burger place then say it's for their Hot Wings but it's true! Mike and I ALWAYS are at odds when it comes to where we want to eat when we get a chance to eat out. On this particular occasion, he was desperately throwing out ideas of where to eat that I would like because as usual I wanted nothing to do with whatever he wanted (don't remember what it was).Also I was beyond starving, like when you haven't eaten all day and have been ravenous but now you've waited so long that you are almost numb to food now? lol. Then he dangled the thought that, you know, you love wings and Fat Moe's now has some...

I digress: Normally my favorite place for wings is HOOTERS. I love their HOT wings and don't like any others in town. I am not ashamed of Hooters or saying I like it but do get really worked up when people and especially high and mighty's *gasp* and say... "Oh my gosh! you go to 'Hooters'???" Are you kidding? Are you really offended by their UGLY-arse outfits? Let's review: fake tans, over processed hair dye jobs, drag queen make up, tight tank with an owl on it, ORANGE 80's JOGGING SHORTS!, dancers TIGHTS!!!!, scrunched 80's socks with Tennis shoes? NOT sexy to me... gag.

... Anyway, a light bulb went off when he said Hot Wings so I agreed... As I mentioned I was beyond starving so when I even just looked at the wings I 'poo pooed' them, even getting angry from lack of sustenance and pushing them away saying they were burnt. Mike felt sooooOOO bad cause he really wanted to get me food but also something I would like. I probably hurt his feelings but by then, I was an animal. lol. Anyway, Mike tried one to see how burnt they were cause in all honesty they really look like they've sat under a heat lamp for an hour after charring them. He looked at me really weird and excitedly said, "they aren't burnt! it must just be the breading/spices they use, they're actually good". I could NOT believe it till I finally tried it. They are delicious! The 'breading' is like nothing I've ever had before. It has the texture of biting a charred Marshmallow from the campfire. All cooked and crispy on the outside and gooey and tender on the inside. Weird all right but so good! I've had Hooters wings since... don't like them. Plus... I can get Fat Moe's wings in the drive thru! LOL.

5. CHICK FIL A: I get the nuggets with "Chick fil A sauce" and always ask for 2 Mayo's and 4 catsup's to mix together and make 'fry sauce' for their yummy waffle fries. Their lemonade... it has crack in it and I'm addicted (not really but I can taste it in my mouth anytime I drive by). Let us not forget their Oreo shake topped with whipped cream and a cherry! Do they know me or do they know me. (though ask my husband, it's a shocker I love an "oreo" shake as i have an aversion to Oreo's by themselves... whole other post for that). The best thing about the shake is it now comes in a medium size so you don't have to get that big huge large one. Old ladies like me can't handle that much anymore. lol.

There you go! Can't wait to see what next weeks subject is! :)
