I took Angela to Olive Garden for her birthday. Yuck. But, she wanted to go.
She was only able to eat a couple of bites of her fettuccine because the
breadstick and salad filled her up. She did bring it home where she promptly
had an accident, dropping it all on the floor.

I had part of an order of whole wheat linguine with meat sauce. I mostly ate
the meat sauce which I don't really like but the pasta was severely lacking
salt and for me, overcooked. I left most of it behind. No salad as there is
too much in it that I can't eat. And it comes already mixed with the carrots
so, no go. Only other thing they have that would have been an option for me
was soup but it's oddly higher in carbs than the pasta and IMO not very
good.

Thankfully I don't have to go there very often. In general, restaurant pasta
is just not worth paying for. And it's so cheap and easy to make at home.

Tomorrow, husband and I will have leftover meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
Angela will likely go out somewhere. She got a lot of gift cards and such.
