Olive Garden

I completely forgot to write about going to Olive Garden in Time Square Friday. It was a work lunch, so 5 of us went out and what better place than Olive Garden! Three of us at the lunch all hail from Ohio originally and so we headed back to our roots where we could feel like "family". I guess Olive Garden has been a long running joke at work since before I got there and I just happened to tag onto the realization of it.
There were plenty of fried menu items to go around, but I think we only ended up with three; and they were all on the appetizer plate. That consisted of fried mozzarella, fried zucchini and fried calamari. After our fried platter we got to enjoy some endless bread sticks and salad. Then our meals came out; I had the lasagna. I learned my lesson from last time I went to Olive Garden, don't stray from the basics. I got the fish last time and it was so gross I don't even think I made it half way before giving up and sticking with the salad and bread sticks.

And wait there is more. We also had some pumpkin cheesecake and lemon cake to top the whole afternoon off. Then we did some sightseeing in Time Square before heading back to the office. No, we really didn't do that. In fact we left time square as quickly as possible and walked back to the office where there would be less tourists. And since it was a Friday afternoon there were plenty of tourists to go around. I hope you enjoy the picture of a fully stuffed to the gills crew!

I ate my weight in cheap "Italian" food; that doesn't mean I am also feeding a growing baby.
