catalina dressing

The Kraft Catalina was on sale and I wanted to try it. I didn’t think I’d like it, but it’s OK. The Olive Garden is nearly empty.

famous olive garden salad

Posted on October 26, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Wonder where this could be?

World’s greatest salad, and has been for decades.

I’m not having any today, but Olive Garden has a cheap sweet Italian wine called Confetti. Very refreshing. I could turn up the bottle and chug the whole thing without stopping.

Sometimes people ridicule Olive Garden, but I love ’em.

Not authentic? IDGAF.

Slightly exotic, slightly elegant, low price.

I lived off of their takeout all through lockdown summer when I was working away from home. World’s best service.

Salad from Fresh Market. Olive Garden dressing is a Walmart item.

Walmart not only has Olive Garden dressing, they have Taco Bell salsa by the jar. The finer things. 🥂

That’s a cute little espresso machine. It’s tempting me to order something.

I had to look it up.

FAEMA: “Factory Electro Mechanical and Associated Equipment” (“Fabbrica Apparecchiature Elettro Meccaniche e Affini”

Now ya know!

still happy after all these years

Posted on November 7, 2020 by | Leave a comment

To celebrate thirty-one years together, Brian and I went out to eat at Olive Garden.

We had a fun bottle of sweet Italian wine with dinner. Afterwards, I had an espresso, and it was amazingly good, completely yummy, in fact. ☕

Good fun with yummy Brian.
