Recently I got food from a place and checked the order: three entrees? Check. Two bags of breadsticks? Check. We’re good to go.

When I got home - a 20-minute drive away - one of the entrees was made wrong. It was supposed to be vegetarian spaghetti (for my vegetarian daughter), but was instead meat lasagna.

Sometimes

While I agree that this video is terrible, the slang they are using doesn’t seem particularly “black” to me.  It’s all crap I’ve heard from my own (caucasian) kids and from morons on reality TV shows.

Sesame sticks (in a trail mix, if necessary) and salt and vinegar almonds.

I made my kids watch this a few weeks ago after I bought some of these “fake” TGIFriday’s tater skins.  This song never leaves.  It just resides in my brain.

I was born in Tulsa and visited the Casa Bonita and Crystal’s there multiple times as a kid! Small world!

I remember loving Crystal’s because they showed movies in one of the dining areas.  I have a really vivid memory of watching Dumbo while eating pizza and getting sad at the movie.

To be fair, most people who are against gay marriage don’t think LGBTQ people are “less than human.” It is considered a sin in many religions, and any intellectually honest religious person would agree that they commit their own sins. Thus LGBTQ people aren’t less human, just engaging in behavior the religious person

It’s nice to meet a fellow Local Guide. I just like to write, really. I don’t think I’ve ever left a 1-star review - usually I can find something I like about a place. But I have left a couple of “This would have been five stars if the prices were lower” or similar. My main criteria is “was this meal worth the price I

I live in a suburb of Portland. This is another suburb 15 miles south on I-5. I was, until recently, dating a woman from this other suburb and we were both excited when this place opened up. It is a chain that we both enjoyed when we lived elsewhere (me in Kansas, her in Utah) so when it opened I would drive to town

LOL.  Exactly.  I’m definitely not a troll.  But I’m not afraid to complain when I don’t get what I paid for.

Oh, also they had just opened, so I expected problems.  It takes a while to find a rhythm sometimes.

My kids love the place and it is affordable for all of us, so I keep going back.  Plus the breadsticks...  So good.

There is one in the Wichita, KS, airport.  It is closed on Sundays.  And I think there’s one in the Denver airport.

I am a “Google Local Guide” (some random title they gave me for writing reviews) and I review restaurants for fun. I do so for one of two reasons: the food/service/price are excellent and I recommend the place, or the food/service/price were terrible and I recommend people find a different place to spend their money.

I have regular lunch meetings with attorneys. They usually either bring in Thai food (vegetarian Pad Thai, a fried rice dish, lettuce wraps, etc.) or have a small Mexican bar with build-your-own soft tacos or burritos with chips and salsa.

Both work great for meetings.

I suffer from misophonia. Last night - literally - I went to see Captain Marvel, but a couple came and sat directly behind me and started crinkling food wrappers loudly and chomping on popcorn. I couldn’t take it and had to leave the theater.

Ugh. It’s the worst, because I know, consciously, that I’m the one with the

I’m a male. So you won’t listen to me. But this point of view is close-minded and ridiculous.

“Unless you are a homeless person yourself, you should shut up about homelessness. It isn’t your business.”

“Unless you live in Afghanistan, you have no right to an opinion about the U.S. being in a war there.”

“Unless you have

I dislike tomatoes, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the “fruit.” Nothing should have slimy seeds like the tomato has that get stuck everywhere. And nothing should have skin that comes off in little strips that curl into little spears that hang out in marinara sauce.

It is completely a texture thing.  I

My dad taught us to put peanut butter on saltines and crunch it all up in tomato soup. It is sooo good. We do the same with chicken noodle soup.

I grew up in Kansas.  Maybe it’s a regional thing...?

Of *course* it doesn’t always apply. This is one random internet person’s column about their own experiences.

I am 42 with five kids, and my wife divorced me and married my best friend. I guarantee you my perspective on divorce and dating after divorce is a lot different than Claire’s. I’m more concerned with finding

I have a copy of the Wii version if you want to buy it.  I don’t have a Wii or Wii U anymore, so I haven’t played it in a while.
