Just not long enough…

Spring break definitely came and went too quickly. I’m sacked with all the midterms that the teachers decided to save for after break…when my brain doesn’t function. As short as it was, break was just what I needed. Didn’t do very much, but went to dinner at Maggiano’s at Tyson’s… definitely overrated. They have a family style special where you get to order two appetizers, entree’s, pastas, desserts and what not and it comes like an all you can eat sort of deal. It’s for around $22 a person, and there were only 4 of us, so we decided it wouldn’t be worth it. Though they gave extremely large portions, the quality was far from what I wanted. I got the Chicken Pesto Linguine and subsituted with wheat penne. It sounded awesome on the menu, unfortunately my pasta was way over cooked and the chicken was rather dry. My friends had better luck with Rigatoni’D. Their chicken was less dry (though I still thought it was a little on the dry side) but I thought the pasta was still overcooked. I wish I remembered the type, but I had a delicious pino grigio with my meal. $6 got me half a glass of wine, but I think it was worth it cuz I probably wouldn’t have made it through my meal without it. This is a no go again. I would’ve much rather spent the extra $5 to go to Il Pizzico. For dessert, we ran over to tysons I for coffee and frozen yogurt. They have a frozen yogurt stand called Yogen Fruz… and it really wasn’t worth the trip. Though the guy was rather entertaining and educated about his yogurt, the fruit was far from fresh. Yogurt is always good though. But in these cases, it’s the fruit that counts. So lesson learned, don’t go to the mall for dinner or dessert.

  Good to know. Thanks for the warning. I thought you had made that pesto chicken when I first saw that picture. hehe
