A birthday dinner

Lizzie signed up for a birthday offer from Black Angus, which was a "free" steak dinner with the purchase of another entree of the same or higher price. All good.

So on Thursday, still her birthday week, we went to Black Angus.  We found out that the free dinner was for up to $20, but we wanted rib steaks and they were$32 each, so we decided to have the Campfire Feast dinner for two, and they would deduct the $20 from the total price.

Here's what we had:

Sweet molasses bread, and cheesy bread (a winner!)
Lizzie had the ribeye steak with fries and macaroni and cheese
I had the ribeye steak with loaded baked potato and grilled asparagus
For dessert we had NY cheesecake with strawberry sauce.
I had a white sangria that didn't taste like sangria but was very good anyway.

The meal was excellent, one of the best rib steaks I had for a long time. Perfectly cooked and tender.
We were very full and satisfied.

For Thanksgiving, we decided we'll go to El Cholo, since neither one of us likes a traditional turkey dinner. I may make a pecan pie :)  Norbert came back from Las Vegas but he  was not feeling too great because he thinks he ate some romaine lettuce from Salinas, that had been in the news because some people got ecoli from eating them and there was a warning not to eat romaine.

I told him of our plans for Thanksgiving and asked him to join us, he said he would come because he didn't want to be by himself on Thanksgiving. Hopefully he'll feel better by then :)

Sandy and family got back from warm Mexico and back to snowy Utah!
