Fam Fieldtrip 3: Fine Dining and Fine Entertainment

I'm a big fan of outings with the Fam! Madeline and I rallied the troopes for a fun night out on the town! This week at work a rep from Planet Hollywood came by with comp-ed tickets for a few shows playing there.
I came home told Mark, Victoria and Matt and we decided to make a night of it! We called up Dad and Ruth and got all gussied-up and decided to go to dinner before the show.
We saw "The Ultimate Variety Show" which ended up being better than anticipated!


We chose a lovely Tuscan Grille at Town Square called Brio. It was FABULOUS! I even had my first Pork Chop with the bone still in-Que Fancy!


Matt and Chrystal chose a Steak with Gorgonzola and other fancy ecoutrements (no clue how to spell that!) The waiter looked rather surprised that Chrystal wanted ketchup for her Steak!



Dad and Ruth made excellent choices as well and even sprung for the best appetizers EVER! Shrimp on a piece of Eggplant in some kind of magically delish sauce. There was prob some high brow name for it! I also give five stars to their Spinach and Artichoke Dip!



Markie chose a Chicken Limon with Capers!


Don't know how to remove this duplicate picture! Sorry!



Opportunities like this should come my way more often! So call me up and we'll go on our own lil' Fieldtrip! The more the merrier!

Hood Rat Thousandaire The Movie

Coming Soon to a Theatre near you!

A new movie starring the famous actor Markie Warren Jr. in his most daring role yet. Please turn off all cell phones and return your seat to it's full upright postiton.

A tale (or tail) of a young man born into poverty who goes to a family party where he participates in a game show, of sorts (it was actually a cart wheel and head stand contest) where he takes top honors in the break dancing division. (He was the only entry in that category, but that is not important.) He then breaks out of the poverty he was destined to and buys a little house in the suburbs where he raises chickens and bunnies and dogs and collects rocks and rusty tin cans. (It sure sounds a lot like the same place he was born.) Oh, well. That is just the denoument. The End. That's all folks!
