Dinner Out

Last night, we had dinner at the Corner Pub and met up with Sean & Val, Freddy and Mark, who was visiting from RI and bunking with S&V while in the DC area. Tonight, we're planning on cashing in the GC Freddy gifted me for my 40th. That's right... we're goin' to The Palm! I've been to the one in Philly before, but not to the one where Freddy and Gus (his ex-brother-in-law) hang out (at Tyson's II). I believe Freddy and friend, Lynn, will be joining us, along with William and his October b-day Palm GC.

When I went to the one in Philly, I had salmon. Even though I was being treated to dinner by my friend, Mike, I ordered one of the more "economical" items on the menu. Didn't want to be a greedy date, you know. It was quite delicious, but not the fancy thing you tend to think of when you hear "The Palm". Mike's sister-in-law ordered a lobster. The last time I inquired about a lobster was at Ruth's Chris. The waiter quoted us a price of $33 per pound and their lobsters are about 3 - 5 pounds each. "O-kaaaay," I said. I ordered a steak instead. One of the best steaks I ever had in my life! So no disappointments there.

I can't imagine it. $100??? For a lobster? John often says, "It's only money, Love. I make more everyday." Maybe tonight. Another 40th celebration. With a lobster gifted to me by Freddy...

UPDATE: We're having a nice homecooked (by Lynn) meal at Freddy's instead of going to the Palm tonight. $100 lobster will have to wait.
