Kris, Jessamyn, and Abigail Milo

My dad and step-mom came up for visit this past saturday. We ate at Red Lobster on Wolf Road … I’ve never eaten there before, I was impressed. I’m not a huge seafood lover, but I find that as I get older, more and more food looks good to me.

Anyway, I had the Crab Meat Linguine Alfredo … excellent dish. I got the “lunch serving” rather than the “dinner serving” and it was plenty of food for I think $10.00 (my entree, others were close to this). Atmosphere was nice, service was very good (which is good cuz the place was dead). Everyone enjoyed their food (I think).

I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars (losing 1/2 point cuz I personally don’t love seafood, and cuz the “dinner serving” prices are a little higher than pro and I usually spend).

Jessamyn and I went to the doctor today. Turns out, our baby’s a girl. We’re excited. The ultrasound was cool … the baby was moving around alot while we were watching … very cool.

Houlihan’s (in Crossgates Mall) – 4 out of 5 stars

OK, this restaurant has been a favorite of mine for many years, but I’ll give it a formal review so it can compete at the year end “best of … “. I have to admit, I order 1 of 2 entrees every time I come here – either the Tuscan Lemon Chicken, or the Chicken Fajitas. This past trip was the fajitas, which is why houli’s is losing one star … they’re starting to skimp on the amount of chicken they give you Other than that, the food is always excellent. Cheesy nachos for an appetizer and baked potato soup before your meal are enough to fill you up alone … and they both taste awesome. Price is good – not cheap, not expensive … service was excellent. The waiter memorized 4 orders and didn’t screw anything up. We had a little trouble finding him to get the bill, but no big deal.

In the Name of the King – 1 out of 5 stars

This movie was absolutely terrible. At no point was it even remotely good. If pro and I weren’t there with friends, I would have left. Do NOT go see this movie.
