Despite having to dodge metalic circuit boards with Lite-Brite images of bird-waving aliens*, I managed to get together with my friend, Jen, for dinner last night. Instead of eating in the North End as we usually we do, we decided to drive out to the exciting city of Everett. Yes, Everett.<\/p>\n
At least, I think it’s Everett. I guess it could be Malden or Medford? Either way, we ate at the gastronomic celebration that is the Texas Roadhouse. MMMMMMMMMMM<\/p>\n
I played it safe with a half rack of ribs (which filled the plate – I can’t imagine what the full rack looks like). Trying to be healthy – especially after their butter soaked rolls which we then covered with even more cinnamon butter – I opted for the house salad and a side of “fresh vegetables”. The salad was healthy enough (aside from the hard-boiled egg)…but the “fresh” vegetables were literally soaking in a small bowl of melted butter. Nasty.<\/p>\n
Still, the ribs (as always…I’d been there before) fell off the bone with no effort. I went home stuffed and watched American Idol.<\/p>\n

*That has to be the stupidest guerilla advertising campaign. Did Turner Broadcasting\/Cartoon Network not think that circuit board looking things with batteries and wires attached to bridges and underpasses\u00a0wouldn’t freak people out in a post-9\/11 world? I’m sure every single blog in Boston is going to write about this today so I don’t want it to be the focus of my blog….but let me just say that I hope Turner\/Cartoon Network get fined up the ass and pays IN FULL the amount of money the state\/city\/transit authority spent investigating these things.<\/p>\n
