Where's Dinner?

It was a Friday night tradition in my family when I was growing up to get Roundtable Pizza for dinner. It was pretty much the only time my mom did not have to cook. I have always liked the weekly tradition so Ryan and I have made it a part of our life together too. When we first married I had wanted it to remain the same, pizza, but soon ventured to allow other menus. It still remains that we go out or order in on Friday nights.

Before moving from Michigan a new resteraunt open up called Panera. Panera has freshed baked breads and they are used in their delicous sandwiches. They also have great salads and their bakery goods always look fabulous. We loved Panera! When we moved we found a Panera pretty much down the street from us. Mae loves the place (she calls it 'Anera...sounds like ah-nair-ah) so she always requests we go there on Fridays. We have also found a great little Italian place that serves yummy breadsticks and great pizza. It is a nice little sit-down place where you can order other Italian foods besides pizza, but why would you want to? I think that is my choice for Friday nights. Caleb pretty much doesn't care, he likes them all, and Isabel is just along for the ride (and bits of breadsticks that get thrown her way!). Ryan is a crap shoot. His tastes are always changing, so I never know what he will be in the mood for until he comes home from work that night.

So, the question of the day is......where we will go for dinner tonight?

What will you have for dinner, or where will you go?

We did not carry on that tradition, but there are many times that we do eat out at some point during the weekend. The kids favorite is when I make calzones. They were not happy to find me making Red Clam Chowder for tonight. Oh well! Enjoy your dinner out tonight.

Since you are in the San Diego area, you guys should try to find a Fins and eat their fish tacos. Sooooo good. Perhaps that's one of the reasons it was sad when Randy's parents moved away from Escondido, no more Fins! There's one in Rancho Bernardo and one near the Mormon temple off I-5. It is a challenge to find good Mexican food out here on the east coast.

Now I'm hungry.
