Olive Garden's Newest Dish

When cooking at home in my 20 years of cooking, I have never cooked a label, a lid, a hairball, or a fingernail into anything that I have ever made. I have cooked for groups as large as 22 before, I have had multiple people helping me, I have been in a hurry, but never has anything strange or bizarre ended up in food that I have prepared.

So how does stuff like this happen in restaurants? I just don't get it. A long time ago a group of friends were eating at "Good Eats" and my best friend Joe Bruner found a hair ball in his food! One time at Pizza Hut there was a lid to a bottle baked neatly into the cheese of our pizza, a friend of mine found what looked like a large toe nail or finger nail in her salad at Taco Bueno, and last night there was a sticker in my lasagna that said, "Use before Sunday" in it. We had the manager come by and take a look and we got free dessert, but that does not excuse the fact that there was a label in my food. This particular label was only about the size of a dime, it could have easily fallen off of something and slipped into the lasagna, but stil- I have made lasagna before and no labels were found in it.

The manager came over and she was like, "well at least you know we use labels and fresh food" and I said, "well, I think I ate one of them already. It was so good, next time I think I will just order a plate of labels!" It was light-hearted and we were laughing, other than that the food was delicious for Olive Garden which I think is the McDonalds of Italian food- but sometimes I like McDonalds.

If you want to see a Great movie this year, see Finding Nemo, if you want to see a swashbucking, adventure with amazing special effects- see The Pirates of the Carribean- it is awesome. I saw it twice this weekend. I won't go into details, just GO- GO NOW!
