Mother's Day Restaurant Happenings
For Mother's day Jose and I took his mom out to dinner on Saturday, May 10th, which is Mexican Mother's day (for those of you who like me until recently were Hispanic Holiday's challenged, Mexican Mother's Day is always May tenth unlike US Mother's day which is always the second Sunday in May -- sometimes they're the same day, but not often. I think next year they will be). We went out to Carmine's in Arcadia, it's just great Italian food. Then on Sunday Jose and I and Jim and Stacy took My mom and Stacy's mom (and dad) out to a cute restaurant in Laguna called "the beach house". It was a very popular place and good food... but have you ever had a waiter that just didn't get it? It actually became a funny experience (only funny upon reflection by the way, not at the time). Let's just say that at Denny's I get better service. Including a cleaner bathroom. It's probably a lovely place on a non-holiday, but I am just plain restauranted out. I think Dad's get it better on Father's day. It's really hard to screw up a BBQ in your own back yard. The parking is good, the food is cheap, and the bathroom is nearby.Who's with me?

We avoid restaurants on holidays at all costs. We used to go out every St. Valentines Day, but soon learned the error of our ways. Extreme wait times, crummy service provided by haggard staff, cold food. No thanks. Now we bring home a nice rib eye steak and do our own Valentine dinner & movie.
Hey Jill!
I have to agree that restaurants and holidays are a no go. We like to do take out from a favorite restaurant for Valentine's Day. Good food, good company, no crowd! :-) And yes, Dad's have it better with a good old bbq in the back yard. Who doesn't love that?
