I think one of my favourite chain restaurants has changed their recipes whilst I wasn't looking. One night after we had just moved here I decided the restaurant was close and I wanted Italian Nachos. So I brought some home and settled down happily to eat them. Hmmm. They just weren't as good as I remembered them being.
And recently I decided I really, really wanted their Spicy Shrimp & Chicken and I didn't want to cook it (We got the recipe a few years ago from the guy who created it!). It's one of my favourite meals EVAH! And again I was disappointed. It didn't have the kick I remembered, and it was almost dry, way too little alfredo sauce.
Now maybe it's because we make our own, and we probably add a bit more spice than they do. Maybe I am just used to our version now. But I honestly think they changed their alfredo, and they certainly aren't as generous with it now as they used to be. I will give them this, there was quite a bit of shrimp and chicken in the meal, BUT we used to buy their family platter and have meals for two days. Like everyone else, they have cut back on their portions. That was a bit disappointing as well, because I had hoped to have leftovers for lunch the next day.
Ah well. Now I know. Just buy the ingredients and make it myself ;)
In happier news, I bought my mom a new HP printer yesterday. After the $50 trade in I got for my old printer, the $50 instant savings and the $83 Rewards check I had, it cost me the big $17 and I got free shipping directly to my mother. But the bestest thing: thanks to training with HP I'm going to get $100 rebate! So my mom is happy, and I am even happier, lol.
Anyhoo, better get moving and get ready for work. Ciao!
