The girls read their books while waiting for our lunch to arrive.
We were just at the the library and before that at Jasmine’s weekly gymnastics class.

Pretty Cake
We had a lunch at Olive Garden today – thanks to a gift certificate from my parents. I had to take a photo of this beautiful chocolate cake. It tasted good too.
Ice cream
Since we had a lite dinner, a good hearty dessert was in order. I’ll admit, Stone Cold Creamery is not my first place for ice cream. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good ice cream, but too buttery creamy. Still, I remembered that they had birthday cake flavor and was pleased to see they still carried it. Jasmine got chocolate of course. Jeff mooched. And Jasmine didn’t disappoint with a massive chocolate mustache. She may be fours years older now but she still digs into her ice cream.
Food Aventure – Fireside Grill
We were looking for a new place to eat. So Jeff looked through his supply of coupons and settled on “BJ Willy’s Wood Fire Pizza and Pub”. Wood fire pizza sounded pretty good. We ignored the “BJ Willy’s” part. I mean, seriously…
It had a nice ambiance, lots of windows and the outside view was especially nice. Jeff loved his clams and mussels spicy dish, with a nice garlic bread. Jasmine tried her first clam and as you can see from the video, I think it will be awhile before she tries it again.
As for the rest of the meal — soggy salad and run of the mill tenders. We of course also got the fire grilled pizza, which sounded a lot better than it was. I think they stoked the fire a little too much as half of it was burnt. And it was ridiculously overpriced. Maybe being from the East coast and visiting New York quite a bit I have standards, but how difficult can it be to make a decent slice of pizza? And if you have ‘pizza’ in the name of your restaurant, you might want to put a little effort in creating them. But I digress….
Later on, when telling a friend about the place she commented that they are known for their macaroni and cheese dish. I recall seeing more than one table had mac and cheese on it. Maybe change the name?
Big Eyes
I took Jasmine to her eye checkup today. She had a tough time deciding on new frames.
She insisted I take a photo of her giant ‘dilated’ eyes. She found it quite freaky.
