You make me laugh and I don't like to lurk, so I thought I would comment.<br /><br />Hubby and I live in the hood of the Heartland and after all of the hype decided to finally try it last year for my 40th birthday.<br /><br />Huge mistake.<br />1. We only go out, alone, to a nice place, once per year - so going there turned out to be a disappointment.<br />2. To also pick the one night we go out, alone, to a nice place for my 40th birthday - going there turned out to be a HUGE disappointment.<br /><br />After spending $120 and leaving STARVING, yet slightly tipsy from the overpriced bottle of wine - we went to Mickey's and scarfed down eggs and hash with the homeless friendly people downtown. <br /><br />Now THAT was good time and worth every penny.<br /><br />Love your writing!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08125618694139722572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-76076861687936382982010-01-04T12:53:23.435-08:002010-01-04T12:53:23.435-08:00My sister and I went with my mom to see "It&#...My sister and I went with my mom to see "It's Complicated" on Sunday at the early morning matinee. <br /><br />My sister's comment once we entered the door- "What is it? Senior day?"<br /><br />Haha! I thought it was cute, though it was way too much of Alec Baldwin for my taste.<br /><br />Speaking of taste, that menu would've killed me. I like FOOD. I will pay mightily for it, but it has to be good and plentiful.Ravenhttp://blog.justexpressive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-22878241921644105062010-01-04T11:03:57.034-08:002010-01-04T11:03:57.034-08:00Well that just sucks.

Seriously, the experiences I've had at Heartland have been nothing but top notch, and that's saying something because I always order off menu (they never have a vegan course per se, but always put something together on request.) They can't fix it if they don't hear from you.Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-39606555143061362142010-01-02T23:33:39.639-08:002010-01-02T23:33:39.639-08:00I can't wait to invite people over and serve t...I can't wait to invite people over and serve them head cheese and call it "fromage de tete."
