If I do indeed update my Twitter more often than my journal, I figure it's only fair that you get my Twitter posts here again. Not everyone is on Twitter, and I understand: it's not a site for everyone. But fear not, my friends. One day you will bow to your tiny teal overlord, and for reading my posts, I will convince him to show you mercy.

  • 02:26 I made this image using it (bit.ly/26MXeA), and I remember it was a French page (it may have been in beta), but that's about it.

I had this at an Olive Garden about a month ago.

Pork Milanese


(shown here half-eaten, please disregard)

According to the menu:

"Pan-seared pork scaloppini crusted with Italian herb breadcrumbs, served with asiago cheese-filled tortelloni pasta tossed in a garlic-butter sauce with fresh spinach."

My impressions:

The pork needed something...the Italian breadcrumbs it was cooked in lent a bit of flavor, but very subtle flavor. I squeezed juice from the included lemon wedges, and that seemed to do the trick.

The pasta was good, as was the garlic-butter sauce, but the cheese filling had a sort of processed quality to it. I can't really explain it any better than that. I worked around the spinach, of course.

At $14.95, including soup or salad and breadsticks, I'd order it again. This may, in fact, be my new usual at OG.

  • 00:22 Apparently, Hulu will start charging for content in 2010. I mention this because that is when I will discontinue watching Hulu.
  • 00:28 It's not enough, apparently, that we have ads in our TV, movies, radio, email, websites, et al. Now we need them in our paid content also.
