Dinner at the Diner

Last night we met up with Ilene, Michael and April for dinner at the Marietta Diner…home of MASSIVE portions!  Eammon and I haven’t been to the diner in years and I found the menu overwhelming with choices.  It was funny, I wanted so many things but I ended up ordering a cup of seafood bisque…yep just a cup of seafood bisque.  But that with a bit of Eammon’s giant side salad and a slice off the enormous entire loaf of bread that they brought to the table along with a square of the complimentary spanakopita, well I was stuffed.  Everyone else ordered whole meals and at the end of dinner there were a total of seven stuffed take-out boxes heading home with all of us.  Portions out-of-control!!

As always April and Maisie were excited and happy to be together.  We don’t get together enough and each time that we do the girls look so much older and grown up.

Both the girls ordered spaghetti for dinner but they each had their own eating style.

Maisie is a slurp from the bowl kind of girl.

While April prefers pasta from above. 

As always we enjoyed our dinner and time together.
