    Talking should i be proud or ashamed?

    i found a gift certificate to outback the other day so i decided to use it to get take out tonight since dh and ds are going to a baseball game and dd went to PA with my folks. yummy thrifty meal but this is what i'm wondering if i should be proud or ashamed of: i ate the whole loaf of brown bread with the yummy butter by myself. no sharing, no saving any for leftovers. it's all gone and in my belly!

    what do y'all get when you go to outback, if you go. i got loaded cheese fries.

    I wouldn't feel guilty at all! My hubby has a saying "You snooze, you loose!" And he always says that when I ask where all the cookies, cake or pie went.

    Glad you enjoyed your frugal meal. Oh and I have never been to Outback yet.

    they have very yummy food. it's kind of expensive so we don't go often. and the wait to get in is usually rather long so we get it to go. the brown bread comes with your meal and you get it even when you order take away.

    I alway's get a ranch dressing with my salad (I love their homemade ranch) and for my main meal I mostly get the Queensland Chicken and Shrimp. Whatever they marinate there chicken in is awesome. We usually go thru a few loafs a bread and occasionally we will splurge and get a blooming onion. Joe almost alway's gets the Dover's Platter (BBQ Chicken & Ribs). Sometimes though I will get the smaller portion of the outback special.

    I've only been there once, and I was so sick...I'll never again be able to think of the "chocolate thunder from down under" without my stomach doing a flipflop

    I love Outback - when someone else is paying My dh almost never go there on our own. I like their Bloomin' Onions, and I like to get a small steak. The bread is really yummy too. I'm glad you enjoyed your meal out

    That's where we go for special occasions-- yum!

    I usually get the Outback Special (steak), baked potato, and salad with their wonderful blue cheese dressing.

    And their bread is wonderful-- I wouldn't feel a bit guilty about eating it all, LOL!

    We go there maybe once or twice a year. And we can go through 3 or 4 loaves of bread - just the two of us - and yes, it is really good! Glad that you got the whole thing!

    I like their coconut shrimp - not a big fan of their steaks. Their soups are pretty good too.

    We don't go out to eat someplace like that (expensive) unless someone else is paying. I like the coconut shrimp. I have only been to Outback two times, but I do remember that bread. I could eat a whole loaf of that myself, too.

    Don't feel guilty, you deserve a treat! I love Outback. I can make a meal off of the Awesome Blossom.
