This nonsense has been lighting up my personal blogosphere all week. I don't know about anyone else, but it's given me a mad craving.
It occurs to me that I haven't eaten at an Olive Garden since I moved to DC. That's four years now. And I'm ashamed to admit that's entirely due to peer pressure. In truth, I love Olive Garden. Without irony even. So no more pretending to have a sophisticated palate. I can't fake being food-snotty anymore.
Instead, tomorrow night I'm dragging my friend Emily (the only person I know out here who I can convince to willingly darken the door of a chain restaurant) to the nearest location. And I'm going to merrily consume mushroom ravioli and at least two helpings of the most addictive salad on Earth.
