What I order at Olive Garden is Tour of Italy, and chicken gnocchi. I do Tour of Italy, so I can have 3 days of dinners with the breadsticks.

For all winter enthusiasts --
This Thursday will be the winter solstice. (Found some interesting facts about it below.)
"After the winter solstice concludes, the sun begins to advance northward all the way up until the summer solstice occurs in the Northern Hemisphere, marking when the sun is most closely tilted to the hemisphere.
While the solstice and shortest day of the year will both occur on Dec. 21, the following day is recognized as the first full day of winter."

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The puffins are adorable and the boys are fighting over which one gets to hang it in their room. Hint; It's going on the fridge next to the ferret pic
Love Charlie Brown and Peanuts cartoons as a kid, still do. Can’t say much on a few Europeans I know who detest Peanuts ( actually peanut butter ). I grew up on PB&J sandwiches as a kid, in my Planet of the Apes metal lunch bag with my apple and milk / OJ prepared by my mom since school provided lunch did not exist back in the day , and as a poor college student back in the day was my go to budget snack and or meal. I still eat it at times , pre lap swimming workout energy food.

I am amazed at the collective hate for Olive Garden. I don't understand it, I really like OG and have never had a bad meal there. I went there last Sunday for my Granddaughters 12th Birthday and I'm going again today for lunch and to meet up with my old High School girlfriend (and her husband). They are heading from Connecticut for Florida to spend Christmas with their Son and his family and decided to veer off I-95 for a reunion, of sorts. I have not seen her in around 54 years.
Anyway, back on topic, I have had a number of meals in Italy over a couple of visits to Europe and I found that Olive Garden is as close to authentic as I have found. Yes, there are a lot of restaurants in this country that are owned an operated by "real" Italians, but it has always been authentic American Italian Food. Here the servings are far spicier than in Italy. Nothing wrong with that at all and is something that is popular here in this country, but in my opinion it is not really authentic Italian Cuisine. I guess it just boils down to what we like individually and how we define Italian Food.

It depends on where you are in Italy. My longtime bestie's grandfather is from Italy and I grew up eating his cooking. Believe me, some Italians have spicy sauce.
That's the other reason I don't like OG, between the local place which is run by immigrants and his food, OG is just bleh.
I like other chains, though.
