I had to go to Marion today, to have some minor surgery on my ankle, so DH and I ate lunch at Red Lobster before I went "under the knife". I had grilled Rainbow Trout from the lunch menu, and it was good, but such a thin little fillet! I much prefer the trout cooked whole. I guess most restaurants are afraid to serve fish with bones, though.
Kim had jumbo grilled shrimp, and they were good, also.

I keep telling myself that one of these days, I'm just going to make a meal of their appetizors.

Great! Now I'm going to have that Bill Cosby skit going through my head!!

C'mon everyone sing it! "Dad is great! Give us chocolate cake!" And don't forget the grapefruit juice to go with it!
