I am sure she will do the same when she sees todays post! Bummer deal on the restaurant. We tend to eat "fast food" a bit too much. But, the last time we ate at a nicer place the serving size was laughably small and everything was dry.! Pooh.

I would not expect to go to a fine dining restaurant and have to serve my portion from a platter. Everyone should get their own individual serve from the chef and perhaps shared veges but when the portion on the platter is not enough it makes an awkward atmosphere on the table as you don't want to take any as you know someone will miss out. I bet Stew's work paid a lot for the meal too!<br /><br />Good luck keeping the kids entertained. I read a whole list in last Saturday's paper of things you could do, from memory a lot involved baking in the kitchen which I thought was a lack of imagination. There was draw on concrete with chalk - your kids are probably past that. I remember one holidays I taught myself to cross-stitch but it was a print on the canvas not following a pattern. Like I say Good luck ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-15237227130479021452011-12-16T08:22:02.840+13:002011-12-16T08:22:02.840+13:00LOL, it probably would have been better to just ha...LOL, it probably would have been better to just have a nice juicy hamburger and fries than what you were served. We ate at a place like that once, but there was plenty of food to go around and it was good. Can't remember what it was, but do remember good. So much for that place. Of course perhaps Stews Company was trying to feed too many on a skinny shoe string. lol....debbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-47334842916342037102011-12-16T07:48:41.814+13:002011-12-16T07:48:41.814+13:00leave a comment a on restaurant guide about it, so...leave a comment a on restaurant guide about it, so the next people are warnedLeighnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-69441624346115577002011-12-16T07:23:42.885+13:002011-12-16T07:23:42.885+13:00Go the blog Michelle made me , she does amazing t...Go the blog Michelle made me , she does amazing things with snowflakes cut from rubbish post that comes thr,. the doorcottonreelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079291444036839673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-3311066586800274982011-12-16T07:21:56.194+13:002011-12-16T07:21:56.194+13:00Write and complain to the restaurant.
