[speaker001:] are you still there okay it worked that time okay
[speaker002:] yes okay
[speaker001:] well we just ate out um had a big lunch actually because we both have been working late and we had Italian um have you ever been to the Olive Garden
[speaker002:] no I haven't is that good
[speaker001:] it yeah well do you really like Italian food
[speaker002:] it's it's not my favorite but I like it okay
[speaker001:] then don't then then this' ll probably be I mean this isn't really excellent Italian food that sounds terrible to tell you go go somewhere where it's not that great but it's um
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] you're not going to believe this I have to tell you this if I don't because you're in Plano that
[speaker002:] that's okay
[speaker001:] but my um unit here is acting like he's dying of tramane poison it wasn't that bad actually it's very good it's all the um for for run adult males
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] which I'm not Italian no it's uh it's all the garlic bread and all the uh salads you can eat with uh an entree
[speaker002:] oh oh oh that sounds really good
[speaker001:] so it wasn't too bad it really wasn't but I was more in the mood for French toast anyway so
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] but I really like Italian food though but do you have any favorite
[speaker002:] well are there just the two of you
[speaker001:] uh yes uh-huh
[speaker002:] okay well when my husband and I go out we have four children so that makes a difference for us when we go out with the kids obviously we want to go somewhere that we can the fast food ones are probably the ones they like the best
[speaker001:] oh you're kidding oh sure
[speaker002:] but we don't like to go there because that's the most expensive so we like to go to a pizza place where you can buy a pizza for one price and and feed the whole family like that
[speaker001:] yeah and you can usually get a variety of what you're looking for like at Gatti's or something like that
[speaker002:] right right but when my husband and I go out we like to go somewhere with a little atmosphere and we usually head on down um oh what's the freeway down here
[speaker001:] uh six thirty five uh-huh
[speaker002:] yeah and there are um all along that that freeway there are are restaurants but one of our favorites is Pappasito's
[speaker001:] oh yeah Pappasito's we went there on my birthday in March it's great
[speaker002:] no we love to go there yeah you know it always kills me because I don't like the the decorations so much it's too
[speaker001:] too much like a bar naturally and Mexico yeah I know I've seen it
[speaker002:] yeah but I love the food I love the food they just are great
[speaker001:] the food is probably I'm not a I'm I'm not a Mexican food gourmet by any means but it's probably the best tasting I I don't know if it would you classify that as Tex-Mex
[speaker002:] yeah um-hum
[speaker001:] um the shredded beef the the type of spices or sauces they use
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh I like to get uh uh a shrimp uh it's a shrimp dish and I don't remember the name of it but it's rolled up into into something and it oh it's really good that's good
[speaker001:] every every really uh-huh I've never had anything there that wasn't delicious even
[speaker002:] yeah they really good
[speaker001:] even though you have to stand in line and all that that's the only thing I don't like about it too it's a little bit with the the meat market atmosphere you know even though we don't have kids we've been married long enough to um be around not to be around that
[speaker002:] yeah yeah yeah
[speaker001:] um I'm trying to think of what else we like to eat the one thing I notice it's it's just um about dining out that you probably can relate to with four children and two of us getting ready to adopt I mean we find it prohibited just the cost anymore
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah um
[speaker001:] I mean lunch today was eighteen dollars
[speaker002:] yeah it's very expensive
[speaker001:] yeah and I don't know how you feel about that but I think some of it's over priced
[speaker002:] yeah yeah that's true
[speaker001:] I'm glad I'm talking about food normally these conversations are
[speaker002:] sometimes it's hard isn't it to keep a
[speaker001:] yeah it is I don't know um
[speaker002:] no sometimes Mark and I that's my husband Mark uh go to the August Moon which is down there it's a Chinese uh restaurant with the lions in the front
[speaker001:] um-hum uh-huh oh yeah my husband likes that yeah off of Arapaho down there yeah August Moon uh-huh
[speaker002:] yeah and uh it's pretty good as far as Chinese food goes but uh Chinese isn't my favorite so
[speaker001:] I don't like it at all usually so
[speaker002:] but he likes it kind of so he says that's a good place now me I'm I'm like I said seafood I'm I like that
[speaker001:] yeah I love seafood and I I like a lot of different ethnic foods I like Japanese food there's a place on Greenville um called Sagar's
[speaker002:] uh um
[speaker001:] well we haven't been in years down near Presby and I had a meeting down there today and I saw that and I I said gee I remember that they offer you um authentic Japanese feeding or American or piano bar
[speaker002:] ooh
[speaker001:] and I remember when we went we were married with another couple that was just dating and um I had never had sake it made all the raw fish taste great
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] but if you're ever looking for a very uh it's very pretty inside and the girls wear kimonos and you know if you're ever looking for that um but what other kind of foods gee I don't know um we went to a place called Grishman's in Greenville
[speaker002:] is it oh how nice yeah
[speaker001:] which was really over priced
[speaker002:] I don't know that's was it
[speaker001:] um-hum but great desert bar
[speaker002:] um that's what we need isn't it no there's lots of nice barbecue places here now I like barbecue okay Texas barbecue and that's good
[speaker001:] yeah yeah I like barbecue have you ever been to the I think it's called Spring Creek Barbecue yeah they have pretty good food yeah
[speaker002:] yeah now they're real good yeah they're good
[speaker001:] there had oh and my husband's going upstairs and he said and free ice cream I didn't know they had that oh I can't talk I had chocolate Bavarian tort for desert today which I never eat at lunch and it was wonderful
[speaker002:] yeah yeah free ice cream yeah oh is to die for I bet ooh
[speaker001:] it was yeah in fact if I could pick my um restaurants on how their coffee is and how their French bread is and the butter and the desert I would be
[speaker002:] in heaven
[speaker001:] yes I would be in hog heaven and how are your kids at an age where they can contribute to what they want or do you still order for them or
[speaker002:] well my two littlest I just had a baby and she's six months and then my four year old he he still but my other two older two they can so they're they're they're
[speaker001:] oh congratulations uh-huh
[speaker002:] they're kind of my my littlest girl she's still like wants McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's
[speaker001:] yeah everybody every child that I even know that eats vegetables um below below five years old still after a certain age realize that there is something called McDonald's
[speaker002:] oh I'm telling you
[speaker001:] it's really sad isn't it because it's hard to get them away from junk then
[speaker002:] well it's kind of funny is sometimes we're like we all want different things and so there's a Fifteenth Avenue down here
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum I know where that yeah
[speaker002:] and along that street are all these fast food restaurants so we all get to go to our own little thing and drive through and get our own thing and then we go to a park over there so we can all have our own that's on the nights we can't decide
[speaker001:] right that's all  um-hum well that's all right as long as that I was going to say because with six people how do you um with two we have a problem I mean I can't even imagine you know trying to uh you sound like you're doing pretty well there with four children
[speaker002:] well I love them they're good kids
[speaker001:] that's the way to yeah well we're getting ready to I shouldn't say this on this conversation but it's just on my mind we're getting ready to go overseas to adopt
[speaker002:] so oh how nice
[speaker001:] yeah we're excited
[speaker002:] it'll be neat
[speaker001:] I think it'll be worth it and somebody said to me in terms of this is food so I can say this but they said you have to bring the formula and I said what's that
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] they laughed and I said well you know
[speaker002:] uh food's food
[speaker001:] I'm thirty something and I and I said is that what makes them drool anyway you know I guess it are you is it a little bit constricted because a lot of restaurants don't take in terms of talking about restaurants I mean are a lot of restaurants
[speaker002:] yeah yeah yeah
[speaker001:] how are they when you have children let alone three or four children
[speaker002:] you have to be careful if you go to a a restaurant that that really is more adult you know with the atmosphere and everything they if you're like we could probably take our oldest son and our oldest daughter
[speaker001:] uh-huh sure um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] and they know how to act I don't I don't think I'd chance it with my younger ones because they're just too much of a distraction and some restaurants are really trying to go for that atmosphere kind of thing and
[speaker001:] yeah the yuppie kind of crowd yeah yeah I just I just I've been in some places where they say they take children and then I've just seen where the wait attendance the wait staff is rude you know and that always just bothered me um
[speaker002:] what yeah so yeah
[speaker001:] on the other hand sometimes the children or the adults are themselves I don't know what other kind of restaurants really Pappasito's we love um we went to one Italian back on the Italian we went to some place across from Collin Creek Mall
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] it was absolutely putrid for Italian food I can't remember the name of it it's on um
[speaker002:] oh is it Tia's not Tia's um
[speaker001:] I can't yeah no that's Mexican um it's right across from on the Dillard's side there or Folley's
[speaker002:] yeah I know which one it is and I can't think of it
[speaker001:] I can't it's in the strip yeah and it it had white tablecloth I think it was like paper where you could write on them or something with crayons and it was just terrible
[speaker002:] yeah oh dear
[speaker001:] I mean I was shocked I mean the dish was dirty um
[speaker002:] it's one of those ones you have a bad experience and say I don't think I'll come back here
[speaker001:] yeah where you felt like you were right like you're in a bad part of Italy Italy or something
[speaker002:] yeah oh dear oh
[speaker001:] um boy but other than that I don't know we we do our share of pizza eating too but it's more like uh go get it and carry it in because we're too cheap to pay the delivery and I don't like strange people coming to my door um
[speaker002:] oh yeah yeah yeah well I I've about said what what what my favorites were and I can't really think of any other uh
[speaker001:] me too no except it just makes me fat no I'm just kidding but you can
[speaker002:] places uh yeah you have to watch it if you go out to eat that's true
[speaker001:] yeah that's true but you can always blame it on having children no
[speaker002:] yeah yeah there you go
[speaker001:] well I enjoyed talking to you and I guess you know
[speaker002:] well good luck
[speaker001:] maybe we'll see you in the restaurants somewhere okay uh-huh bye bye-bye
[speaker002:] yeah maybe okay bye-bye
