Gary's Birthday

Yesterday was Gary's birthday. We didn't do anything very exciting. Jennifer and I took him out for his dinner on Sunday. We went to a new place in Billings that opened up about 6 months ago. It was called the Rib & Chop House.

This is a dress up restaurant and we were wearing jeans and stuff. Felt a little uncomfortable but we weren't the only ones wearing jeans.

Jennifer had the shrimp dinner, I had the chicken fried steak and Gary had the half rack of ribs. Jennifer's meal looked good and Gary ended up helping her eat. My meal came with garlic mashed potatoes and one side so I ordered the garlic sauteed mushrooms. I thought mine came with a house salad, but was told that it didn't. I had read the menu wrong. Gary had the house salad and for his side he chose the mashed potatoes.

It took a while for our order to come, but then they were pretty full. My meal was huge and so was Jennifer's. Gary's half rack of ribs was very tiny and he only got a small dollop of mashed potatoes without gravy. He wasn't happy with his meal and was hungry, but he did help Jennifer eat her shrimp.

The prices were reasonable, it was $43 for the three of us, so not too bad. We probably won't go back for a while. Today Gary heard that you need to order the steak, apparently they have good steaks. Also their baked potatoes were huge. We didn't order any but the table next to us did and the potatoes were the size of footballs. Very large potatoes.

I had made a lemon merangue pie as that is Gary's favorite. Jennifer always gets an ice cream cake and Gary gets the pie.

He didn't get a card from his aunt this year, instead she called him at work. She doesn't get out like she used to so wasn't able to get him a card. She was upset with the way the calender fell this year as he missed Easter by one day. The year he was born it was Easter Sunday on April 13th. He didn't get his bunny card this year. It was nice that she did call him. He also got a card from Mmom yesterday.

A very low key event, but he enjoyed it.
