"Your spaghetti & meatballs are as good as Olive Garden's."

That was my Dad's compliment on the dinner I served him for his birthday last night.

1. Take it as it comes....

2. Reminds me of a commercial I saw once for a cruise line.

A disembarking passenger enthusatically told the camera: "The on-board entertainment is as good as anything in Branson!"

Uh......thanks, we think...

4. If I knew how to do one of those "Unpopular Opinion Puffins", I would do so.

I actually think the spaghetti and meatballs at the Olive Garden are pretty good!

6. But do you have unlimited breadsticks?

Or breastfeeding pit bulls? Or a location in Times Square?

7. Why did you make a frozen dinner for your dad's birthday?

Jeez!

[Sanity Claws]

8. Do you know how he meant that?

Some people may say it ironically, kind of a funny, kidding insult. Some people may consider it high praise.
I hope he said it as high praise.

10. If he finds their spaghetti and meatballs something delicious

I'd take the compliment.

[Rhythm]

13. Take it as a compliment...

As a former back-line cook and saucier for the OG, i know what goes into the products there.
If your dad thinks that your cooking tastes as good as this seasoned pro's... you must be pretty good!!!

14. You'd be surprised at what passes for "yummy" in this town.

Seriously.

I see Facebook comments and such RE: local restaurants and their "yummy" fare and I think "Did you actually EAT here?"

Nevada can often be the home of grease, salt and fat. There may be "fine dining" in Vegas, but not 65 miles OUT of Vegas.
