Nadi and I go back for more dinner .... and are kind of let down

I am the type of person that when I find something that I like, I tend to continue to do that thing until I no longer like it. Call it obsession or whatever, but this is what I end up doing with almost any restaurant that I discover and end up liking. In the past year I have managed to (probably temporarily) ruin a burrito place, ramen in a genera sense, as well as my local low-cost Indian place.

So when I had such a wonderful time at the surprise excellent lasagna place, I was obviously going to go back and have in the very next day.

We'll start this out by showing Nadi's backside, which is almost as cute as her front. Whenever I take her anywhere with plants in it, she has to go and inspect it. Always! Without fail! I think she is searching for rats because even though you don't want to think this is the case, this restaurant is outdoors and those plants are probably home to some rats.

No rats were found and we proceeded to order. I tried the other special that was on the chalkboard this time, and it was some sort of pasta bolognese, which is normally something I would really like regardless of what kind of pasta it is.

It wasn't in front of me very long before I was wishing I had just ordered the lasagna again.

My little stalker sat there and waited patiently, but she didn't end up getting very much of it because this is actually quite a small dinner in my world. I also didn't get a salad with this one and that was a surprise because the lasagna come with one.

I ordered a glass of red and pretended that I know what I am talking about when I ordered it. I do not. I have very little experience with wine and feel like most people that say they do know a lot about wine are just pretending because it is cool to be like that I guess.

This was disappointing. Ragu bolognese is basically the same no matter where you order it so the taste was "meh" and the portion size was nowhere near enough food for me. I ended up ordering something else for delivery when I got home and that's not cool, is it?

There was far fewer people around this night because it was Sunday and therefore no band. The weather was also pretty crap with this annoying drizzle rain that never really fully gets started, but just kind of lingers. I've been told that is what the UK is like for at last 50 percent of the year. In my mind, I wish the sky would just open and dump a bunch of rain on us and get it over with instead of this irritating haze that lasts all day and never goes away.

Afterwards we went home and I chatted with my family on the other side of the planet while Nadi snoozed on her little bookshelf that she claimed and I was delighted that she is using the pillow that I got for her as well.

So it was a bit disappointing that this new restaurant that I was so excited about turned out to be a bit of a bust, but I think I enjoy going there enough that I will not give up on them yet. The problem is that they don't rotate their specials very often because there just aren't that many people interested in dining there. Oh well, it's on our poopy-walk trail anyway so all I can do is hope that they change it up from time to time.
