Birthday photo

I thought I would share with you a photo from last night's birthday dinner. I went with my mom and met my brother and his girlfriend out at Joe's Crab Shack in Chesterfield, Mo.

My mom and I had gone there to eat recently and after being seated at a table, were basically deserted! We actually got up and left after sitting there for a long while without so much as even a drink waiter coming by. We then went across the street to eat at the Old Spaghetti Factory.

We were hoping for better service at Joe's this time around. Which, I guess we did get. But when you are paying $23.00 for a bucket of bbq'd dungeness crab, you want it to be cooked right. Mine was NOT. The crab meat inside was brown and hard and dry....WAY WAY WAY over cooked. So they sent it back...which means I had to sit and watch everyone else eat. Dude! It's my birthday!!

In the end, I got fresh crab...it was less overcooked than the previous batch, but still slightly overcooked. All in all it was an ok evening. I probably would have been happier had we went across the street again.

Sorry you dinner wasn't all that you had hoped for. I hate that when they destroy your meal. Have a great day Becca. :)

Great photo! You look beautiful...that blouse is really pretty.

Sorry the dinner wasn't as good as you'd hoped. I'll admit, I'm not a big fan of Joe's Crab Shack.

Awww man! Hey! Your Joe's looks very much like my Joe's! Except that my Joe's can cook. Next time come to mine. I'm sorry that your dinner wasn't what it should have been. :-(

Hey.. my code that I have to type says lobsfdx <--- at first I thought I was going to have to type lobster! I was like, "Are they making the codes match the posts now?" Not that you had lobster, but..well, you get it.
