22 bucks a pound for them

My nephew (his twin sister -- the one who went to NASCAR school, one of her friends, my sister-in-law, and my SIL's sister) just got home from a week in Rome.

My nephew said he thought the choices on one restaurant's ala carte menu seemed reasonable, so he ordered the beef fillet for [pretend I'm using the Euro symbol here]$12.something. THEN, after he'd already ordered, he said he figured out that the fine print said that the price quoted was "per 100 grams." He had a $70 steak! Plus the cost of the rest of the meal. (I didn't ask.) ;)

Patti after completing the E-7 Navy Wide Exam in a field of Afghanistan. Daniels was unable to come in from the field so the test was taken to him. Ensign Sanchez and a local guard assisted in providing security to offer Daniels some comfort while he completed the test. U.S. Navy photo by (RELEASED)

Only the Garlic bread was frozen/ready made the rest was fresh.

[luvie]

Yikes! And I was kind of wanting to go to Europe on a trip. Sounds like I need to take peanut butter and crackers with me, huh? :^O

[Kathy in Alaska]

God bless them for sure......I think it was neat, them taking a test out to him.

[El Gran Salseron]

hey, almost time for sleep anyway. I thought I could sneak in, post about the Predator and get out before anyone noticed. :-)

[Fawnn]

LOL yep on the traveler's check.

My niece works in the (fancy) restaurant industry in Atlanta, so she was scouting some out. She had a list of what are supposedly the 10 best restaurants in Italy -- and made reservations at one for their first night there. Her mother was not happy when that night's meals cost them $94 (US) per person!

The steak was on a night when my SIL and her sister were on a side trip, and my niece, friend, and nephew went out to eat. My nephew said at first he thought she'd picked a moderately priced place. Before the "100 grams" discovery. (He actually took a picture of his steak that night and e-mailed it to me!) ;)

[Fawnn]

It's my understanding that they otherwise had reasonably priced meals. (My niece has expensive tastes! Plus, I have a sneaking suspicion that her boss may be reimbursing her for some of her research. LOL)

[NYTexan]

I'm so lookin' forward to that!

G'NITE YALL, I'VE HIT THE WALL!

[LibertarianInExile]

How could they miss the first major-league midget????

[BIGLOOK]
