I haven't posted in a while and it's probably because we haven't been up to much...tourist-wise, anyways. We have ventured out a couple of times and discovered a few small things about Omaha...
1.) Sizzler! We finally made it out to Sizzler. Even though I was completely excited to try it again, I must say - it was better than I thought it would be. The salad bar was good, as long as you pretty much stuck to the salad -- they had a lot of other stuff (wings, taco bar,...) that didnt' look too good. Frank actually ordered a steak with his salad bar (for the price of only $2.00 extra) - he sadi it wasn't bad! And the kids were happy to see "cheese pizza" on the kids menu. A curiosity satisfied. I don't think we'll be rushing back every weekend or anything, but it was worth the trip.
2.) Pudgy's Pizzeria! We found it. We found a good pizza. Apparently this guy moved to Omaha in the early 70s from chicago and decided that this town needed a good pizza (so this pizza issue has been a long standing problem here!) Frank and Ellie stopped to pick up a pizza from Pudgy's on their way home from their "date" on Saturday (the went to see Madagascar 2). It was raining and freezing outside, and by the time the pizza got to our table, it was relatively cold-ish...and it was STILL the best pizza we've had to date here. Frank said it was a very "auggie's" atmosphere -- Pudgy himself was at the front counter, not really working, but he knew everyone that came in -- there were tons of people racing around behind the counter -- the most organized chaos that ever was! I can't wait to try it maybe at the restaurant... when it's hot and fresh out of the oven... nonetheless, I think we're on to something here!
3.) Conditioner. this one has nothing to do with omaha, but what the heck took me so long to get some conditioner in ellie's hair? Brushing her hair after a bath was like torture for everyone involved. Quick fix - conditioner - DUH! Smooth sailing every since, and we've shaved a good 5 minutes off the whole bath time routine...priceless!
Those are the discoveries of recent weeks... we're starting to run out of touristy things to do here, so we are turning our focus to restaurants - next up: Fazoli's -- haven't eaten at one of those since our Purdue days. It was "nice" fast food dinner back then - I wonder what we'll think of it now -- that's on the schedule for next weekend - full report to follow.
Have a great week - stay warm!
