On Tuesday afternoon / evening, I met Jody and Jesse at Olive Garden. Now, I don't see any pics from this, but I could've swore I took some.
I started off with a pick 2 appetizer of toasted ravioli and chicken tenders. I love both of these. The ravoli is usually a little tougher than I like but the flavors are great. Their chicken breading is outstanding. I love the flavor it imparts to the chicken and it gives it a nice crunch to go with it.
Next up I went with their zupa toscana soup, which is a creamy-ish chicken broth, with lots of Italian sausage, potatoes spices and some kind of greens in it. I nice zesty and slightly spicy soup. I went with 2 bowls of it, and should've only done 1.
For the main course, I went with their lasagna. It was good, meaty, cheesy and gooey. The sauce had a nice tangy-ness to go with the meats in it. I couldn't quite finish it, though, hence me saying I should've only gone with one bowl of soup. All in all, it was everything I wanted out of the trip.

Monday Pork and Leftovers
For Monday's lunch, I got some of the pork tenderloin and mashed potatoes from the cafeteria. They were both good, but neither anywhere near as good as mine.
Their tenderloin isn't as tender, nor as well seasoned as mine. And their potatoes are anywhere from pretty good (like today's) to horribly inedible. But their brown gravy is almost always good, as was today's.
For dinner, I was craving some more of that lasagna from last night. Then on the way home, I got to craving some of those new chicken nuggets. I was trying to decide which I'd eat, when, as I was almost home it hit me, why did I HAVE to choose one or the other?
So, I didn't, I went with both. Also, that 7 was completely unintentional.
I didn't really mix the nuggets into what was left of the lasagna, but they were good, and the lasagna was pretty good for nuked leftovers.

Lasagna
Sunday I got a craving for lasagna. The upside of this was that I had a Marie Callender's meat lasagna in the freezer, so I was covered. After the 2.5 hrs of cooking and cooling (from a frozen state), this is what I was greeted with:
And I fixed some biscuits to go with it, per the roommate's request:
As far as premade lasagnas go, it was really good. Not as gut bustingly filling as the Stouffer's, nor as sweet, but very good. I like them both equally, but for different tastes.
