Crab legs or Olive Garden?

easjer05

On one hand, we shouldn't spend more money to eat out. 

On the other hand, that sounds really, really good, while crab legs sound really, really meh.

Olive Garden requires me to get off my fat ass and drive and pick it up.  Crab legs require no movement on my part to fix.

However, crab legs will require work to eat and will likely end up breaking most of my nails.

However, Olive Garden is not only $ spent, it's also calorie-riffic, and while I will eat protein, which is desparately needed today, it'll come along with a gazillion other calories, mostly fat.

Dilemmas, dilemmas.

I vote crab legs for sure.  I'm not a huge Olive Garden fan and crab legs sounds delicious!

I love me some crab legs, but Olive Garden sounds really freakin yummy today.

I vote Olive Garden, but I can't eat seafood, so I am probably a little biased against crab legs.

Ditto.

Overruled!  DH has decided on frugality since we're going out with friends Tuesday.  Crab legs it is.

I'm not really into Olive Garden, but Red Lobster now sounds completely awesome. Too bad we don't have one close ?

Ooooooooooohhhhh, Red Lobster.  You just roped DH into making cheddar garlic biscuits.  YUM.

BrookeNicole09

Share biscuits! Pleeeaaase??

I'll give you the recipe!  Next best thing.  I just have to go find my recipe book.

I've tried using like the Bisquick recipe. It's the butter on top I can never get right.?

easjer05

Ah - I don't like the butter on top.  I mix a little minced garlic and garlic powder into the biscuits and they get all garlicky that way, and they aren't greasy.  Mmmmmm.  Maybe a 1/4 teaspoon of minced garlic and then the 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder that goes in the butter.

I've also heard of putting the garlic powder on before baking and then dribbing a little butter and garlic powder over them fresh out.

I'll work on my recipe. You've inspired me now

I have a recipe too.  I'll go get it.

lovenote

2 cups biscuit/baking mix (Bisquick)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup milk
2 T butter or margarine, melted
1/4 tsp. garlic powder

In a bowl, combine biscuit mix, cheese and garlic.  With a fork, stir in milk just until moistened.  Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake at 450 degrees for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown.  Combine butter and garlic powder; brush over biscuits.
