There is nothing like having to go back to work the next day, to appreciate the amount of fun you had the night before.

Last night, the gang and I went to Carrabba’s Italian Grill to cash in a couple of gift certificates that an “industrious” angel dropped into our laps. I don’t think I’ve had so much fun (and wine) in such a long time.

It was “Wine Wednesdays,” and any bottle of wine was $10 dollars off which is a great deal if you’re a wine lover. Regrettably, my group did not inform me until we were at the restaurant that they had no intention of imbibing. So, I ended up tacking a bottle of Chianti by myself. Yes, this monkey loves the wine.

I ordered the Seafood di Venezia as my meal. It was awesomely wonderful. I’ll be posting a review of that dish on www.PensacolaFoodCritic.com sometime this week, but for anyone planning on going to Carrabbas any time soon, I’d definitely recommend it. I think the dish is not a typical menu item and it’s only available until September. Here’s a link on the restaurant site about the dish: http://www.carrabbas.com/…enezia.asp

I finished the meal off with some Tiramisu. I say to you, that this is Monkey Kryptonite. If you’ve ever made me mad, you can make amends by either buying me aa yo-yo, a transforming robot, or some Tiramisu.

Amongst the highlights of our dinner, Rodney somehow managed to earn the nickname “Chocolate Dream.” Our gang’s resident paranoid schizophrenic freak, Schwab, revealed to us that the area he lives in is tantamount to living in an urban war zone. As for Jen-o-saurus, she revealed that she prefers beer over wine and any red sauce is not her thing. As for me, I told everyone that I really am Batman. I was pretty buzzed with the wine, so I could’ve probably said a lot more things that I can’t remember.

That’s all from me right now. This is Bat-Monkey signing off.
