Eating at Outback Steakhouse

Kurt and I went out to eat at Outback with Sophia last night. Sophia sat in a booster seat because she refuses to sit in a highchair anymore. Even a booster seat isn’t grown-up enough for her. She got an activity/coloring book and a little box with three crayons in it. I love that they always give a new set of crayons instead of the handful of broken ones they used to give back in the day.

Kurt ordered the ribeye and baked potato with everything on it. I ordered the filet tenderloin with stuffed shrimp and garlic mashed potatoes. And we got an extra plate for Sophia to share our food with us. She wound up eating some of my garlic mashed potatoes which she seemed to really like despite shuddering from the flavor overload and she also ate the tip off the blue crayon. Did I mention that I really appreciate that the crayons they give are new?

Kurt watched Sophia from across the table and mentioned that she was chewing on the crayon. I didn’t care about her chewing on it. I heard him say, “And now it’s gone.” I took that to mean that she had bit off part of the crayon, but no, he meant it was really gone. She swallowed it.
