Bellevue Restaurant Review: Outback
Outback is and Australlian type steak house. We went there for our anniversary. We had been to Outback in the Bay area before. This experience was not as pleasant as I remember. I really enjoyed the steak and the loaded potatoes. However the chili was too hot, and the blooming onion was not as I remembered. It was smothered in spices and was too much something. I wish people could leave things alone. I had lobster tail with my steak while Sheri just had a bit nicer cut of steak. Her steak was excellent. I ate her left over fries which were also very nice. So I guess it was a mixed review for Outback. The conversation was very nice. I will not be buying an onion bloom in the future.

Happy birthday to Me: One Year Older
I made it to one year older, catching up with all my classmates. We had cake a few days before my birthday where I cot a blender and lemons. We made lemon icees a couple days later. Sheri made the cake and Miranda the frosting. My favorite is spice cake with butterscotch frosting. That is very addictive but once a year won't kill me. On my actual birthday we attended a lecture on the Native American tribes of Nebraska and then went to dinner at PF Changs. A fun few days.
