Day Four...Kitty's Restaurant in North Reading

Ok, so money is tight, your hungry, but you want some decent food and lots of it. Where do you go? To Kitty's of course to split a meal. The menu is huge, the portions enough to feed family style, and the food half way between pretty good and excellent. Though we would go here from time to time on our own or with Mike and Kerri, it was more often with our families (cheaper that way) that we would partake in this belly stuffing feast. Never went anyway unsatisfied...no, not once!

On this Friday night, we wanted to share the night with Karen and Mike. Karen has been a big part of our life for some twenty three years. Mike came along some ten years ago. We asked them to meet us around 7pm. I knew they would show because they have Keno. Pam and I arrived a few minutes early to get our name in...the wait can be long sometimes. We got seated just minutes before they rolled in. We ordered our beverages and went off to play our keno numbers. We were so busy yakking that the waitress needed to come back four times before taking our orders. Guess what, we forgot about the portions and ordered an onion ring for an appetizer. It was delicious...and huge!

Our meals came on a platter that in many restaurants would carry food for two tables. But this platter was all ours! We shared a little tasting with each other, trying to keep the food moving down by drinking some extra fluids. It was futile. By meals end, our plates were still full, onion rings still aplenty, and the waitress asked, "desserts". OK, I know what your thinking...but you have to know Pam and I portioned our food to save room for this. It was a hot fudge/strawberry sundae with whipped cream and nuts. We made a dent, but we left the dish either half empty or half full depending on your view of things.

Only one last thing to do...check our keno tickets. Unfortunately none of us made any profits with our wagers, but we all felt winners after spending a nice night out amongst good company.
