A Lunch from Heaven

Matt and I enjoyed a 'dish' of heaven this weekend. We spent Saturday in Solano County at the Vacaville outlet mall and had a blast shopping. Despite having mega allergy attacks, we got some great deals and the weather was warm (89 degrees, folks!) However, the highlight of the day had nothing to do with shopping at the outlets. We had lunch at Johnny Carinos in Fairfield. This is a chain restaurant, similar to Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill. My co-workers got me hooked and I, in turn, got Matt hooked. We love the warm bread and garlic/olive oil that they bring out first. They have the absolute best pasta dish ever. It is the Chicken Penne Gorgonzola. If I were the Edwards family, I would have taken a photo, but this dish is not much to look at. It is just a plain pasta. It is the taste that is out of this world. To add to the yummy lunch, Reagan slept in her carseat the entire time. Matt and I just kept looking at each other throughout the meal and saying 'yummm' while stuffing our faces. It tasted good, no stomach aches :)... and that is why we love Johnny's.
