My friend and I went out to lunch today to Ruby Tuesday’s. It wasn’t really meant to be a celebration of the end of the year, just a chance for a last meal together before I push off, but there sure was a lot of reminiscing about the year going on!,

Ruby Tuesdays is a fairly new discovery for me and I really like it! I especially appreciate that I can get lots and lots of healthy veggies with my meal. Portions in the States tend to be ginormously unhealthy, but it’s easy to make better choices at Ruby Tuesday’s and I like that some dishes have smaller portions, like half a rack of ribs instead of a full one.

Since I wasn’t driving, I had a Seaside Oasis, a yummy fruity vodka cocktail with bits of mango. It seemed like the perfect drink to toast the coming weeks. 🙂

We even had dessert (their coffee was fantastic and included!!!) in the form of very reasonably priced cupcakes. She went with carrot cake and I tried red velvet for the first time!

Mine was decorated with sprinkles. Hers was decorated with… carrot. LOL!
