Guess what I made???

[Sowelu]

I went to the Olive Garden for the first time a couple weeks ago and was quite impressed by their Seafood Fettuccine!
So, I went and got the stuff today and made my own.....it turned out dam good!
I made a creamy Alfredo sauce with shrimp, lobster bits and (very small amount of clams) with lotsa garlic along with some parmesan bread-sticks!

Only problem is I always cook like I'm cooking for 10 instead of 5.:D

So.......

























Who's commin' for dinner??????
Jenne's bringin the wine.....what's for dessert?:drinking:
