I was up in the Chicago 'burbs last week to be with my brother after his wife died.
I met a friend at Portillo's and excited I was to do it!
Believe it or not, I was disappointed.
It wasn't as delicious as I remember.
It was good, but not that mouth-watering good that I had for it in the past.
When was the last time you had one?
Let us know what you think!

I went last winter. As long as I stick with the Italian beef dipped with extra hot, I should be happy.
went and donated blood today took longer filling out forms and being interviewed and waiting for a right arm chair than the actual donation...but she said mine ran really well...only got about a page and half read...my marine granddaughter is getting married in Dec. so guess I will see snow again next year...my plans are at this time to fly up or that is too expensive to drive up...well the brain can't remember what I was going to chat about but one thing it accomplishes is bringing this to the top of the page..
It was a bit of a challenge, but we got it all installed. Met Ken's DS and BIL at the Gilbert House for lunch, today. His treat for their belated birthday gift. We had seen a food review on public television. It's in an old Sears kit house that was moved. We sat outside and it was real homey. The service was very slow and none of us were impressed with the food. Tomorrow is carpet cleaning day for Ken's RV, so think I'll take Myrtle to the truck tire place to get those inside dually valves replaced and and oil change. Gotta gear up for the journey to the midwest!
Such a strange day. I checked my FB. There was a post on my HS class page about a classmate who missed a curve on his motorcycle and they found him dead. I don't know if you remember me dating a guy from HS, when I went back to Iowa, a couple of years ago. It was him 
I was just thinking about him when I was getting together with some of the girls from my class, out here. It just doesn't seem possible. I've been getting Myrtle ready to leave, tomorrow. Drove over to Shopper's and got the propane topped off, as I'm sure I'll need to use the furnace while traveling. I got Gertrude hooked up and I think I'm pretty much ready to roll. Just need to take my shower, tonight, so I can get a decent start in the morning. I don't have a battery for my laptop, so may not check in for awhile. I'll be on FB.
But this is truly a neat place...The Toadstool Geologic Park. It's like stepping back time. But, amazingly, my cell phone works.
