Daniel asks…

Olive Garden vs Red Lobster?

I want to get my parents a $50 gift card for somewhere to eat for Christmas, and I was thinking of Red Lobster or Olive Garden…

Which is better? Which is cheaper?

I’ve been to Olive Garden and it’s really good (IMO) and I think it’s cheaper, but I’ve never been to Red Lobster, which I’m leaning towards for them.

Which gift card should I get them, that will get them good food to fill them up (as much as 50 dollars can lol, that’s all I have!)

If not Red Lobster or Olive Garden, what gift card should I get them? They hate fried/greasy foods lso nothing like Applebees, IHOP, Fridays, Chili’s, etc.

Something “classy” I guess. I know Olive Garden isn’t really classy lol but it’ll do. So something like that.

Thank you!
Haha I live in Dallas so of course there’s many amazing restaurants, but I don’t think I can afford those 🙁

GardenersCardiff answers:

Olive Garden is priced well enough for them to purchase two meals, dessert, and drinks all at around $50. In addition Olive Garden carries a very light, romantic ambiance which your parents I think would appreciate very much. The type of food that is served is italian and is well portioned, however they typically use many cheese and oil based sauces with their pasta dishes making them inevitably greasy, which may not be appetizing according to what you stated regarding your parents food liking.
Red Lobster on the other hand is a more sensible choice if they are watching their diet, they carry some light seafood dishes that are filling yet not saturated with salt and grease. The pricing is heavier so they would most likely have to leave dessert out. The enviorment is more family oriented and sociable so maybe it won’t be the best “date” night, per se, but it would be nonetheless a good night considering the great seafood dishes that Red Lobster has.
I would say Red Lobster is the best choice.
🙂

Mandy asks…

what is a good 50th wedding anniversary gift?

My friend from work that I have known about 40 yrs is having a 50th anniversary.What should I get them that would not be another nick knack to sit around and collect dust and not be too expensive? I Love her lots but dont have much money.Any ideas ? and is it rude to show up without a gift?

GardenersCardiff answers:

On a budget, I would think a golden rose bush would be appropriate.
A friend of mine sent me some rose plants from Tyler, and they were lovely.

A fiftieth is the golden wedding anniversary, and a rose bush would bloom for years to come in their garden. A gift that would keep on giving, and wouldn’t cost the earth.

Here is a list of rose varieties to check out:
Gold Symphonie
Golden Anniversary
Golden Beryl
Golden Celebration
Golden Future
Golden Handshake
Golden Kiss
Golden Memories
Golden Mimi
Golden Wedding
Golden Wedding Anniversary
Golden Wedding Celebration
Goldfinch
Good as Gold
Happy Anniversary

Ruth asks…

What is a good gift to give someone who likes to garden?

GardenersCardiff answers:

A gift certificate for fedco seeds. (www.fedcoseeds.com)

They are an excellent source for heirloom seeds and do not sell any genetically morphed seeds 🙂

The catalogs are invaluable – if you have time, call them and get the catalogs to give with the certificate.

Mandy asks…

whats a good gift for someone into gardening/compost?

My husband is into organic gardening and his compost pile is making me want to barf. If there was some product to break it down, it would be a win/win for us! He is also growing blueberries/raspberries/ and a peach tree.
Thansk for any advice.

GardenersCardiff answers:

A healthy compost bin has a rich soil smell that’s actually quite nice. If your compost smells like garbage or ammonia, it probably needs more aeration. Cut up the organic waste before adding it, and don’t forget to churn the compost regularly.

If he doesn’t have a tool with which to churn the compost, a garden fork would be a great gift. If he doesn’t want to churn the compost because it causes back discomfort, get him something to soothe muscle pains, or buy a compost bin that has a built-in mixer.

Worms are also great at breaking down large chunks of organic matter — red wiggler worms are pretty popular because they reproduce quickly, and break down o.m. Quickly; however, they are native to Europe, and like all worms, they run (or slither) from soggy soil, which might be pretty gross on a rainy day in the garden.

Michael asks…

Are all Olive Garden gift cards redeemable at Red Lobster?

I know there’s some gift cards that say that they are redeemable at Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Bahama Breeze, etc. I’m trying to buy an Olive Garden gift card on their website but I am wondering if they would be redeemable in other Darden locations, too. Thanks!

GardenersCardiff answers:

I just looked on the Olive Garden and Darden websites and found that yes they are…. “Olive Garden Gift Cards can be redeemed at any Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, The Capital Grille, or LongHorn Steakhouse restaurant in the U.S.” From what I see on the Darden site, it looks like those are the only Darden Locations
