Prairie Moon

okay, so i've been kind of rubbish at keeping up with this blog. for the past month i was occupied by finals, work, and then a nice warm trip to Jamaica with J, so i haven't been too good with posting. but i'm back and i'll make up for lost time! (:

anyway, for my birthday dinner a few friends and i went to Prairie Moon, one of my favourite restaurants in Evanston.

i normally LOVE their burgers (especially the Pico Pepperjack Moon Burger.. best thing ever!), but i decided that i'd actually try one of their entrees for a change.

i got the Key Lime Margarita Shrimp Skewers ($18.95), which came with 2 shrimp skewers, tortillas, rice, sliced avocados, and salsa.


 i was surprised by the amount of food they give - it was a lot of shrimp! the only thing was that the salsa was incredibly bland...it kind of tasted like pasta sauce, actually.


the shrimp was not extremely flavourful either .. i was rather disappointed. i mean, it still tasted good, but the "key lime margarita" definitely didn't come through like i thought they would.

normally i'm pretty happy with things they serve, so i'm hoping that this was just an off day? still, i think the next time i go back i'll be sticking with the burgers - definitely a lot cheaper and less of a gamble!
