Night Out…
So I’m really late on keeping my blog up to date… As anyone who looks at the archive list would notice.
Pete and I recently decided to discontinue the season tickets to the Shakespeare Theater. We were getting home kind of late – and with Ian, that made the next day (and the weekend) kind of rough. So my folks have agreed to babysit one night a month instead of for the theater season. So the first non-theater date was to a restaurant that called Coco-Sala a co-worker thought I’d be interested in. All she had to mention was “chocolate” and I was definitely interested.
So after a last minute “oh-my-god-what-should-I-wear” (so not me) dress/shoe drama (Hint: look for LBD more than a week ahead of time). I finally found one last minute at the Macy’s around the corner. It was not the one I’d fallen in-love with on-line, but at least it fit (where as the one on-line didn’t fit at all when it finally arrived).
Dinner was tons of fun. We tried lots of stuff including: Lobster Salad, Bacon Mac-and-cheese, shrimp-Mac-and-cheese, tuna-tar-tar, a plate of meat, and some cheeses (Pete ordered this instead of dessert as he is not a dessert person). I saved room for the Aztec Experience dessert, which was definitely worth saving room for. Pete also tried out the gelato – it was just as good as the place in Claranden (so that’s definitely good).
And as a total bonus – after a 3 hour dinner we were still home just before 10 pm, so I still got some reasonable sleep.
