date night.

Just this past Friday Paul and I went to Brix & Stone Gastropub. This was our second time there and both times we've really enjoyed it. This time around, while trying to decide what to eat, I decided to "be like dad" and try something crazy. Wanna know what I had?
Chicken N' Waffles!
Unfortunately this dish did not come served the way I had anticipated and the chicken was just a little "juicy" for me...good thing the waffles were tasty! The meal consisted of fried chicken and waffles with strawberry butter and whiskey infused maple syrup. Needless to say, the joke of the night was that we went on a date for me to have waffles!
Paul had the Shepherd's Pie. We'd never tried Shepherd's Pie before...this one had lamb and beef. It was pretty good.

Coming and going

So, tomorrow my sister will be moving to Madrid, Spain for 5 years! That's a long time! My boys will be 8 and 5 when she moves back, if she moves back. :( Thankfully we live in an age of Internet!!! Skype, email, MagicJack, UPS, USPS, FedEx, Cell Phones, and BLOGS also make the list of things I'm so thankful for in making communication with a sister now that an ocean will separate us!

So, in honor and celebration of the great adventure she is about to partake in...I've resolved to start my blog back up and start posting more regularly. Yippee!

So, here's to you, Nikki! :)
