We weren't feeling terribly inspired about this weekend until Jenelle crafted a plan for Saturday, and it turned out to be a dern good one. Activity 1: go to the gym as a family, leave Carter with child minding, and get those ski muscles warmed up. Activity 2: get a sitter and head out on the town on a date. Activity 3: Tapas on Main for blood orange sangria and small plates. Activity 4: SteelStacks to see "The Iron Lady". It was all going deliciously until a bulb blew at the cinema and we had to punt, opting instead for dessert and a nightcap at a hip spot called The Mint. It seemed like forever or longer since we'd been on a date, which made it all the more enjoyable.
Earlier in the week I suggested southwestern salad and Jenelle obliged with a steak-topped masterpiece worthy of blog mention. It's also worthy because not a lot else is; we're in a decent stretch of routineness that doesn't afford a ton of 'new' during the week.
