Or should I say having TIME to go on a date night and not worrying about getting back to work right away. During the school year, I got used to scarfing down lunch in 4 minutes and dinner in 10. So what a treat it is to eat leisurely these days!  Last weekend, Eric surprised me (sort of, I blew the surprise w/ the help of the white pages) with dinner at Alan Wong’s, a fancy restaurant in town. It’s been a long time since we splurged on a meal for just the two of us, so it was extra fun to get dressed up & go on a date with my hubby! I think I even saw that first-date twinkle in his eye again. Anyway, we had a great time. The restaurant is cozy, unassuming, yet surprisingly busy. Lots of couples celebrating anniversaries, as we overheard a number of desserts being given “compliments of the chef.” Made me think we should’ve said it was our anniversary too, but Eric the honest one said “no special occasion, just because.” I guess that’s a pretty good answer. Well I’m not a big fan of food pics, but the dessert we got is worth showing. It’s called “the coconut” and is haupia sorbet in a coconut shell made of dark chocolate. Did you get that? A DARK CHOCOLATE SHELL, with coconut shreds on the outside and fresh fruit on the inside. It was delicious. Thank you Eric!!
