Friday night wife...

So this past weekend was great... we did NOTHING. Well some would said we did, but at the rate we have been going lately staying in town on a weekend in considered nothing. We had planned on grilling out Friday night and enjoying the evening on the deck, but nature had other plans and it poured for hours! Bella was not a happy camper about the rain.



Look at that pitiful face!

So since the grilling out was not going to be happening that night I decided I would be a domestic lit wife for the evening and whip up something.
Thanks to my good friend Mrs. Smith who had just posted about a yummy recipe in her blog.
I followed her recipe but I did add chicken to mine.
And after 2 hours slaving cooking in the kitchen we had a nice little dinner to enjoy in the dining room! :-) It always make me happy to eat in there.



After having a quiet evening at home we decided we would go out and about Saturday night. We had planned on going to a restaurant her in town called Yazoo's just for an appetizer and drink. We hadn't been there since we first started dating so we wanted to check it out before committing to eating dinner there. Good thing we didn't have or heart set on it because it is CLOSED! No telling how long it has been, but we just never go over that way. So we decided to head to Epiphany Cafe and do the same thing, get an appetizer and drink, just to check out the place, and then head across the street to Chuck's for sushi.This turned out to be the best decision we have made in a long time. It is our new favorite spot. We of course love Chuck's because of the sushi but we were so impressed with Epiphany it was hard for us to leave. Everything on the menu is from local farms so the menu changes a few times a week depending on what they get in.
We sat at the bar with a very friendly/helpful bartender named Anthony. I told him I wanted something fruity and just to make me whatever he was good at. Well he made me a watermelon martini. And I am not talking about with watermelon liquor... I am talking about freshly cute YELLOW watermelon. It was super yummy!
They have 1/2 price appetizers Monday - Thursday from 5 to 7. We will definitely be going back again soon. Always fun to find a new "spot".
We ended the evening with meeting up with some friends and then headed on home. We aren't as young as we use to be! :-)
