Twelve years ago the better-half and I went out on our first date. I’m not one of those people who celebrates “it’s our 46th month of dating, sweetie, here’s a piece of cake” anniversaries, but I am someone who celebrates two anniversaries. The first date and our wedding anniversary. Our first date is an easy one to remember because it was the night before Thanksgiving and our wedding anniversary is also easy to remember because it is engraved inside my wedding band. I’m a staunch romantic, I am.
Tonight we’re going out to dinner to Maggiano’s. I know it is a chain restaurant, but it is a fancy chain restaurant. We’ve tried to eat there before but since we didn’t have reservations we were shown the door. I’m looking forward to it but must confess I have a craving for fried chicken, mashed potatoes and greens right now. Must be the yucky weather that’s making me want comfort food.
