We had a nice meal consisting of stuffed manicotti with spinach and cheese, and an evil dessert that certainly put us over the top. It was a dark chocolate brownie with cherries and almonds.
This year, instead of going out and spending $100 for the two of us to sit uncomfortably in a dimly lit restaurant, I made our dinner, packaged it up, and we met a couple down at Steve's boss's condo which is right on the water. A double date, wonderful view, and pretty darn good food. Nice. Quiet. Relaxed. I liked it!
