I can’t even say date night because it wasn’t. It was date lunch. Today was my last summer flex day of the season which means I only do a half day. Today I decided to give my husband a little quality time and take him out to lunch and to do whatever afterwards. It was a hot day though I didn’t think as hot as the forecasted 95. Either way, too hot for an outside walk. For lunch we tried Jimmy’s Charhouse. Not a big steak eater but thought it might be nice to try anyway. I never ate such mundane food. The garlic mashed potatoes were just that, potato and garlic. I don’t think they even used butter or milk in it, blah. And the steak was just a piece of meat. I guess that is the natural taste of steak. I couldn’t get enough A1 on it to flavor it. I kept dipping my meat in the Grecian sauce that came with RAW’s pork chop. RAW liked his meal which was more important.
Afterwards we walked over to the Sunset foods for an exciting trip to the grocery store. Before that the highlight of our date was seeing and driving on the new road that was done at the intersection of 60 and Peterson–exciting stuff. At the grocery store we marveled at the trail mix bar and the olive bar and oohed and ahhed at the odd items in the deli area. Then spent some time trying to figure out what flagoletes were in the canned goods area. Apparently they are the “caviar of beans”. The cans they had at the store didn’t look to appealing. If they were so special then why didn’t they spring for a better food photographer and graphic designers to design their labels?
We then stopped at Einstein Bagel to stock up then headed home.
Tomorrow Hollace and I head up to Manitowoc while RAW puts in some gutters around the house.
