Double Date

Trey and I went on a double date with Perry and Jacob a while back. We went to the wine tasting at Carpe Vino and then to dinner at DePalma's. Carpe Vino is one of my favorite places downtown. I love going to their weekly wine tastings or just stopping in to buy a bottle of wine or cider. They have so many choices and their staff has always been spot on when suggesting a bottle of wine I will like. 

DePalma's is a fun place to go. They have good wine and great service. However, I was very disappointed with my Shrimp Scampi pasta. I order this same dish every time I go because I like it so much. This last time it did not taste anything like what I normally get. It was way more lemony and was just not good. I don't know if they had a new cook or what but I was very disappointed. The caesar salad was delicious as always and everyone else said their dishes were good. I will probably order it again the next time I go in hopes it will be as amazing as remember. 

 

Snow Crab Leg Date Night

Saturday night Trey and I decided to have a relaxing date at home. We went to Sam’s to get my tires rotated and serviced. While waiting we perused every isle in Sam’s. I spotted some frozen Snow Crab Legs and decided that’s what we needed for dinner. The directions were super easy and it took a total of 10 minutes for them to be completely cooked and ready to eat.

Trey made Bloody Mary’s to drink while we cooked dinner. He loves to garnish it up! You can’t see it but there is okra in the glass too. I only like to eat the celery but its pretty with all the other stuff added too.  

We had salads, baked potatoes and steamed snow crab legs. Don’t let my plate fool you. I had way more crab legs than that! :)

Question:

• Do you ever just like to stay in and cook a fancy dinner or would you rather leave that to the restaurants and go out to eat?
