Date Night

Like most people Nicky and I get on a roll sometimes and forget to stop and just enjoy each other. Soooo... we decided to have a date night this weekend since we had a couple gift cards from Christmas. Compliments of my Mom we had a wonderful dinner at Benihana's. If you have never experienced Benihana's it is quite the treat. They cook hibachi style right in front of you.  They have expanded their menu from what it was 10-15 years ago; including spicy items, teriyaki and a tasty sushi menu.  To start off we had a Spicy Tuna roll from the sushi menu followed by their soup and salad that comes with most of the entrees. For the main course I had Spicy Chicken and Nicky had the Benihana Experience which was Teriyaki Beef and Shrimp. The entrees also come with Chicken Fried Rice which is cooked with garlic butter and is probably the best in the WORLD!!!

After dinner we opted for a movie.  How, I do not know because we were so full I am sure we could have been just as happy to go home and SLEEP! But we were determined.  I had already done my research on what movies were out there and decided to call my PERSONAL movie critic... my Mom.  Yes I said my Mom.  My Mom and Dad go to the movies just about every weekend. I said movieS (plural), not movie.  Sometimes they may see three or four in one weekend.  So why not go straight to the source for recommendations. After some discussion we decided to see Silver Linings Playbook and it did not disappoint. It was a perfect date night movie in my opinion. This movie has something for everyone. Comedy, drama, and even a little romance.

Overall we had a lovely evening and after a full belly from Benihana's and the unmentionable snacks at the movie it was time for bed.

Make sure and spend time with the special people around you while you can... because you never know what the future holds!!
