Date Night

So recently my husband and I have been making ourselves go on a regular "date night" every week! This is a huge deal for us because, since having the boys, date nights are few and far between.  Now that we have moved back to Alabama we have more "baby sitters" at our demand and therefore we have been on more dates in the past month than we have in the past year!  My in laws do this as well, they visit the same Mexican restaurant every week and have for years.  All the servers know them there and they are always welcomed, greeted and escorted to their "table".  Taking a cue from them, Husband and I have been visiting the same sushi restaurant every week so last night, when we were yet again sitting in the same sushi place we made the decision to visit weekly and so we introduced ourselves to the sushi chef and waiter.  His name was John.  I'm positive it was not his birth name and he only understood about every other word we were saying. Language barriers really make the food taste better.

I must say I am very proud of Husband, I think the move has really turned on his "cool switch" and by that I mean, my once "I will only ever eat friend rice no I will never ever eat sushi" Husband is now...wait for it....eating sushi!!! He claims he only tried it for me however, we have been together 6+ years and I am sure that I have eaten sushi several times in front of his up turned, disgusted lip.  I will not argue with his new found love of the roll but I am still amazed every time he puts one in his mouth and "ooohhsss" and "ommhmmm that's goods".

Not only is he trying new foods he is finally on Facebook, hello I'm Jessica and I am addicted to Facebook, and he is "liking" and "sharing" things! He also visited a mall...on Black Friday!!

Who is this man?!?! I do not even know him! I almost feel like I am secretly dating someone else, ooohhh I feel so baaad. (the good kind) lol

Now that he is loving sushi, he has a new habit of wanting to order everything on the menu! Last night I think we consumed a weeks worth of groceries in sushi! So gooood! He thought that the chef made each individual piece and wondered if he could order a variety plate. I love him. When he found out that you could not, he ordered 3....THREE rolls!!! And he ate every one of them.  Needless to say we walked out of there with serious food babies!

If you are in or near the Birmingham area you should visit Osaka Japanese Sushi Bar.  If you have never eaten sushi and have turned your nose up at it, then I recommend that you try it, you have no idea what you are missing! Order the Spider Roll, there is one on every sushi menu and it is our favorite and a good one to start with! Hope you guys find time to go on dates with your mates, it is quickly becoming my favorite day of the week.
