Dallas Stars Hockey Game

Awww!

Tonight we took a night away from the kids to go out on a date.  Since we’ve been married we haven’t been out on very many dates.  Most activities are centered on the kids.  With our extended family out of state babysitters are few and Sissy usually doesn’t like being left behind.  Now, that is not to say that Jon and I don’t spend time alone together.  We stay up alone together usually or an hour to hour and a half alone each evening.  For twenty-one years that has worked for us.

Jon's Camarones Escondidos

Lisa's Tampico

We began our evening with dinner at Cantina Laredo.  It is a newer Mexican restaurant in our area that we have wanted to try.  Jon chose the Camarones Escondidos, which is grilled chicken breast stuffed with shrimp, topped with sauteed spinach and chipotle-wine sauce!  As for me, the Tampico caught my eye with Grilled chicken breast topped with sautéed artichoke hearts, mushrooms, spinach, red bell peppers with sour cream-poblano sauce and Monterey Jack cheese.  Sounds yummy, doesn’t it!

Following dinner we headed to the American Airlines Center for a Dallas Stars pre-season professional hockey game against the St. Louis Blues.  We had great seats in one of the suites that Jon’s company owns.  It was a fun evening, everything you would expect, the token fight, missing teeth etc.  And there were a few things I wouldn’t expect like cheerleaders in hockey, ice girls, and fans racing in giant gerbil balls. 

It was an enjoyable evening and the Stars won! 

Then all the people went away to eat and drink,
to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy,
because they now understood the words
that had been made known to them.
