A few weekends back, Mike and I went out for dinner. Because we cook at home so much, we don't have the opportunity eat out as much as when we were dating. But going out and trying out new restaurants was always such a large part of what brought us together and something I forgot how much I truly enjoyed. So, this weekend really helped us rediscover the fun in dining out and renewed our sense of adventure. After dinner we both vowed not to allow this much time to pass without going out on more of these charming dinner dates that we love so much.

We went to an Italian restaurant. Michael ordered gnocchi or potato dumplings in red sauce with pancetta and topped with gorgonzola cheese I opted for goat cheese ravioli with pine nuts and asparagus. Michael is extremely fastidious about pasta, so he didn't find the gnocchi to his liking but we both agreed the goat cheese ravioli was pretty satisfying. The pine nuts with the creaminess of the goat cheese was so awesomely good! Here are some pics of that wonderful night...
