Lots of Cheese

This past Friday, January 23rd, marked the 5th anniversary of me and Caleb's 1st date! First of all, I would like it noted that Caleb (as a romantic gesture, no less) has kept the checkbook register where he logged the price of our meal and he shows it to me every year. It was $18.50 in case you are wondering.

So the funny part of our "5th Anniversary of our 1st Date" Dinner was comparing what I ordered five years ago versus now. Our first date, I ordered a salad. Five years later, this is what I ordered:

Appetizer: Smoked Mozzarella Fonduta
(this is a big bowl of cheese. a.k.a. NOT HEALTHY)

Obviously, it was delicious. I ate pretty much 70% of the cheese. Yummmm.

Main Course: Mezzaluna Pasta with Shrimp: Double Yummmmm. If you look closely, you can see the pools of butter.

And I ordered a slice of "Black Tie Chocolate Mousse" Cheesecake! Hahaha. We had a huge gift card, by the way, otherwise we would have eaten at Subway. But what a change in ordering 5 years has brought. Between appetizer and dessert, I ingested about 8 different types of cheese.

On to other news, I remembered to take pics this Saturday night at Los Casadores, at which we are Regulars now. Caleb and Gib sang, which is always a hit in our cute little Mexican dive.

It's a classy joint.

Here's a shot with all their fans. The gray hair lady that is laughing is Ms. Linda and she has a crush on Lee. We're not positive of their relationship, actually, this is just the story we have made up to go with them. It may not be true. We like to hypothesize, however.

And this is Lee. He is the man.

And this last bit is a little random, but I wanted to show off Caleb's handiwork. When his parents got married, his Dad made his Mom a headboard, and I've always thought it was pretty neat. They gave it to us and Caleb stripped it and painted it. Here are the Before and After pics:

It's a little hard to see, but it looks really good with the black paint and even better with the bed made up. Caleb is very handy!
