The theme for this month was a Progressive Dinner in a Limo.  Being a teacher, I had access to an awesome set of dice that I could write on with a dry-erase marker. I wrote down 6 different restaurants on each side of the dice, all of different food genres. A roll of the dice would decide the evening’s chain of events. Ed was told to be home by 6:00 and that our ride would arrive at 6:30. He truly thought that I was just going to have a friend drive us around…He should know me better than that by now.:-) Our limo arrived promptly at 6:30 and had to wait a few minutes while I tried to convince my husband we needed to leave. He was on the phone with work and really thought a friend of ours would be walking in any minute to take us on our Date Night. He truly was shocked when we walked out and there was a stretch limo in our driveway. One of the issues we have had with these dates has been time. My husband’s schedule can be a little overwhelming at times and at the beginning of the month he gives me the date that I can plan our night on. He gave me a Monday….:-/ But, instead of being a bad thing, this actually ended up being fantastic! I was able to get a limo for pretty close to half price, and there were no waits at any of the restaurants which would have made the evening difficult. Before we walked out to the limo, I gave my husband the dice and had him roll to determine which restaurant we would go to for drinks. He rolled Plaza Azteca. My first time there. It is a very nice little restaurant. We both ordered a medium margarita and were totally shocked that their medium was 27oz. I should probably mention that I put some of Toledo’s nicer restaurants on the dice except for the one side that had McDonald’s. There had to be some edge to it.:-)  Next roll was for appetizers. It came up mancys. He was allowed to choose between their Italian restaurant or their steakhouse. He chose Italian.  I had a martini and he had a beer. It’s pretty sad but I’m not totally sure what we had to eat because things began to get a bit foggy after that… The next roll took us to Ciao’s where we had a glass of wine (you can see where this is going…) and pasta. The food was incredible! I know this because I ate my leftovers the next dayL-) The last roll of the dice was for dessert and the choices were, J. Alexander’s, Beirut, or McDonald’s… He rolled J. Alexander’s. We had a glass of champagne and warm chocolate cake with ice cream. Every restaurant was incredible! Our drink combinations provided a very interesting day at work on Tuesday…  This was one of Ed’s favorites!
