Fantastic Friday night

On Friday night Steve and I went out on a date and had the best steak we have ever had in our lives.

Our next door neighbor Ronya was having a sleep over birthday party and she invited all 3 of the older boys. They were to go over at 5:00pm and stay the night there. Well, since we had some free babysitting, I told Steve we needed to go out for a nice dinner. Of course Brandon tagged along with us, but he is getting used to that. Steve had heard a friend talking about a steakhouse in Frankfurt called "The American Steakhouse" and Steve decided that is where he wanted to go.
We got there and were a little nervous about having Brandon with us, because it was a fairly upscale restaurant. We didn't want anyone complaining about "the baby", but we ordered anyway.
First a really nice waitress who spoke great English came to take our order and she showed us all the different cuts of meat they had. Steve choose a rib eye, and I had three small cutlets with different sauces. We also ordered some garlic bread and I had a cesar salad. For Brandon we asked her to bring us some mashed potatoes, and she brought them in this fancy glass dish with some creamed spinach as well.
I cannot even tell you how good this food was!! And you all thought Steve was a good cook. :) We were in total heaven eating this, and Brandon too. It was cooked perfectly and the seasonings on everything were fabulous!! Dang, we should have been going there for our anniversary these past four years instead of to the castle.
Of course we paid a pretty hefty price for this divine food, but we both say it was absolutely worth it.

After we got home we put B to bed and then had a friendly game of cities and knights. It is an expansion to settlers that Laura and I will teach the family in August. My dear husband is such a superb game player that he beats me at EVERYTHING. I am a fair competitor, but he beats me the majority of the time. Well, he had beat me 10 out of 11 games of playing cities and knights, and I finally won another game on Friday night. I was thrilled, because I beat him pretty good.
It is such a fun game, because it requires more strategy than settlers, so you gotta really plan things out rather than just hope you pick up a lot of cards.

So, that was our great Friday night, and I am so glad we got to spend some time together and eat some memorable steak. I would love to know what the best food you have ever eaten is.
