Do you and your honey do date nights?

Tonight, one of Sweetie's and my favorite movies is on TCM - Fiddler on the Roof. As soon as I found out about that, I told him, "Hey, Fiddler is on on Thursday. We both love that movie, but we've never watched it together. So how 'bout I make a nice dinner, and we just hunker down in front of the TV?"

He said, "We have it on DVD - you gave it to me for Christmas a few years ago. We can watch it anytime." I said, "I know...but it's more fun when it comes on TV. It's serendipity."

So we're having shrimp scampi and roasted broccoli risotto, with apple crisp and vanilla ice cream for dessert. And then, we'll play footsie for a couple hours while we watch the movie.

I don’t remember how far into dating it started, a couple of months maybe, but since nearly the beginning I have cooked dinner for my man at least one weeknight each week. He comes over after work and I make something yummy and we eat together. After we eat we don’t watch tv, we don’t play on our phones, we don’t pull out our laptops, we just cuddle and talk and so on. If it's nice we may go for a walk, but it’s always with no distractions.

And then, before he goes home -

he does the dishes!

Last night was our date night this week and since we’d gone to the gym together after work I was super hungry and not feeling like making a big meal. It was the first time I served him leftovers in the 18 months we’ve been dating. I even commented on it.

Of course, it was homemade root vegetable chili served on polenta, so they were super yummy leftovers. But it was leftovers, nonetheless.

Awwww...lovely!

We have "no distractions" times, too. Like, we're driving up to Minneapolis on Sunday - so we'll have 4-1/2 hours in the car.
