After seven weeks of
not spending any real time together Martin and I figured it was worth a try. Here is how it went.
We had a small dinner
with the kids and went through our normal bedtime routine to get the kids in
bed. Once asleep Martin headed out to
pick up dinner at Mo’s Grill and I stayed home to make our table seem less like
a disaster zone and more like a restaurant… I lit some candles, brought out the
tablecloth and pulled out the water glasses.
Come to find out that
most restaurants in our neighborhood, while open for takeout, close early due
to lack of demand. Martin tried four
different restaurants before he found one that was open passed 8pm. Instead of our fancy dinner (okay, it wasn’t
going to be that fancy), he came home with two solo burgers (no fries) and two
beers. I am going to be honest, my fancy table setting made the burgers seem
even sadder. Thankfully what they lacked
in appearance, they made up for in taste… they were really good!
We rounded out the
meal with homemade chocolate treats from Oskar’s friend Max and a sip of our
favorite whiskey Nant, which prompted us to reminisce about our trip to Australia
over 9 years ago.
It might not have
been fancy, and definitely not what we were expecting (did I also mention that
I had cried earlier that night due to stress from work? No? Well there was that as well), but it was
still really nice. We are going to try
again in a few weeks and hopefully this time we can find a place that is open!
