6th Anniversary

St Patty's Day marked our 6 year anniversary. It fell on a Sunday and Lane was just getting off from an overnight shift, so we didn't plan to do anything. I can't really remember what the events were that day, but I do remember saying to Lane, "This day kind of sucks." LOL! I think Davis was sick and Elliot was really whiny and I remember running around trying to keep everything in order. We finally got to celebrate about a week later.
I had a Groupon for The Brownstone in Fort Worth. I've been wanting to try them out so I was happy to see the deal offered. They require you to have reservations, which I thought was silly for a weeknight, but when we got there I understood. There's definitely limited table space which made for a more intimate feel.
The food was delicious. I forgot to take pictures of our appetizers. Yes, that's plural. We ordered 2 because we were really hungry. Our reservation wasn't until 8pm. I don't remember the last time we ate that late. We're more 5:30ish eaters. Anyway, the appetizers were fried okra and fried mushrooms...healthy right? The were SO good. The batter was really thin and they just melted in my mouth. For dinner, I got the bacon blue cheese burger and Lane ordered the shrimp and crawfish po boy. They were both great as well.
For dessert we headed across the street to Sweet Sammies for an ice cream sandwich.
I love this place. You pick out your homemade cookies and ice cream and they make it for you. I'm so glad we were able to get out of the house and have a nice quiet dinner. Even if we were back home by 9:30pm :)
