Tired but Happy

Honestly I’m tired of thinking about fitness today.

I didn’t even workout.
(Shhhh….don’t tell anyone.)

Instead I’m going to tell you about my date.

Tonight Brent and I went to a little Argentinian restaurant.

There was live music.

Brent loves watching live music.

I…

…love watching him.

We shared an empanada.

I had Pastel de Choclo
Chilean style country dish layered with beef, chicken, onions, raisins, and spices.
Topped with a corn soufflé and served in a clay bowl

I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of his.
Ooops!

Everything was so delicious.
I’m inspired to work on perfecting a chimichurri recipe I’ve been working on for months.
(Since Trader Joe’s quit carrying it. Grrrr.)

Brent skipped dessert so I wouldn’t have to watch him.
I wouldn’t have care but it’s sweet anyway.

After dinner we burned a few calories took a walk around the block.

Then stopped by a little wine bar.

This is why, today, I don’t care much about eating more than I burned.

Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

    You guys are such an adorable couple! I know how tricky it can be sometimes to make time to nurture that romance after the kiddos come – love that you guys still have that magic!

    You two are such a beautiful couple, I can just feel the love!

    My Mom makes the most amazing chimichurri. She says the key is to not use the food processor, so it means chopping it all by hand. Lots and lots of chopping, it gets loud.

    I’m making some this weekend, maybe I’ll post on the blog :)

    […] list down on a post it and tried to recreate the sauce.  (I mentioned it a few months ago after Brent and I went out on a date to a little Argentinian restaurant.)   The sauce goes really well with grilled chicken or fish. […]
