Well, Now I Can Check That One Off Of My List!!!

        Doesn't it look delicious?!...Wanna know what it is?! :-) Well, remember the other day when I was talking about the everyday FOOD magazine I had gotten in the mail with the recipe for Spanakopita, and how I didn't know what it was?! Well, now I do?! :-)
      Hubby and I have a 'Date Night' every Friday. And yesterday's 'Date Night' was more like a 'Date Day' because he had the whole day off from work!...We spent the day doing 'this and that', nothing too special. But last night hubby left the house and said he'd be right back. O_0
     Then, about 30 minutes later, he called and had to give away what he was up to!..*Teehee* He said: "What was the name of that thing she said you could get at the restaurant over here?" That was my clue to read between the lines as to who "she" was, what "restaurant" he was talking about, and what the name of "the thing" was! LOL

     It didn't take me long. I mean...we 'have' been married almost 29 years!! I can almost read his eyebrow raises and head tilts now! ^_^ ...I quickly deduced that he was talking about my Bloggie buddy from the blog Holyoke Home. The other day when I had mentioned that I didn't know what 'Spanakopita' was, she said: "Go to Pizza D'Action on Lyman Street in Holyoke (tell Scott or Fran that Maggie sent you) and order their Spanikopeta and a small salad. Perfect summer meal! YUM. MEE."

      So, hubby was gonna surprise me by bringing it home for me! But....he couldn't remember the name of the dish, or the people we were suppose to ask for, or the person we were suppose to say sent us!! Ha! Ha!...But hey! He did know where Lyman Street was! That was 'something!' ^_^

     Anyway...he brought it home, I got a fork, and dug in!!!

      YUM-MEE!! Maggie, you were right!! Delicious!! :-) Now I know that Spanakopita...at least 'this' Spanakopita...has Spinach, Cheese, Egg, onions, some other little odds and ends, and Phyllo dough! (Yeah!! I know what that is too now!! ^_^) 'And' I know....IT'S DELICIOUS!!!

       My only addition, being the meat girl that I am, would be a pork chop or a ham steak on the side! :-)

     Big thanks Maggie, for the restaurant recommendation, and for letting me know that I really didn't have to go that far in order to have a new experience! :-) ....My only regret?! That hubby didn't have his camera so he could take some pictures of the restaurant! I love the black and white, kinda 1950s decor!! Or at least that's what it looked like on their website. Hubby said that's exactly what it looked like to him in person too. He loved it!! :-)

     Okay, now that I can mark that experience off of my list, what am I gonna do today?! I'm sure I'll think of something!! ^_^ Have a good weekend everybody!! {By the way, what are you gonna be doing?! Are you making anything new?}

I Love A New Experience

I love a new experience!
No matter how it's learned.
A fact that's new to me,
or a new food that I've burned.

A place I've never been,
or a person I've not known.
A book I've never read,
or a gadget on my phone.

A song that's not my norm,
or a craft I've never tried.
A veggie fixed a new way,
whether boiled, sauteed or fried.

I love a new experience!
A jolt for my old eyes.
To make my life worth living,
and each day a great surprise!
