Date Night: The Japanese Steakhouse

My husband and I had a date night weekend before last.

He took me to my favorite restaurant: The Japanese Steakhouse (otherwise known as Kobe in this town).

I don't usually take my camera with me on date nights. (I feel a compulsive need to share that because as you've observed, I do take it with me most everywhere else.)

(My husband graciously puts up with my shenanigans. I love him for it.)

But, I wanted to photograph my favorite restaurant. The food I so love to eat. And, the fun my husband and I have when we share a night at Kobe without children to feed.

I love to eat at Kobe. My husband would choose a swankier place - with a local menu and local food. He has so much more class than I do.

If you've never been to a Japanese Steakhouse, well by golly, you are missing out - as I'm about to show you. It's not only absolutely delicious (and fresh!) food - it's also a rip-roaring good time.

So, I took pictures. And, instead of posting 36 consecutive photos and taking up more web space than should be legal in one post, I made a quick little slide show.

And, I rambled (via captions) through the whole thing. As if you were sitting next to me on the sofa and we were looking through newly developed prints from Walgreens and smudging them with our fingerprints. All the while, you were trying desperately to get away while I exclaimed, "Oh, but look at this one!"

The last picture? Photoshop and I salvaged it from the dark, "Is anyone there?" recesses from which it came. Barely.

But, it shows us doing what we do at Kobe - having a great time together!

Me. My lovely husband.

And, a table full of complete strangers.

SO, here's to a date night full of good food and the one I love.

And, the white sauce. Here's to the white sauce.
