This afternoon, my friend and I went to see a screening of the terrific James Stewart movie ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ What a treat to see it on the big screen!<\/p>\n

Then, I took her out to dinner to celebrate the end of my insurance nightmare<\/a> (even though the cheque still hasn’t landed yet, boo). I wanted to try something new a bit more upscale than our usual haunts, so she suggested Outback Steakhouse, which was next to the cinema.<\/p>\n

I was a little surprised by the suggestion since neither one of us eats beef, but it turns out they have lots of other yummy things on the menu.<\/p>\n

Since I wasn’t driving, I decided to have a cocktail. I found one that had rum, coconut rum, strawberries, and mango (I think those are the four basic food groups) and it did not disappoint!<\/p>\n

My friend had her favourite, which was chicken with bacon and honey mustard sauce. I wanted to try something new, so I had the ‘mixed seafood grill’ with shrimp, scallops, and mahi, a fish I had never tasted before. I cannot believe how tasty this dish was! It came with a nice rice pilaf and lots of green veggies, plus the perfectly cooked seafood and the flaky grilled fish that I will definitely be going back to eat again. Every mouthful of that fish was a delight. Yum! Dessert was cheesecake. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I can’t believe we’re past the middle of December and except for the occasional drizzle, it’s still tee-shirt weather here.<\/p>\n

Oh, and gas prices have gone below $3\/gallon! It’s a wonderful life indeed! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
