Out to dinner, take 2.  We had tried on Wednesday evening but there was a power outage.  We were sat, ready to order, hubby had his glass of wine when boop, no power.  We sat for a bit.  The restaurant getting warmer, waiting and wondering, the staff looking worried.  We paid cash for the glass of wine and headed out.  Home to sandwiches instead as there was no power at our place either.  :-)

So we tried again Friday night.  The maneki-neko welcoming us back.  Lovely food and no cooking or cleaning for us.  A good way to start the weekend.
