Our Night on the Town

We had ourselves a babysitter on Friday night (thanks Ty) so Jason and I could finally go on a date. It was wonderful to just be out by ourselves and enjoy one another's company without having to pass a heavy baby back and forth. The best part was being able to eat out with no interruptions. The night started out with reservations at a restaurant called Bambara, in SLC:



I thought the food was incredibly good. We ordered an artisan cheese plate as an appetizer and also had focaccia bread with this amazing cheese flavored humus (you couldn't even tell it was humus). So far, we are both very pleased with the food, even Jason. For our main entrees, I ordered the filet mignon and Jason got halibut. I really liked mine but Jason thought his was just ok and wasn't that impressed. (Now remember, it is very hard to please Jason when it comes to food...he is probably one of the pickiest eaters in the world (def in the top 100). We also ordered desserts. Jason got a white chocolate and lemon flavored frozen mousse with raspberry sauce which was pretty tasty, and I got something that was supposed to be like an apple-cranberry crisp. Dessert was probably my least favorite part of the meal, I would have been happy with another cheese plate or more bread and humus. For the next part of our night, we were headed across the street to see Cats at the Capitol Theatre. This is where the night started to go downhill...

Cats is the worst musical ever. Within the first 5 minutes Jason and I were making strange faces at eachother, wondering what we got ourselves into. We thought there would actually be a storyline (which I think there is a lame story in the second half), and not just a storyline, but a good story, like Phantom of the Opera. The whole first half of the play is singing about each cat. Boring. And neither one of us could even tell what half the words were to the songs. So basically the musical is about a bunch of weird looking cats dancing and singing about nothing. It was not easy to sit through the first half. The second that intermission started, we both were out of there! We got home a little after 9:30. We thought about just going to see a movie but Jason said I probably wouldn't make it through one and he was probably right. I can barely make it past 10 pm ever and am usually in bed by 10:30 at the latest.

I am a little worried about our next date. We are going to a dinner theater. I hope the play isn't lame! From now on, I think we will stick to the typical dinner and a movie! If we see another play, I am going to do my research before buying tickets next time!
