After spending Saturday bundled in lots of layers JO really wanted to go out to eat. I was feeling really blah after having spent a few hundred dollars on car repairs, the whole no heat thing, and the fact that I hadn't showered all day. I was pretty adamant about not wanting to go out in the rain and wind, figuring I would just get colder.
It took some major convincing by JO, but we decided to head out to City Girl. Since that's a short walk from our house I donned my raincoat and grabbed my umbrella, choosing to leave the gloves and scarf at home. We arrived at City Girl to find most of our neighborhood was already there. Since they have no waiting area we decided to go to The Druid, but we both knew that since it was 7:30 pm on a Saturday night it wasn't going to happen. The Druid was extremely full, and we found ourselves standing in the freezing rain trying to plan our next move.
Parlor Sports was out because of the big college football games going on, we had been to Trina's the night before, and Ginger Exchange just seemed lame. We were about to call it quits when JO suggested Casa de Portugal. We headed over there and got the last table.
As usual, the service and the food were perfect. We watched the rain fall out the big windows in the front of the restaurant and enjoyed the blasting heat. Although I felt kind of grubby I knew it didn't matter. Casa de Portugal is the kind of place you can go all dressed up or all dressed down. With happy bellies we headed home to get ready for a cold night! I'm so glad we didn't waste a night in Inman.
