We headed downtown for sushi at Bento, a trendy restaurant that was conveniently playing the Florida/Alabama game. Coincidence???
Ryan was sad the Gators weren’t doin’ so hot (he went to UF for his MBA).
(Yes, this picture was totally staged, and yes Ryan will hate me for posting it. :D)
Though my stomach started eating itself in the amount of time it took for someone to come take our order, I was a happy camper again once I got some miso soup in mah belly.
I bet I slurped this whole bowl down in less than two minutes. Â
When our order came out we were quite impressed with the tasty display.
One of the sushi rolls we ordered came without rice which was really neat. I honestly didn’t even miss it. I don’t really like white rice that much. I prefer the nutty flavor of brown rice.
We ate until we were nice and full… but not too full for dessert! We headed to Jeremiah’s for some ice cream and gelato. I ordered a small chocolate peanut butter gelati with vanilla and pumpkin pie on the top. Sounds weird, tastes great!
On our way home we also enjoyed hot cocoa with whipped cream and fudge drizzled on top. A wintery treat!
Both Ryan and I had never seen the classic holiday movie A Christmas Story. I actually won it on DVD last year at the Festival of Trees at the Orlando Museum of Art, so we figured tonight would be a great night to break it open.
We both really enjoyed the movie and thought it was a great conclusion to a nice little Saturday date night.

Aw, A Christmas Story is classic! Watching it is one of the few holiday traditions my family has stuck to as my siblings and I have grown up. Sounds like you had a lovely evening!
