These days, we tend to choose local places for a dinner out, places with bistro style foods, good happy hours, or tasty beers on tap. This time, we went to Shari's, so this date wasn't for the fine dining...rather, it was a little bit of a 'throwback' for both of us. Are we the only ones who spent countless evenings in high school hanging out with friends at places like Shari's and Applebee's? We spent several nights there in our youth - after concerts, youth group, days at the lake, and other activities.
We intended to go for dessert, but my appetite had been a little 'wonky' that day, and I was pretty hungry. So, we ordered mozzarella sticks, and then we both got breakfast for dinner. As expected, the food wasn't amazing, but it was nostalgic. It was really great because Shari's was pretty quiet that night, which seemed to fit with both of our moods. We had fun perusing the giant menu, and felt like kids again, ready to order whatever sweet thing sounded good. Doing something different, yet familiar, was a nice change to our routine. We've since joked that we might need to do some more cheap late night dinners after busy days.
