Girls night out

My mom and sister came in for the Memorial Day weekend. So of course we planned for an evening out. I also invited my friend J to join us for the occasion.
First on the agenda were these great looking vegetables along with some fried rice.
Then add some shrimp...
And chicken, scallops and of course some steak.
And we had dinner at the Japanese Steakhouse. This was a first for mom.

Then it was way to early to go home to kids and the movie we wanted to see was not available and we didn't have desert yet so what better place to go than ....
The Melting Pot. Also another first for mom.
Coffee and dessert were on the menu here. Of course the desert has to be set on fire!
"Yum" (aka words coined by J) for the pot of turtle chocolate and all the dippers! We cleared our plates.
And since it was mom's first visit she got fed a strawberry.
This pictures was for J because out of the at least 10 pictures we took, her eyes were closed in all of them!
And our waiters, Jeff and Darrel, who were quite the characters, and got a big tip for it, brought mom another special dessert which was absolutely delicious. (I think there were too many comas in that sentence so just remember to pause at each comma.)
Good and fun night with no responsibilities. And to top it off all kids (except one 16 year old) were in bed when we got home! What more could you ask for!
