How about a greyhound? Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and vodka anyone? This drink takes me back to Florida spring breaks. My sis Kathi, two friends and myself stayed in a house with a grapefruit tree one spring break. We squeezed grapefruit juice in the morning, added vodka and put it in the freezer for sipping by the pool in the afternoon. Bliss.
While Hubby was making me a drink I prepped the salads. I peeled, removed all pith from the grapefruit. Layered fresh mixed greens on the plates, added the grapefruit and sliced avocado.
Saturday night was date night for Hubby and I. When our guys were little we started having date nights at home. We put the guys to bed early, told them they could read or play quietly in their rooms and while Hubby was tucking them in I made us a dinner for two. Looking back I think our boys really respected these evenings and it was nice for Hubby and I. Much easier than getting a sitter.
Now Hubby makes the greyhound for me.

For the dressing I mixed olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh ground black pepper, a shake of tarragon and honey. Drizzle over the salad and enjoy!
While I was making salads Hubby was grilling steaks.

Sometimes we watch a movie after dinner or play games. This time Hubby agreed to Scrabble! I love Scrabble, he hates Scrabble. Scrabble= True Love.
We both picked the music.
Rossington Collins Band, Don't Misunderstand Me always gets played.
It's a fun duet...

I love your drink idea. In MO we have SAMs club; however we too have had delicious grapefruit. I'll tell Troy to whip up a drink for me. Also: I love scrabble too (not T) and we also had date night while kids were little. Great minds think alike!
I want to know if max was upstairs reading, giving you all a little privacy!
The way you two cook, I'd never want to go out to eat!!!! Love the love that's flowing at your house!!
