Step 1: Find someone you can tolerate for more than 10 minutes.

Step 2: Pick a classy restaurant in town and show up in camo-colored clothes.

(Okay, so this wasn’t us, but I did see a guy at the restaurant wearing camo. That’s Alaska for you.)

Step 3: Arrange for the waitress to be a girl your husband took to a formal dance in high school.

Step 4: Order salads so you can claim you ate “healthy.”

I ordered the Spinach with Apple-Thyme Vinaigrette Salad
Fresh spinach and arugula with creamy goat cheese, Grand Marnier marinated cranberries and cayenne spiced cashews.

Craig’s salad: Classic Caesar
Torn hearts of romaine and garlic-butter ciabatta croutons tossed with our housemade creamy dressing and finished with Parmesan.

Step 5: Embarrass yourself by taking lots of pictures of your food.

Oh, and make sure to swap plates with your date so he can take a picture on his side of the table because there’s better lighting.

We split an entree. I don’t remember what it was called, but it included rock fish, clams, and reindeer sausage. It was really good!

Step 6: Order an amazing dessert because no meal would be complete without a little sugar!

Oatmeal Stout Carrot Cake
Glacier BrewHouse Oatmeal Stout, baby sweet carrots, dried apricots and pecans with mascarpone filling.

Step 7: Pay for your entire meal with a gift card. (Thanks, Stuart!)

Step 8: Go to Barnes and Noble and read as many magazines and book as you can for free! (Thanks for the suggestion Janae!)

Step 9: Go home and go to bed because you’re an old married couple.

Question

Do you share food with your date when you eat out?

Craig and I almost always share our food. It is like getting two meals for the price of one!
