Its our fourth wedding anniversary today. Check the date and you can easily do some simple math to work out how long we've been married for :)
Coco Bongos, a neuvo latino restaurant in Ridgefield, CT, only 20 minutes away. Lighting just right, with little candles set in insets in the custom made stone wall, and in artistic spiral cast iron swirls on the other walls. And cute sparkling stars flashing above the central palm tree. Cozy atmosphere, excellent and fast service, absolutely delicious food (I had the Carne Latina and Sigrid had the Churrasco, am going to have that one myself next time), with a lovely bread and dipping sauce to go with it. And the dessert was out of this world.
And the tasty Caipirinha cocktail (a Brazilian drink made with lime, sugar, lots of ice and a sugar cane-based drink called cachaça) I had with the meal was oh so strong and made me happy and sleepy - Sigi drove home :)

Laughing Gas
"Breedbate": to pass gas while laughing. This was just one of several weird answers we made up for even weirder words in a game of Balderdash.
"Bantling": the offspring of a hedgehog, or a lame duck? No, its actually a spoiled brat.
"Mortress": dead hair, or a wall built to keep firebrands out in 1524? Sorry, its a hearty meat and vegetable stew.
"Leveret": an incorrect yet humorous answer, or a small lever? Nope, a small rabbit.
We won't mention who was doing most of the laughing, but it was the same as the one that made us run for the air freshener :-/

Dark Side Cookies
Playing a game of Horse Lovers Monopoly, that Charlotte got for Christmas (and was over-the-moon about).
Jake lands on Sigi's stable, and has to pay up big. He thinks quick, and offers instead an alliance.
"Join the dark side. We have cookies. Low-fat cookies."
How could she refuse an offer like that?
