Last night was date night. Every Wednesday night we have no kids because they are with their other parents. I don’t know how we would survive without it. The mid-week respite we call it. We really need the time to recharge. The last few weeks have been especially hard because of the ecomony and the strain it has put on our business.  I cooked a romantic dinner for two from a recipe I got in my new cookbook, Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics. I made Mustard-Roasted Fish which I adapted to my taste and for two. It is listed in my  recipe section. It was soooo good. I will definitely make it again.

Afterward, we went in the hot tub and then Paul gave me a deep tissue massage that was so relaxing I fell asleep.
