Yesterday afternoon the Hubz declared that last night would be date night, and who am I to pass up on date night. We decided to do dinner and a movie since we have been talking about going to the movies for weeks now and there was finally something that we both wanted to see.
How could I pass up a date with this hunk?
Since we are trying to be more frugal with our dining out we decided to use one of our Living Social deals to Asiana Noodle Shop, a favorite spot of ours where I usually get a giant bowl of noodle and vegetable soup that I could fit my whole head in. Last night neither of us were in the mood for noodles so we flipped to the back of their extensive menu and decided to both get sushi.

It was so delicious and came with a bowl of miso soup that he kindly shared with me.
I ordered the Union Maki which was so delicious and MASSIVE but don’t worry I had no trouble eating the whole thing, I even ate the salad on the side. I was hoping that Asiana had a description of the roll on their online menu but they don’t seem to but basically it was filled with asparagus, fried tofu, cucumber and sesame peanut sauce rolled and topped with tofu skin and avocado- DELICIOUS!
After dinner we walked around, popped in Stone Soup for a vegan macaroon and then we were off to the movies to see Margin Call.
So this is when I proceeded to have the most expensive nap of my life. The movie cost $9.25 (remember the good ol’days when movies were like $5?) well I made it about half way through and I just couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer. The movie wasn’t bad or boring so much as just really slow and not that exciting. I decided it just wasn’t a theater movie for me. I would have done so much better watching it at home while multitasking. The Hubz on the other hand really enjoyed the movie, he agreed that at times it was really slow moving but he really enjoyed all the character development.
Have you ever fallen asleep at the movies?
Which one did you see?
We saw margin call- see in above post.
That vegan chirashi looks amazing – I need to find something like that in my area! Or maybe make a homemade version at the house.
I haven’t fallen asleep in a theater that I can remember, but I definitely have when watching a movie at home. 🙂
Oh my Lord. That Union Maki looks delicious! I’m trying to go full vegetarian, but sushi keeps holding me back. If sushi joints could make THAT roll, I would be able to do it, hands down!
Yes, I’ve fallen asleep at then movies. I have tried to make it all the way through the movie “The Prophecy” several times in the last 15+ years and haven’t ever been able to make it through the first hour without zzzz…
