# 45

45. Have a monthly date-night with Geoff (11/34)

At the end of October, Geoff and I had a date night to celebrate his birthday. We went to the new hibachi restaurant, and it was pretty good. Afterwards, we went to visit David for a drink. It was nice to get to be out just the two of us, and while there is no way that we'll be able to finish this item ("maternity leave" pushed us very far behind), I do want to keep going with it. I also wish that I had though to ask someone to take a picture of the two of us, but I guess that will just have to wait until November's date.

# 19 and # 20

19. Use the crockpot for dinner sixty times (33/60)
20. Try at least two new recipes a month (36/68)

I'm very behind on posting, but about two/three weeks ago I made Easy Barbecue Beef Sandwiches. They came out pretty well, but the cost of the meat means that it is something that we won't be making very frequently.

Last week, I made Sloppy Joes. I thought that they were great, but Geoff isn't the biggest fan. Peter also seemed to like them, but more liked to eat them off of the bun. I will be making them again, but not quite as often as I would like.

For both of these meals, I was apparently too hungry to remember to take a picture, so unfortunately, you'll have to use your imagination.
