Welcome

Fall Date Night for Less

October 26, 2020

featured-image

It might seem weird to post about date night on a Monday, but Preston and I actually had a terrific Tuesday date night last week, and there were a couple of notes I wanted to share about it. Preston texted me a screenshot of the open evening reservation times at Emilia around lunch time on Tuesday, and asked me to pick my preference (love him so much!). It was such a surprise and a fun treat. We have both wanted to go forever, and I was talking about it again the previous weekend- so sweet that he was paying attention and took action!

I forgot to wear mascara somehow on this day- if my eyes look a little sleep that’s why haha

I haven’t worn riding boots in YEARS. I think they’re coming back in style a little bit though? I like it! I just need to break these in, I have to admit I have blisters from wearing them just a few hours!

It’s pretty hard to get a reservation at Emilia on the weekend, but it turns out a Tuesday is pretty good!

It actually lined up perfectly, because I had previously seen @girlseatknox share the $10 spaghetti and meatballs special Emilia has each Tuesday, and it looked so good I would have ordered it as a special or not. I think this is such a good thing to know, because we could basically eat here for just around $25, which is pretty great for a special night and a nice dinner.

We also stopped at Cruze Farm to share a calf size pumpkin ice cream, it was so good!

My sweater was also a “special,” at just $32! I think it looks and feels like way higher quality than a $30 sweater typically is. I do highly recommend sizing down at least one size!

Shop the rest of my outfit here: Hat (similar), sweater (exact), jeans (similar), boots (similar), earrings (similar)

🍋 lemonade recipe to enjoy all summer long: I 🍋 lemonade recipe to enjoy all summer long: 

Ingredients:
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons), or more if you like it super tart! 
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice
- Lemon slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the sugar. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved to make a simple syrup. My grandma just put the sugar directly into the lemonade which was so delish! But I played around with doing this and think it incorporates really well. 

Let cool, then mix with lemon juice and remaining 3 cups of cold water. Optional! The tiniest dash of vanilla extract and very thinly sliced lemons. 

Taste and adjust sugar or water if needed. 

Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices.
