Stacks are Dinning Out: Penny Lane Pub

-
Tonight we went to Penny Lane Pub in Old Saybrook CT. It was the first restaurant on our new adventure of a date night out each week. 

Penny Lane Pub is located on Main Street in Old Saybrook. It took us 24 minutes to get there (according to the GPS). We parked a little bit down the street and walked up. When we first got in we had the choice of sitting inside or outside. Mark said outside, however i didn't bring a sweater with me, so we asked for inside. Then she said we could sit upstairs or down stairs, so we went upstairs. We were the first ones up there, but boy did it fill up quickly! The menu had a lot of great options.
Mark and I outside right after parking, i was trying to get a good pic of us, but i didn't notice my hair sticking straight out! 

So then i made Mark take a better pic of us while we were inside at the table. I like this one! 

Menu and the special sheet. 

Mark got Mammas meatloaf with mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. I got a taste, and it was so yummy! It had a sweet flavor to it. Mark wants the recipe now. 

I got a grilled polenta cake served with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, zucchini and squash with a balsamic glaze and cheese. It was amazing! I ate the whole thing, but i was so full after. I did track it for weight watchers. 

Both of our meals came with salads and bread. I got a dijon vinaigrette with my salad and Mark got the parmesan peppercorn. We loved our salads too. 

Overall we really enjoyed going out and having someone else cook and serve us. It was a nice change, and i look forward to keep trying new restaurants!

Happy New Years

Every year people make all kinds of resolutions... and typically people drop them by the second week in january, or if they are lucky, they can hold on until february. I had seen online the other day someones resolution was for people to start loving who they were and to accept themselves and to stop trying to always change.  NOW, i love that resolution and i hope people are able to accept who they are, except in my case i am not healthy, and not only do i want to become healthy, but i am stretching for a much larger goal, and i hope that i can accomplish it! Every year we always see the magazines post online and publish in their magazines people who are now half their size, and the before and after pictures. I want to be one of those people. I want to work and push hard to become someone who is proud for becoming healthy and fit.  I do have something as motivation, and that would be my cruise that is next year. I DO NOT want to look the way i currently am on the cruise, nor do

Safe Haven

 **SPOILER ALERT** I typically do not like to read the books that get turned into movies because i will usually end up hating the book or the movie. However, when i was up at bowling i got talking to one of the other girlfriends who hang out up there and we got talking about Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. She suggested to read it, and she even gave me her copy of the book.  Ive had it for a few months now, and still didnt read it. I started about a month ago, and for the first few chapters, the book followed the movie, so i could almost see the movie playing in my head as i read. So i put the book down for a while. Just this past week i picked it back up again, and i finished it within days. The story is different.  In the movie Alex finds out about Katie's past because of the "wanted" poster up with her picture, however it really plays more into him finding out and its more a gradual thing in the book. It also shows her relationship with Jo more than in the movie,

Visit a Corn Maze  On 10/23/14 Mark and I went to a corn maze before Michael's football game. It was shaped like a vikings hat, and it was actually really fun. I had been to one when i was little and i had always wanted to go back to one. I was finally glad that i found one that was affordable! Last year all the corn mazes i had found cost about $30 or more. This one was $7! Perfect and i can not wait to go again next year.  Visit a Fall Festival  On 10/25/14 the town of Essex, CT held their annual pumpkin festival. I had been many years prior when i was babysitting someone, and i loved it! This year i made sure to look up the date, and when Mark got out of work we drive 30 minutes. The festival was fun! They had all the pumpkins that were carved and lit up. They had a band playing music and food and hot chocolate. It was a nice little festival to walk around together with my boy.  Carve Pumpkins  As you know we had bought pumpkins a few weeks ago,
