On Monday Robyn and I enjoyed a night out on the town without kids, thanks to our newlywed friends Justin and Jessica who graciously babysat for us.
There is a restaurant up the road from our house that had always intrigued us. It is called “Jana’s”, and their specialty is Thai and Italian. That’s right, Thai AND Italian. There are no other places I know of with that unique combination. But the food was excellent. Not being able to decide on a Thai or Italian dish, we got one of each and split them between us.
A pleasant surprise was running into a young man there whom we have gotten to know recently, Peter. Peter is from Thailand and is a student at OU. Apparently, he began eating at Jana’s so frequently that the owners put him on a cafeteria plan; for one weekly fee he can eat all he wants. But, he also helps them out with cooking and waiting tables when they need it (he told us it is surprisingly simple to make Tiramisu!). Peter was our waiter, and an excellent waiter he was!
After dinner, we strolled down the strip-mall sidewalk to the dollar theatre (technically, the “dollar-and-a-half theatre”). There we watched the Wallace and Gromit flick, “The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.” It was hilarious, and it came with a one-man laugh track. The guy behind us was cracking up virtually the whole time. He definitely got his $1.50 worth of entertainment.
Not a bad way at all to spend a Monday night. Kids safely at home with good babysitters. Great food. Wonderful wife and date. Wallace and Gromit on the big screen. God is good.
