Last night the hubby surprised me with a date night! He had scheduled his sweet momma to watch Charlie and took me out for a delicious Ramen dinner (my recent obsession).
When I arrived home from work, hubby had picked up flowers for Charlie, his mother and for me. So sweet, right?
Charlie loved her flowers. She carried them all over, put them on her baby, put them in the vase, poured them out of the vase, etc. She’s since ripped all of the petals off, but man did she enjoy them… as did I.

My pretty flowers!
Our ramen date did not disappoint. We had this delicious “Bratsticker” app… essentially a brat-stuffed potsticker. Mmmm! It had a mustard/horseradish sauce. YUM! I meant to take a picture, but I devoured it too quickly.
Mark and I had been to this restaurant a couple weeks back, so I was fully prepared to order. I had really loved what Mark ordered last time, but had a few tweaks. And let me tell you, my adjustments were perfection. Tochi Ramen with Tofu & Crispy Pork and a Fried Egg (cooked most of the way through) on top.
Holy cow was it good. In fact, I have leftovers at home and literally have not stopped thinking about it.
For dessert (I know, I know… was dessert necessary? Well, is it ever? Yes. The answer is yes.)… anyway, for dessert, we had Japanese Cheesecake with Carmel Sauce and Toasted Coconut. YUM. That’s all I have to say. So. Much. Yum.
Needless to say, this morning was most definitely a workout day!
I’ve been thinking lately about how I really would love a good bowl of ramen (but not the stuff I lived off of in college). 😉 I need to look into this and see if there’s an actual restaurant in the area that makes it. Your pictures are making my mouth water!!
And, yes, the dessert was DEFINITELY necessary! 🙂
I’m so glad you had such an amazing, surprise date! That’s so sweet that your hubby did that for you. And the pics of Charlotte with her flowers are just too adorable!
I hope you get your tasty ramen soon!! Thank goodness that place isn’t closer, or I’d be eating way too much of it!
