We met up at AMC for Aquaman and then had a late dinner at Carrabba&#8217;s after. It worked out great because it had been a while since the four of us got to hang out and, since we were all having our own NYE parties, we couldn&#8217;t be together on NYE. Brian and I would normally attend theirs but decided to take one for the team and host our own NYE party this year.<\/p>\n<p>The movie was great except for a few gratuitous scenes which made me chuckle. Brian calls it Jason Momoa&#8217;s version of Blue Steel. LOL.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/45608439685\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7870\/45608439685_781de157a3.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dinner was fabulous, as always. Joe even came by and visited for a bit and took a photo with us. Brian and I usually order the same thing every time so we were excited to show him that we actually ordered something different time.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/45797738414\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4808\/45797738414_cca3372873.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brian got a pizza and I got the pork tenderloin.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/32648315988\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7863\/32648315988_1c0dd46687.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Amy and Hideki split the trio.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/32648316018\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7876\/32648316018_1c0dd46687.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brian had a beer, while Hideki, Amy, and I shared a pitcher of the blackberry sangria (it&#8217;s my favorite sangria at Carrabba&#8217;s). I&#8217;m sometimes tempted to get a pitcher of it for myself, which Brian frowns upon. I have actually drank a whole pitcher by myself before. It&#8217;s not pretty. It was nice to be able to share it with others this time around.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/31581574397\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4901\/31581574397_f764f027d0_c.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We wanted to do something nice for Hideki and Amy so bought dinner but Amy got an added bonus of getting a bag of gluten free pasta imported from Italy. What a treat! Speaking of treats, it&#8217;s always a pleasure hanging out with these two. They are such a joy to be around! Perhaps we can get together again after they return from their trip to Thailand. I can&#8217;t wait to hear about their adventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had a fun double date with Hideki and Amy a few weeks ago.
