We would normally eat out on the deck but, since our house faces the East, the front patio is actually nicer in the afternoons. Also, we moved our patio furniture down to the walkout pit a few months ago when we had people over for the Pacquiao fight and never moved it back up so we haven&#8217;t really been able to sit out on our deck since then.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/8562151579\/\"  title=\"20130315_181511.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8382\/8562151579_4c33cf1d2a_z.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"20130315_181511.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brian fixed us a couple of salads and poured us some wine.

The only thing that could have made it better was adding some hard-boiled eggs. The salads were a last minute decision though so we didn&#8217;t have any hard-boiled eggs ready.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/8562401324\/\"  title=\"20130315_181604.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8087\/8562401324_3aa0942706.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"20130315_181604.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even so Brian and I had a wonderful dinner. The best part is that we finally found white wine that we both like so we no longer have to open two separate bottles of wine each time. I can&#8217;t wait until we have another wonderful day like Friday so we can enjoy another meal outside. Dining al fresco is definitely a great date idea and should be on everyone&#8217;s to-do list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had wonderful 80 degree weather here in Wichita last Friday so Brian and I decided to dine al fresco.
