Disclaimer: I have tried and tried to fix the spacing with the pictures and the bill recap, but I can NOT figure it out, so I'm sorry that it's not very pretty.

97. Dance with Justin to “our song”

We did this last night by candlelight in our apartment. After going to a wedding, I was feeling nostalgic, so we watched our wedding video, then danced to our song ("You Are" by Jimmy Wayne.) So sweet. :-)

10. Do "Restaurants A-Z"

Kansas City Dip N' Grill

This place just opened a month or so ago, so we decided to try it tonight. Again, nothing great. We just haven't had much luck with trying new places, lately! Here's the breakdown:

The decor was nothing fantastic. There was a vinyl tablecloth on the table. The booths looked pretty new. The waitstaff didn't have uniforms - which was very odd. Most of the waitresses were wearing black t-shirts, but our waiter was wearing a Tiger's jersey. And no one had name tags or anything, so it was kind of difficult to even tell who worked there and who was just walking around. Haha. The menu was very small. Apparently they specialize in dips. They had lots of different kinds, but most had lots of veggies in them (onions, mushrooms, asparagus) - and we (ok, I) are not crazy about vegetables. They also had a few burgers, sandwiches, and salads. There was one kind of steak offered, and three Mexican options. No dessert.

Justin ordered the steak. He got two sides: fries and the southwestern dip n' chips. It cost $12.99. Here is the dip n' chips:

Sorry, we ate some before I remembered to take the picture. I didn't really like the dip. It tasted like the stuff you get at the grocery store deli counter. Very sour creamy.

And here is his steak:

I had a bite of his steak. It was spicy, but good. He liked it. The fries were nothing special.

I ordered the chicken caesar salad, just because I wasn't very hungry and nothing else jumped out at me:

Aren't those croutons so weird looking? Haha. It was just ok. There wasn't nearly enough dressing, and it was weird to me because they mixed in the chicken (instead of just putting on top in strips), so the whole salad was warm.

So the bill looked like this:

Justin's steak: $12.99

My salad: $8.59

My cherry coke: $1.99 (Justin had water)

Total (with tax): $24.98

Tip: $4.00 (he wasn't very good)

Total: $28.98

Overall, it was fine. Nothing special. We probably won't go back again. Minus 10 points for no Dr. Pepper. Plus five points for free refills, though! Haha. Minus 20 points for grammar errors in the menu. The word "choices" NEVER has an apostrophe in it!! C'mon people!

So here's our "cute couple" picture of the night:

Justin wouldn't let me take it in the booth, so we did it out in the foyer:

I don't know why Justin looks so weird in this picture, and I am definitely make-up-less and windblown, but we were going low-key tonight. :-)
