Friday Night Dates : Punch Drunk Love

I'm inviting romance into my life

one Friday Night Date at a time
and documenting each one here on my little ol' blog.

I want to remember every detail
of these splendid home spun dates.

Punch Drunk Love

We are back in business, people!
Friday Night Date is back
and not a moment to soon.
The mister and I missed it so much.

We watched the film Punch Drunk Love.
This film is so awkward and sweet,
sometimes it's hard to watch
and then a moment later
it's just so touching and almost classic.

Here are the recipes...
