On Saturday, my mother-in-law offered to watch all the grandkids so all the parents could have a nice little night out. It was much needed after the crazy week with the wedding so we gladly accepted the offer. THANKS Nana, Rachel and Colter!!! We are not the most creative when it comes to date nights and we usually do the typical dinner (usually Outback) and a movie so we tried to think of something outside of the box this time. We headed over to Ah-So for a little teppanyaki dinner and show. As you know, if you have ever done teppanyaki, not only do you get great food but you get a little show as the cook makes your food right in front of you while adding in some tricks for a few oohs and ahhs. Usually there is room for 8 people at each table but we only had one other couple at our table that night. As the show and meal progressed, the lady sitting at our table asked the cook what the clear liquid was he was using for the cooking. He quickly answered that is was Vodka as he gave a little half grin. I don't know about you, but for me it's a little hard to understand the Japanese sense of humor so I wasn't sure if he was serious or not, however, if I would have thought more I would have realized that it was indeed an alcoholic liquid or it wouldn't have made the cool little flames out of the onion volcano a few minutes earlier. Regardless, he turned to Glen after we shyly giggled at his Vodka response (not knowing if he was serious or not) and told him to open he mouth. Glen gave him a confused look and didn't do anything. Once again, we didn't know if he was serious or not and then the guy said it again, "Open". So without further ado, Glen opened his mouth not really thinking he was seriously going to do anything. Well, sure enough... without any hesitation, he was quickly choking and coughing while his throat burned from a straight shot of Vodka to the back of the throat!! Lesson learned... the clear stuff in the bottle is indeed Vodka and the confusing Japanese humor really isn't humor afterall! Would anyone care to join us for another shot (no pun intended) at teppanyaki where the Vodka is actually cooked off before it is served???

I would LOVE to! But does the Vodka reeeaaalllyyy have to be burned off before they serve our food?! lol Wish I could of been there! Last night was fun, thanks for the invite!
Ok but you know that Glenn secretly LOVED that shot of vodka. I'll go and hopefully I can get a shot of vodka without knowing it and kinda sort of against MY will.....cause it's not bad if you didn't really know it was vodka right? jk
Funny. My best friend once went to Chevy's and ordered a virgin strawberry daquiri and after drinking it, was acting sooo silly so I tasted her drink and realized there was total rum in it, NOT a virgin drink. That was so funny. Now she's a total alcoholic. jk
Too funny! They usually just flick a piece of meat into your mouth... can't believe he gave him straight vodka! But we'd love to go out to dinner some time.
