The kids were all hyper and loud enough that I really didn't get much chance to interact with Dan and Amy, who were at the far side of our long set of three tables put together. I did instruct them, however, to take this rare night out with everyone as a sort of trial run and further evidence in our ongoing debate about whether or not to bring the kids along for a summer villa rental in Tuscany some time in the next few years. Mike and Donna have long since opined that that would be a great opportunity for the grandparents to enjoy quality time with the kids, while Dan and Amy have been on the fence. So that got a good laugh. My hanger steak special was alright, better with the chutney it came with than by itself, as I didn't think the marinade was terribly distinctive. The corn and shrimp cowder I had beforehand was probably a more adventurous taste for the evening for me.
