Dinner and a show! The perfect date night!
Dinner
Last night, Ryan and I had plans to see a show at the Ocala Civic Theatre and decided to prolong our date and grabbed dinner beforehand at Carrabba’s.
We’ve had a gift card to Carrabba’s for more than a year now and it was time to use it!
Dinner started with a warm loaf of freshly baked bread with olive oil for dipping.
I had three pieces and could’ve easily taken down the whole loaf myself. Pace yourself, Julie.
For my entrée, I ordered the Insalata Johnny Rocco, which came with grilled shrimp, scallops, roasted red peppers, olives and ricotta cheese, all tossed in a vinaigrette dressing.
The scallops were the highlight for me!
Ryan and I ate our meals at the bar overlooking the pizza oven and had fun talking with the man who was in charge of making pizzas and desserts. We asked him about his favorite dessert and he steered us toward the cannolis.
Done!
That creamy filling is what dreams are made of and after Ryan and I each polished off our respective cannoli, we both said we wanted more. Once my sweet tooth checks in for the night, it doesn’t check out.
Fiddler on the Roof
After dinner, we drove over to the Ocala Civic Theatre to catch the 8 p.m. show of Fiddler on the Roof.
Neither of us had seen the show before, though we both recognized a handful of the songs in the musical.
The show itself was really good! I wished the ending would’ve been a little different, but I found the musical funny, sweet and definitely entertaining.
It was a lovely date night! 
P.S. The Fashion page was updated this morning.
Fiddler is one of my favourites- I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!
Bread and olive oil is so such a simple yet gourmet thing to get on a dinner date. I love your dress!
Hannah@Mindrunningwild
I love your dress! And dinner looks so delicious! My kind of summer evening!
Anna @ Food Fitness and Frolicking
love that dress!
Danielle @ Itsaharleyyylife
I’ve never actually had a cannoli but I am all the more intrigued!!
Khushboo
What was the green stuff on the plate of the cannoli? And the filling of the cannoli? Never had one before
Rowen
pistachios! and the filling had chocolate chips in it. the cannolis are basically fried pastry dough, filled with a sweet, creamy filling. so good!
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers
Is that a pistachio cannoli? Those are my absolute favorite kind! Usually I can turn down desserts, but not a cannoli!
Also, your dress is really cute, I love how it criss-crosses over.
Jenn
yes! loved ‘em.
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers
Great show, and one of my favorites! Sadly, the ending is representative of historical reality for Jews during that period in Russia.
The dinner looks delicious!!
Kelly
I’m with ya on the ending of Fiddler on the Roof. I’ve seen it and acted in it a handful of times but I am no fan of the ending…Sounds like a great date night though and I love the dress!
Katie

How cute! I LOVE your dress!
Liz @ Iheartvegetables
Wow that dress is adorable! I have the exact same thing with my sweet tooth, once I have something sweet, it’s like I crave it more and more! It’s a vicious [delicious] cycle.
Amy @ Inspiredamy
I love Carrabas! As soon as I saw that bread & oil I knew it was it. I love the Chicken Bryan. I think it might be the only thing I’ve ever ordered. Lol
Lauren @ Part Time House Wife
Nevermind!
Anon

Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers
Lol that Ryan is a clever guy
Lauren @ Part Time House Wife
I don’t see a fashion page update posted!

I go to a community college in Alabama and Fiddler on the Roof was the play they worked on all spring!! I enjoyed it too … I just hated that the family was split up all over the world.
Marissa
Mmm, I love cannolis!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake
I’ve always wanted to see Fiddler on the Roof!
Oh my goodness…those cannolis. I think I’m in love.
Lindsey @ Gingerbread Bagels
oh gosh that bread looks so incredibly doughy – I would have ate a majority of the loaf
P.S – LOVE the dress on you. Looks super comfy
Kailey
mmmm, Carrabba’s! I do miss going there…the bread is so good! Looks like a fun night!

Flidder on the Roof is probably my favorite musical. I am glad you enjoyed.
Rachael
What a cute dress! I need to start going to more musicals and theater shows this summer. Dreamgirls is already on the books.
Alysha @Shesontherun
Yum I love Carrabbas!! My sweet tooth was in full effect last night, too. I refused to go to bed until I found someplace to get ice cream!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated
Your dress is lovely!
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes
Hey,
I have read ur website for about 4 months now along others in the USA and want to say how inspirational it is, I love getting inspiration from your workouts to fuel my own and find them challenging, rewarding and effective. I also like the fact that you allow yourself the treat now and again, brownies, ice cream, it makes it much more real.
My dad and brother live in New Mexico and I find when I visit the whole health and fitness lifestyle so much easier, calories on menus, gyms in hotels (we don’t get any of that over here).
That aside, I am probably making up for for 89% of people who read your blog but never comment.
Hope you are having a good weekend.

I think I could get on board with a job where I was in charge of making pizza and desserts – that sounds pretty amazing!
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde
I love Carabbas. I always get Spiedino Di Mare with shrimp and scallops, yum. Just seeing that bread make my mouth water. Sadly there are no Carabbas near me. I always look for them when traveling.
Shari
Oh, I just LOVE Fiddler. I have been in it three times. Hodel, Schpritze (one of the two youngest daughters) and Fruma Sarah.

Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to generate a top notch article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot
and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.
