Come Treat Yourself to a Date Night with Dinner Tonight! Featuring Mediterranean Style Food Demonstrations from Some of the Finest Chefs Around
Hosted by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
Whether it’s a first date or an anniversary surprise for your bride, going on dates doesn't always have to mean draining your wallet at fancy restaurants. There are plenty of affordable and entertaining dates you can go on with your beloved. After all, it's really the time you spend with your sweetheart that matters and not how much you're spending on the dates. 
But dating for long-term couples comes with its own new his and her matching set of pressures, especially when kids are in the picture. You no longer have the time to make sure you have five minutes together without interruption, let alone set aside an entire evening to dote on each other. So when the stars are finally aligned — you've cleared your calendars, you've found someone not featured on America's Most Wanted to look after the kids — you want the evening to be perfect, which practically begs for a Murphy's Law moment.  Don't sweat it!  We’ve done the work for you.  Texas A&MAgriLife Extension Service and Sabor A Pasion are hosting “Date Night with Dinner Tonight” that you don’t want to miss!
This event will be held Friday, August 7 from 6-8 p.m. at the Nacogdoches County Annex Building  in Nacogdoches Texas located on 203 West Main Street.The evening will include food demonstrations prepared by Stephen F. Austin’s very own Chef Todd Barrios, Executive Chef Simon Webster of Sabor a Pasion, and Family& Consumer Sciences Extension Agent Mandy Patrick.  Food demonstrations will highlight recipes that are easy to prepare and fit into a healthy meal plan with a few surprises from our chefs as well.  Samples of the recipes will be available for tasting by the entire audience.  Each participant will receive a flash drive copy of the 52 page Dinner Tonight Cookbook and door prizes will be given throughout the evening.  Jessica Theimer, RDN, LDProgram Coordinator for Dinner Tonight! will be on hand to demonstrate new and innovative kitchen gadgets that are sure to make a couples dinner more fun. 
 
The cost of the event is $35 per couple in advance or $40 at the door.  Tickets can be purchased from 8:00 am- 5:00 pm at the County Extension Office located on 203 West Main Street in the Courthouse Annex Building in Nacogdoches Texas.

            “This is a great way to learn another language. We have had people ask if we offer English or Spanish classes. While this is not a class, this is one avenue for English-speakers who are interested in practicing their Spanish skills to meet with Spanish-speakers who want to practice their English skills. We converse in one language for the first half-hour then switch to the other language for the second half-hour. We learn from each other and have a great time. All levels of speaking abilities are welcome. No registration is required,” says Mercedes Franks, library director.
