Saturday lunch

Tee hee!
I am so tickled that he makes such an effort to plan our weekend lunches!
I received a text mid-week, to guess what was in store. The only hint I had was that it was past the Mediterranean coast. I was thinking along the lines of the south African boboti, really!

Turned out, lunch was couscous with fresh home grown garden herbs and cherry tomatoes. It was just perfect for a hot Saturday!

The art of wrapping

Quite recently, we've been into wraps. I am pretty certain that I am becoming THE Gordon Ramsay of Wraps.

Really.

So sometimes, I put a whole lot of lettuce, red cabbage and cherry tomatoes. Other times, I use lentils, spinach, mushrooms as fillings. When we get a bit ambitious, we do cook the filling in italian passata with mushrooms and eggplant. On lazy days, I just drizzle with pure virgin olive oil and some salt.

Over the weekend, true to the italian saying that the best pizzas are eaten with fresh figs- we made wraps with figs and pine nuts.

It was sublime.

Weekend Pasta

We wanted to try something a little bit more fancy than our usual spaghetti or penne.

So we opted for Conchiglioni. Even before cooking it, I thought it looked real yummy, but boy, throw in broccoli, cauliflower and some cabbage- it was the best weekend treat, si si- perfetto!!

Night run

I was going to go for a run this morning before work, but since it was such a gorgeous evening last night, I could not resist going for a night run instead!


I am in love with Gardens by the Bay, gorgeous really!



Yums!

happy bdayy sweetheart!

while waiting for Mei and my crusted dory


the best salad I 've had!

may all things bright and beautiful be yours, and all your sweetest dreams come true!



Happy Bday dear!!!!

I finally get to meet Mei, Ivy's best bud!!!


We celebrated dear Ivy's big day last night at The Coffee Club, Orchard.

The service was great, the ever so smiley staff helped me suprise her with my mini cupcakes towards the end of dinner, and the food was awesome!

Naturally, we over-ate. Enjoyed the crepe champignons, the salmon pie thingy, the salmon caesar salad, and the crusty dory we had.

I was all gung ho about blogging about the place's menu at first, but hunger got the better of me, and after taking one miserable picture of our oh-so-delish salmon caesar salad, I dumped my poor camera aside and attacked the food! :P

I have been waiting a hundred years for Marley & Me to show on the cinemas here, and finally got to watch it !
Doggie fans- a definite must watch, but do bring along a box of tissues!!

Happy Bd once again!
kisses
