Fine Dining

Andrew & I stopped by a delightful restaurant a week or so before my gall bladder surgery. We hadn't intended to go out, but we are glad we did. Bucatini Restaurant & Bar in Mitcham is really a wonderful place to go. The service was phenomenal and the food was the best we've had in a long time. Andrew had lasagna (we haven't had my Mom's in a few years!) and I had a chicken in avocado sauce over fettucine. The wine was amazing and the desserts were lovely. If you get a chance to go, we highly recommend it.

One thing I love about eating out is the fresh herbs, spices and other ingredients that are used. I'd love to emulate this in my own kitchen, but it is so much easier to used the dried spices and frozen ingredients. There's no denying the difference; kitchen chefs impress me, and their ability to not only cook something delicious but also time everything to come together so well is a real treat.

Right now we are enjoying eating in, as lots of friends have pitched to make sure we have plenty of delicious food for Andrew to prepare for us. It will last a while, because after my surgery my appetite is quite small (although my taste buds seem as happy as ever).
