Luckily, as I was still so relaxed from the morning, instead of yelling and getting angry.... I just picked him up, carried him to the car (this was harder than it sounds), got in, drove home, handed him to Lewy (possibly with a desperate look in my eyes!), walked back to the car and drove back to the shops by myself... all without saying a word!
So in the end, we survived the ordeal! And I was particularly happy that I had a dinner out to look forward to!
(The photo quality is terrible... sorry... the phone can only handle so much!)
Chesters is a great restaurant, we had such a wonderful night.... sitting at the 'best table in the house' apparently (and I believe it, we were toasty warm next to the fire... bliss!)
My Entrée - Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Bellini, with artichoke hearts, asparagus & cherry tomatoes... beautiful!
Main - Wild mushrooms with garlic, spinach and cream sauce, in a filo pastry... my mouth is watering again just thinking about it! (Looks kinda simple, but the flavours were rich and delicious!)
We shared a cheese/cracker plate for dessert...
Feeling on a bit of a high from such a wonderful day!
-----------------
And quickly.. before I head to bed.. here is a quick, easy way to make a Vegetable & Chickpea Curry. I probably shouldn't add this to the blog as it's kinda cheating using a packet rather than making the curry sauce from scratch, but I'm adding it anyway as this particular curry sauce has a gorgeous flavour and well, I took the photos so it's a waste not to put them up ha!.
So... chop up whatever vegies you like.. I used onion, cauliflower, carrots and celery then added a can of chickpeas.
Add a can of Light coconut milk, and a recipe base for whatever curry you like... this mild chicken curry is yummy, I've also used a mild Indian beef recipe base as well and that is just as good.
When there is about 45mins - 1 hour left of slow cooking time, I added broccoli and zucchini (so that they don't get zapped of all those nutrients with such a long cooking time)....
Goodnight all! It's back to reality now for me after such a wonderful day of being treated! xx
