What I Ate Wednesday

Hey Hey! 
Happy Hump Day.
 

Welcome back and as promised, to a new what I ate Wednesday. 

Today wasn't a usual day, I had such a huge meal at lunch time I couldn't stomach an evening meal. 

I started my day with a pint of water as usual, along with a decaf Neapresso, a banana and the breakfast of champions, 50/50 toast with plastic cheese! Not good for you but yummy! 
 

And of course, a blob of ketchup!

Steve and I decided to head to Dorchester, initially to look at some house hold stuff, but decided to go for a quiet childfree lunch while the boys were at school.
Nando's was the restaurant of choice! We had a hankerin' for some chicken!
We started with hummus, warm pita bread and piri-piri drizzle, delicious!

Our starter was followed by the butterfly chicken for me, with chips and piri-piri salt and coleslaw, Steve had the Churrasco burger, with piri-piri salted chips and garlic bread, we both went for the medium spice option, a little kick but full of flavour!

We were both stuffed after this, but had some time to kill before the school pick up, so of course it would have been rude to not indulge in desert! I'm so pleased we did, it was so so good! Neither of us could move after but it was well worth it, Caramel Cheesecake, Steve had cream with his....this was probably the best cheesecake I've had in a long time! It was of course finished with an Espresso for me and Double Espresso for Steve, we love our coffee!

 

Yum! A lovely impromptu day date with my man! Something about the sunny weather makes me want to get out and about and today was perfect for it!

That's all for now!
Have a great rest of the week, ill be back on Friday with a look at a new summer outfit I recently purchased from Yours Clothing.

Take care lovelies,

Much Love,

What I Ate Wednesday - Date Night Eddition.

Evening all, and happy Wednesday......it's still Wednesday right? I swear the days just mush together at the moment!

 

I'm sat in bed, my children are finally tucked up beneath their pug sheets, and quiet, kind of. They were both shamefully sent to bed early tonight for bad behaviour, Harry was sent to the Headmistress' office, he's 6, my 6 year old was sent to the Head....oh the shame!

He sheepishly came home with his tail between his legs, and after a lengthily rollicking made a 'I'm Sorry' card that he will deliver to school in the morning, little sod.

Yes, I am one of those mothers that isn't ashamed that occasionally, the halo my children directly inherited from their angelic mother slips, I actually detest that kind of mother, that insists their child is perfect and does no wrong. My children are perfect, perfectly normal! They can be badly behaved, cheeky and sometimes push me to the brink of Vodka! They are also beautifully loving and kind souls, pretty intelligent too....another thing they must get from me, but anyway, I digress.

 

This post is a What I Ate Wednesday!

Although, it doesn't feature food I ate on a Wednesday, it's actually bloody lovely scrummy grub I ate on Sunday when my handsome husband and I escaped for a few hours and had a meal in peace!

It was a long time coming and I loved every second. We visited Carluccio's in the next town. It was a first for us both and we were not disappointed! Everything we ate and drank (oh how I love a Peach Bellini, or two) was beautiful, and the service was wonderful.

Ready for the onslaught of pictures?! Here we go!

 

Rocket, yellow and red tomatoes with mozzarella and capers, drizzled with olive oil and herbs.

 

Sea Bass with a barley, tomato, sun dried tomato and rocket salad.

 

Veal wrapped in Parma ham cooked in a sage and white wine sauce, served with rosemary potatoes.

 

More potatoes!

 

Lemon and Watermelon sorbet.

 

A selection of Italian cheese....mmmmm cheese!

 

The obligatory coffee, we like our coffee!

 

Corr, makes me hungry all over again!

I definitely recommend this place, everything was beautiful, and the atmosphere was so relaxed. I can't wait to go back again soon.

 

And of course, a date night isn't complete without the obligatory selfies!

 

 

I love the in-car make up mirror......great lighting for a sultry selfie!

 

So that's all for today, i'm slowly getting back to normal and hope to resume a regular schedule asap....so you'll have more of my ramblings to look forward to! sorry guys ha!

 

Until next time, be safe.

 

Much Love
