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

What I Ate Wednesday

Hey Hey!

 

 

Welcome back to my blog and to my very first 'What I Ate Wednesday'.

 

I find these posts really interesting when others do them, so thought I would give it a go! Please leave me a comment if you would like to see this become a regular thing.

 

 

I start my day with breakfast once my little munchkins are off to school, this morning I had a warming bowl of porridge, made with semi-skimmed milk, I put a few raspberries on top and sprinkle of cinnamon, so yummy and perfect for these really cold mornings!

 

 

I try to drink lots of water throughout the day, but always have a big glass midmorning with my coffee and a snack, today I had a Granny Smith apple and a Decaffeinato Intenso from the Nespresso range, I LOVE our Nespresso machine so much!

 

 

I've really not been enjoying cooking at all lately so my lunch was completely lazy! Shop bought sushi!

Tasted good though!

 

 

My boys came home from school starving so I made them a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, always goes down with them and that's important because they are so so fussy!

 

My husband and I tucked into a huge plate of pork stir-fry with egg noodles and sweet chilli sauce, It was delicious (even if I do say so myself!) and really filling. I had it with another large glass of water....trying to meet my daily quota!

 

 

So that's it! I really hope you enjoyed this, if you want to see more from me please pop over to Facebook and Instagram and follow along!

 

I'll be back here later this week with a Valentines inspired post that I am really excited about!

 

see you soon!

 

Much Love,
