Eating at home and away.

I started the week intending to have as many home cooked meals as possible because I knew we would be eating out a lot.

We had chicken stew and quinoa:

a sort of antipasto collection of roasted and marinated capsicums:

tomatoes with lemon and vinaigrette:

artichokes with a dipping sauce:

 

prosciutto:

 

marinated French beans and roasted almond slivers:

 

and bread and corn.

Bob made me my favourite poached eggs and anchovies for breakfast:

And finally, we had feijoada, Tuscan cabbage and couscous:

 

 

But, we also ate out.  We went to see the Bolshoi Ballet's "The Bright Spring" and popped into the Ole Restaurant in Southbank before the show for a quick serving of tapas.  In spite of us rushing them, we got excellent service and very good food. 

 

Fried olives:

 

Calamari and whitebait:

and Mussells

All  washed down with red wine sangria.

 This restaurant is worth going back for another visit.

We enjoyed the ballet too, plus the stroll along the waterfront afterwards:

 

 

 

We also popped into Le Bon Choix, in Hamilton one day for a coffee.  The range of breads and cakes is amazing:

 

 

 

We were very good and only had almond croissants, which tasted very good, though the pastry was a bit too thick and not flaky enough.
