My thoughts kept hinging around our kids and whether there was enough milk to feed Verity back home. Guilt overcame me as I sipped the almond liquer and lychee martini. Come on, Clem goaded, just relax and enjoy our time together. Yeah, he was right, it was our time alone together.
Great to just spend the time chatting and wowing every now and then, like some suaku when the waitress did a menu presentation or brought us our food. Felt like our dating days again.
These days, even when we had our time alone together, it was usually spent speed-shopping, meal-gobbling, grocery-grabbing as we stole 1 or 2 hours away from our kids, cos I would need to go back and breastfeed.
Tonight, just let go. I've stored enough milk for the day.
Our personalised menu (our wedding date is not 23 Nov, but it was indicated as such cos we dined on that day)
Yummy onion and egg loaf. Enough to eat on its own.
Lobster bisque that tasted a bit bitter, probably bcos of the wine
Sauteed wild mushrooms which ended up looking like black fried carrot cake in the photo.
This was actually half a portion of the prime rib. Imagine how big the actual one was. We each took a half. It was cooked so nicely that I even gobbled up the fat which had a nice chewy texture.
Complimentary Morton chocolate cake with Haagen Daz ice cream and card with our photo
Our private corner
Happy 6th year of being married!
