You can tell Autumn is creeping in... the mornings are very fresh and chilly and this morning there was a mist hanging around.

Can you see this one - it was a long single web going horizontally from one bush to another then a 'drop line' to the ground - all dewy. Lucky I didn't walk through it! Erk!

As if my social life hasn't been busy enough lately, we headed to Adelaide on the weekend to finish up the painting at the unit - well Gus did the painting, we watched! Kirby prepared this lovely salad to go with the King George Whiting Gus prepared.

Saturday night, we dined at Enzo's Ristorante. Unfortunately, when we got there, they had us booked in for the Pizzeria but we had intended to be in the restaurant. We showed great disappointment and were then told if we waited 30 minutes they would be able to seat us. Thank you! Exactly 30 minutes later, we had a table in the middle of the restaurant. Bravo!
Gus chose this white wine because he knows the wine maker... The Lane...

This was my 'entree' sized main - Ravioli alla Bolognese - Enzo’s own meat filled ravioli with Bolognese sauce. Delicious - and I only ate half!

Bri chose the Gnocchi alla Napoletana - Potato dumplings hand made from Mondello farm’s royal blue potato with Napoletana sauce. So very tender.

For main, Gus had Quaglie alla brace - Char-grilled marinated quails, served with a tomato, red onion, cucumber, olive and basil salad

Brianna chose a rich chocolate mousse for dessert (sorry, I couldn't find the desserts listed on the on-line menu)

It looks like you had a beautiful weekend Joolz.
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you can spend this time with your daughter helping her settle in. I hope her year goes well.
What a lovely weekend! The prawns and potato bake look delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhen you say Autumn is on its way, it reminds me that Spring is on its way here. It usually lasts about 30 minutes and then goes straight into 100 degree days. :(
ReplyDeleteEverything looks SO yummy. And I think being so self-disciplined with the entree/main was a perfect way to enjoy your tiramisu!
What a great week end you had.....We are still in Mid summer no sign of Autumn yet..We are getting lots of summer storms which is good...
