Good day Bloggets. I hope I find you well, Happy and safe.
We went out with friends last night for a meal, leaving a very happy Son at home. He was chatting with his friend. We went to a new restaurant and what a good place for a vegetarian to go to? Have you guessed it?
A steak house. Hub was looking forward to going out with our friends, but not so much for the meal, as he says you can’t get a decent steak in the UK. He said he hasn’t had a steak quite like what he had in the US. Somehow, they know how to cook their meat. Haha, surely a cow is a cow? I honestly didn’t know what on earth I would have. I imagined me having a salad with some chips, but they surely would be cooked in animal fat? But our friends are good to be with so it was the company we wanted.
We met our friends and walked in the place, it used to be an Indian restaurant and it was awful. But as soon as we walked in, the atmosphere was professional and vibrant, not as in noisy, but a lot of chatting, thankfully not loud music and we could hear what was going on.
My food was about to go oopsie. I had a bad day yesterday as in I was so hungry all day. Hub was off work on a holiday, so it was more difficult not to eat. It was just crackers but still, too many of them, I had four large ones and about five small. No butter or cheese, but that is more than I would normally have in a day.
Our friends had olives, I had one it was the most delicious olive I have ever tasted and I have had loads. I had three pieces of cheese bread. Then my meal came, we only had main courses as it wasn’t cheap. It was quite expensive food, we thought… I basically had pasta with spinach in a sauce, now, I don’t like pasta, but that was the only vegetarian option available. This didn’t even taste like pasta. It was absolutely stunning; the texture was magnificent. The sauce was the nicest creamy cheese sauce I have ever had in my life. Oh my. Words can’t describe just how good it was. I didn’t want it to end. The flavour, and flavour with a lot of food for vegetarians is quite bland. This was exciting and I honestly would give the meal 10 out of 10.
The others had desserts, but not me. I was so full. That was the most I have eaten in three weeks. Hub said his steak was so very close to the taste he had in the US. He said even the chips were delicious. He said he wasn’t even listening to our conversation at the table because he was so lost in his meal.
Our friend had steak and his wife four lamb chops. It was a lovely evening, afterwards we called back at their house for a drink… Me, party animal had a cup of tea as did my friend and the men opened the drinks cabinet. Hub had a very posh brandy and something called slow something. He gave me a taste of it, it was nice but I enjoyed my cup of tea.
We walked back home and afterwards the night went downhill. Sadly, I can’t have more than a few hours without something going wrong. But we live to have another day. As for today, busy this morning, continuing sorting out what we need for our kitchen. More on that later. Our dogs have enjoyed a free run and almost dinner time and nothing planned. The way in which I’m feeling now, not sure I will be eating. I will have to sort something out for Hub though. I doubt it will be anything exciting. My Son is sorting out something for his gf’s birthday.
Really missing my Mum today. Just need her so badly when I look at others with parents, I realise we just don’t have anyone like what my friends have. Just someone to give us a hand, someone to call in on and have a cup of tea, someone who we can ask advice from. I miss my Mum and Hubs Mum. I loved them both, it’s a scary time for us at the moment, and though Hub says he is fine, it’s not fair just how hard things can be, normal daily things. But as ever we will get there, it just may take time and a lot of hard work.
So here we are another weekend. Monday should be interesting. Until tomorrow with love
