Pre dinner snacks last weekend with friends from our street



Missed taking photos of dinner as I was the BBQ chef. Arrived at table after turning off and cleaning up to find the platter of sausages and lamb steaks GONE. (Funny lot had hidden mine and left the empty platter)

One of their famous apple, raspberry and rhubarb crumble with ice cream (ended up going through 2 litres with 6 adults and 7 kids)



Then we had post-dessert desserts - yummy (used yogurt as the filler)

Lunch today at one of our favourite AKL eateries Amano. Tua tua spaghetti, lamb with basil & tomato and a side of beans with pecorino. Makes me want to retire in NZ, not sure if @QF WP can plan that one for us

 

[QF WP]

I can plan anything financially - like my retirement in 10 years ago so I can go to AKL and visit my friends over there more often and eat at places like that @Rugby ...

Some of the local Waiheke seafood for lunch today. The bento box is raw fish salad, rice, smoked prawn and potato salad. We also had a cup of oyster soup, and then another cup A long weekend here too, so the island is very busy.

Our second visit to Tantalus Estate, a year after the first, and it was the same high quality. We started with the duck liver parfait, followed by pork belly and the paua. Mains were the lamb and king fish, with a side of green beans. We stuck with Cachette Reserve Chardonnay 2015.
