For our date night this week, E took me Thai Chiang Rai, a Thai restaurant in North Canberra. E bought a voucher from GroupOn, which entitled us to an entree, 2 mains, rice and a bottle of wine for $49. We thought it was a pretty good deal, since our 2 mains alone would have costed around $50.

When E's parents and little brother (who isn't so little anymore, since he pretty much towers over me and is at uni *eeeek*) came, we took them to La Rustica.  I was keen to "show off" La Rustica to E's brother since he's pretty particular with his Italian food.  He's been living in Italy for a bit and is a bit of an Italian foodie.

It has been pretty cold lately here in ACT, yesterday around the time when we had to leave for work, it was -4 with apparent temperature of -9. Yes, absolutely freezing cold! I have been so cold this winter that I had no qualms in putting the electric blanket on (almost) all night ( Read more... )
