A DATE WITH MY HUBBY OR THE FOOD IS GREAT IN P.A.

A DATE WITH MY HUBBY OR THE FOOD IS GREAT IN P.A.
We are so lucky in Port Angeles to have the number of wonderful eating spots for such a small town - what a group of foodies we dropped anchor in the midst of!!!Last night finally made it to a little wine bar/restaurant called Bella Italia that we had up till then just stopped in to wine taste.

But last night, dinner!!Roy & I almost always order different entrees so we can taste more, but both of us just went gaga over their description of one of the 'specials' - "Roasted beet and goat cheese ravioli in saffron creme fraiche. Served with seared sea scallops"Oh my, the raviolis were just wonderful and now I just have to recreate these at home. And the scallops seared nicely brown, but just perfectly done and not over cooked.We had a bottle of Walla Walla Vintners, Columbia Valley Sangiovese and what a wonderful match it was.

We took a dessert home with us - a chocolate mousse, can't remember how the waitstaff described it, but when we got home and opened this beautiful gift box, there was a huge bowl-shaped tuile filled with the mousse. It was gorgeous and delicious!!Dessert always seems to taste better when you can curl up in your jammies and eat it while you watch a copied episode of Closure - love that show.We had a wonderful date nite!!!

Let's see if I can get my 4th set of comments posted instead of it disappearing into the mist...I am so happy you and Roy and enjoying your new home and new hometown. It sounds like you are having way too much fun up there.

Love you!
