Guess what? Another food blog. Tonight to celebrate(!) my 74th birthday we went to Al Di La, the best if not only good Northern Italian restaurant in a land of great restaurants. On previous occasions I got osso buco, but it was not on the menu tonight. We had four courses, although we each only had three. My first was Carpaccio and Durelle's was a bruschetta salad.. Here's a picture of my Carpaccio.
. For the second course I had tomato basil soup. It was outstanding, Ann. Durelle had asparagus risotto with seared scallops.
Durelle did not have the third course, but I had a veal/pancetta dish from local veal that would melt in your mouth.
The fourth course was a house made Tira Misu. This was for Durelle, although I had a taste as she did of my veal.
We finished with decaf for her and a cappuccino for me. The wine was a Chianti Classico.
As you can tell, it was a nice meal, and for the next three months I will be as old as she is.
