Postponing date night

Tonight was supposed to be date night. Hanno bought a voucher (Groupon or something similar) for a lovely meal for 2, set menu 3 course dinner, at a fancy schmancy restaurant in Sandton. And then he got sick. :(

I mean, I applaud the sentiment, he doesn’t feel it’s right to stay home from work and then go out in the evening. But oh, the menu. Orange and rocket salad or beef carpaccio to start, followed by a choice between grilled calamari, chicken with parma ham and tagliatelli, beef fillet medallions or a vegetarian lasagna, and then crepes suzette or cake for dessert.

Sounds awesome, no?

If he’s better tomorrow we’ll do it then, so all isn’t lost. And this gives me an extra day to eat healthy so I don’t have to feel guilty about the dessert tomorrow!

For my Joburg friends, by the way, this is the autumn set menu from Maximillien in Nelson Mandela square. It goes for R600 per couple. Watch this space for feedback.
