New Camera

Berry simple is the title and what could be simpler than Affogato. I don’t know what it is about this dessert that appeals to me most but it has something to do with the fact that you get to mix the individual ingredients exactly the way you like them. It is served as a bowl of ice cream, a shot of espresso coffee and a shot of your liqueur of choice. Luckily for me it is one of J’s favourite desserts and so when I am trying to be all virtuous and say “Oh no I won’t have dessert thanks” I at least get to share in J’s dish.

We have another friend, S, and she likes to have a bit of an affogato competition with J. The aim of the competition is to pick the most obscure liqueur. I can vouch for the fact that some crazy ass combinations have been selected in the name of this competition.

At the moment J’s parents are visiting us. There have been some really lovely meals out. The tasty looking dessert photographed here was snapped at La Ricetta, a wonderful little family run Italian restaurant in Enmore. Tonight we are taking them out to A’Mews my latest V Fav restaurant. We went there for our anniversary back in December and both loved it so much that we've decided to share the experience with as many people as we can. I will report back on the meal in the next post and hopefully, if the light is right, I can take some decent photos of their excellent food.

So I guess you can tell from all these recent photos that I purchased my new camera . I was suffering withdrawal symptoms not being able to take any photographs for the last two weeks. So yesterday I went out and picked up this excellent little camera. Now I am once again a happy little camper, snapping away left right and center. Here’s one I took of the little moster when we were out for our morning walk.
