Happy 2013!

Happy New Year. May 2013 bring you good health, wisdom, love and all that you wish for!

We started the first day of the new year by going to the temple to pray for the new year. I pray that the girls will have a good start to the new school year. :)
After our prayers, we went to The House of Robert Timms, Wheelock Place for brunch/ lunch. The House of Robert Timms serves Australian food. :) What a great start to the new year with my Stout Braised Kangaroo Loin ($26.90) served in stout brown sauce with carrots, zucchini, mashed potato and cripsy puff pastry!! :) I just love roo meat! :P Most of the kangaroo meat pieces were tender (a few pieces were tough but I could bear with it) and tasty with the sauce.

Marieann had Garlic Cilantro Prawns Spaghetti ($20.50). The pasta was spicy as chilli flakes were added although it was not stated to be so in the menu. I am surprised that Marieann managed to finish most of her spaghetti before the spiciness got to her. The prawns were really fresh.

Juliane ordered from the Kids' Menu, Sausage and Eggs Combo ($9.80): cheesy chicken sausage, scrambled eggs, toast and baked beans and fruit salad. She enjoyed her eggs and sausage.

The girls' father had French Toasts with Fresh Fruits ($11.80). We all shared a Pot of Clams in White Wine. The clams were tasty and the sauce was delicious.

Both Marieann and I had dessert: Red Velvet Cupcake with cream cheese ($5.60) and Lemon Crumble Bar ($5). The cupcake was yummy and the lemon crumble bar had the right balance of sour and sweet. :)

A great meal and it is a GREAT start for the NEW YEAR. :)
