A gastronomic experience

Saturday was Phil's birthday, and we took the opportunity to cash in gift vouchers for Rotherhams of Riccarton restaurant which we received for Christmas from Tim and Celia. We went all out and ordered the 5 course degustation menu (although not as 'all out' as the table next to us who order the 8 course with matching wines at $200 a head!!). It was absolutely amazing, every bite a delight! Definitely worth the small fortune we spent.
In other news, we are patiently waiting for the arrival of our first real niece/nephew. This weekend we are going on a tramp to the Mueller hut at Mt Cook, which I am SUPER excited about having never been to Mt Cook before. I'm a sucker for a good view and apparently its amazing from the Mueller hut so hopefully we'll have good weather.

I think Facebook is sucking the will to live out of my blog. I'm tending to just put my photos up there.
We went up to Blenheim in the weekend for Frank and Em's wedding, which was an awesome day. The ceremony was really sweet, plenty of tears (eh Frank!), and the reception was great fun. Phil and I were the MC's, and I was a bit nervous, but once we got going it was fine. I quite liked the microphone by the end of the night! Afterwards the groomsmen and a few of us continued the party in town. Everyone had a great night it seems, and Frank and Em were really happy with how the day went.
We bought Gracie back with us, so she's with us in Chch for a few days.
Heres a few pics.

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a safe and happy holiday season. Heres some snaps from our hols. Yep I know I'm getting lazy in my posts, less words and more pics etc but lets be honest, you really just come here to look at the pictures don't you?
