Metzo Restaurant!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh......we had dinner a couple of nights ago with one of Andrew's coworker's and his wife. We went Metzo Restaurant....we had been there previously with our neighbors, but the last time I forgot my camera!  This time all I had was my phone, so the pictures don't do the presentation of the food justice, but you get the idea!

Caesar salad with duck:

Nicoise salad:

Fish with lobster/crab risotto:

Steak:

Tortellini:

Lamb:

Because it's been raining so much here there was only one other table filled in the restaurant...Usually you need reservations because they are always full.  We were very lucky that night and we had very personal service by one of the owners!  He provided different wines to go specifically with what each of us was eating!  What a wonnnnderful treat! The food was delicious and the wines superb!

Gary and Louise brought us this arrangement of flowers which I found to be so different and beautiful!

After dinner we came back to our house and had some mousse pie which we had bought earlier that day. Andrew and Gary went outside and had a nice cigar and scotch (it wasn't raining!!!). Afterwards, they rode home on their bicycles which they had left "parked" in front of our house!

This past Sunday we took Sammy to Parnassia aan zee...the nearby beach where dogs can run off leash!  He looooves it there!  He ran and played for about an hour. Then we sat at a table at a restaurant on the beach (with Sammy) and had lunch!  It was very crowded that day. There has been so little sun here that everyone flocked to the beach that day. We were lucky to find a parking spot. As we were leaving a police officer stopped us and asked how the parking situation was and we told him there weren't any spots available. The traffic was backed up for miles with people trying to get in!
