A little lunchtime decadence in celebration of Valentines Day, especially as EG and I work so close together. And the rain held off just long enough for our tryst…phew!
So I packed a little picnic – an assortment of sour dough rolls, olives, pickles, rolled prosciutto piccante, hot sopressa, home grown tomatoes, lettuce, tzatziki / vegetable crudites, artisan cheddar, aqua minerale and a half bottle of Moet (drank from plastic tumblers no less). Dessert included some Haigh’s dark chocolate hearts, sweet words and a quite a few kisses 
My life is so much richer for knowing you EG – you inspire and fill me with passion. But I’ll continue this one with you later…
Looks lovely, Mellie! I sometimes have a quick lunch with my boyfriend in a nearby cafe – it’s quite fun to do that (despite him having dropped me off at work just a few hours earlier, and picking me up again later that evening).
Hey there pille – I guess it sort of makes it feel somewhat like a “date”, huh? EG and I often catch up for a bite to eat at lunch too, though we don’t do the regular lunch catch up. But I kind of like it that way as when either of us asks, it feels special and something to get excited about
What a lovely idea and food looked very yummy. Where did you go for your picnic?
You two make a lovely couple
Lovely post, Mellie – after a short ‘dry’ spell since the Sashi Don entry, it is nice to have so many posts to drool over.
Thank you for some lovely photos and ‘tasty’ words!
Are you “doing” any of the Food & Wine events?

Hey cherrie pie – unfortunately my preference for Fitzroy Gardens was quashed as the weather looked too ominous. And we both also had 1.30pm meetings – d’oh! So we ended up having the picnic in a recently developed little seating area near where we both work. At least we had a good bench and seats to sit on! And thanks for your compliment – I think we do too ((grin)).
Heya Michelle
– Yes, the dry spell was in part due to increased duties at work, but also a failing gallbladder (which I had removed last week). One of the consequences of a funky gallbladder was that I couldn’t eat anything halfway decent (ie. fatty). So my blogging opportunities dropped dramatically! But all is well now 
Not sure which events I’l be doing for the Food & Wine Festival. I’ll be in Sydney for part of it (going to Tetsuyas – so I don’t mind so much
!). And you?
