Celebrating at Ristorante da Maria my Safe Arrival Home

 We certainly had a VERY GOOD reason for celebrating with a delicious dinner at Ristorante da Maria!
Lady Chef Maria Runggaldier as published in: 5 FIERCE FEMALE GEORGIA CHEFS YOU SHOULD KNOW←click link
On Saturday, June 25th we both went out for dinner...
We were so engaged in conversation that I FORGOT to capture the Appetizer and already had eaten a few bites from the First dish: Summer Lasagnette with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil pesto, topped with Parmesan and fresh basil leaves.
As always we both opt for the healthy living and select Seafood–Entrée:
Scallops and Shrimp over a light "putanesca" sauce with butter, cherry tomatoes, capers, green olives, garlic and fresh parsley.
Maria had potatoes with French beans and breaded egg plant with it.
Pioneer Pieter sure deserved such a great 5–course meal; he'd lost some weight doing such a Mega Task for weeks on end.
Happy to be together!
Wearing my Escada skirt and twinset.
Sorbet:
Pineapple/Lemon Sorbet
Dessert:
Semifreddo Parfait
Half frozen Moscato/amaretto Parfait with merengue, served with fresh berries over strawberry coulis.

It was heavenly—as always at Ristorante da Maria

    1. Dearest Tammy,
      Yes, we did, as always at Ristorante da Maria as she is such a great Lady Chef!
      Being safely back home from my final flight, was sure something to celebrate together.
      Pieter lost some weight, doing so much outdoor work but this suit is really looking great on him, in his squirrel tie. An outlet score!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  5. Es una idea muy buena, comer en un Restaurante nada más que llegar a casa. Se llega cansado del largo viaje y no hay ganas de reponer la despensa y de hacer la comida.
    Besos.

  12. Not sure what you are referring to along I 40….especially since the interstate does not go through Texas….are these what you are talking about

    1. Dearest Janey,
      Yes, I-40 is passing through the panhandle of Texas, through Amarillo.
      Your link shows a conical piece, that is not what I meant.
      Guess they are the remains of Amarillo’s Federal Helium Reserve: https://www.hppr.org/hppr-economy-and-enterprise/2013-09-27/amarillo-facility-avoids-the-helium-cliff
