A DATE WITH MY HUBBY OR THE FOOD IS GREAT IN P.A.

We are so lucky in Port Angeles to have the number of wonderful eating spots for such a small town - what a group of foodies we dropped anchor in the midst of!!!Last night finally made it to a little wine bar/restaurant called Bella Italia that we had up till then just stopped in to wine taste.

But last night, dinner!!Roy & I almost always order different entrees so we can taste more, but both of us just went gaga over their description of one of the 'specials' - "Roasted beet and goat cheese ravioli in saffron creme fraiche. Served with seared sea scallops"Oh my, the raviolis were just wonderful and now I just have to recreate these at home. And the scallops seared nicely brown, but just perfectly done and not over cooked.

We had a bottle of Walla Walla Vintners, Columbia Valley Sangiovese and what a wonderful match it was.We took a dessert home with us - a chocolate mousse, can't remember how the waitstaff described it, but when we got home and opened this beautiful gift box, there was a huge bowl-shaped tuile filled with the mousse. It was gorgeous and delicious!!Dessert always seems to taste better when you can curl up in your jammies and eat it while you watch a copied episode of Closure - love that show.We had a wonderful date nite!!!
