Happy 28th wedding anniversary . What a glorious day so far. Lovely flight with Air New Zealand spoiling us when they found out it was our anniversary . I had a lovely GF breakfast on the plane . Once we unloaded our luggage we took off to Queen Victoria markets looked at the bargains and oogled over the fresh fruit and vegetables . We had to buy some cherries at five dollars a kilo. Fresh from Tasmania Punnets of blackberries and blueberries two dollars . So we purchased a little bit of fruit and then went quickly through the deli part of the market . The only thing that fell in the bag were olives stuffed with garlic . I still love the look of the New Zealand salmon rolled with cream cheese .

We had a beautiful lunch at Cafe Andiamo,35-38 Degraves St. It was central city down a little alley . We spoke to Maitre'd and he said yes good options GF available. The menu was marked GF and there were lots nice choices. I choose a risotto that had chicken in wine and cream with sun dried tomatoes , spring onions and cashews. Not a weightwatchers choice that's for sure . Full of flavour . Oh yes . The waiter when I queried a couple of things asked are you a coeliac ?. He explained his sister was so although young he had a great knowledge and went off to check my every question.

My hubbie had a risotto as well the seafood one . Surprise surprise !!!. It too was GF and lovely but mine was the pick . I gave attached few photos but they don't do the food justice .


Awaiting my surprise tea ..........
