Friday Night Dinner: Sicily
After a trip, we wanted something more relaxed and non-fussy. Sicily, close to Victoria Station, seemed to fit the bill on a warm summer evening. My wife commented that the restaurant had been here for many years—and like Chakra a few weeks ago—she’d walked past many times without ever visiting. Something we were rectifying.
We were seated upstairs, and when we arrived, it wasn't very busy with only two other parties seated in the upstairs area. However, within half an hour, the place was full, with nearly every table occupied. Despite the influx of diners, the service was attentive and speedy.
For her dinner, my wife chose the Fiorentina pizza, with tomato, fior di latte mozzarella, spinach, oregano, free range egg, and flaked parmigiano reggiano. The crust was crispy, the spinach wasn't overly wilted and dry, the cheese flakes across the top were generous, and the pizza wasn't too humungous overall. I picked the Rustichelle Salsiccia pasta—twisted pasta with pork and fennel sausage, with mushrooms, saffron, and cream. The sausage is what gave it the flavour, and the pasta and mushrooms the texture.
We both had a glass of their Sicily Pilsner on draught to enjoy with our meals, which paired well with both our dishes. We decided against dessert.
The price for the meal was very reasonable, the ambiance great, and the food well worth going back for again.
Life Line
Created an entrance and a staircase entrance
I walked 7.5km in 1h25m21s
Success (well, 80%) with my first real soldering-required project!
I have a board with components that can power three (different) Neopixel shapes in a (prototype) Lego enclosure.
Need to make lots of nice 8x8 pixel art and fonts now though, and get a properly designed Lego box.
The only problem is a wonky connector for my third Neopixel — I'll have to resolder that.
I also have software so that I can change everything through Wi-Fi.
