And for Beks' Birthday

We went to Lynch's, which is an extremely delicious restaurant on the Domain Road, and is a baby- and mobile-free zone (sorry for all those of you who can't bear to be parted with them). In fact, the first time we went there, this baby- and mobile-free policy caused uproar amongst our set (goodness knows why, as not one of us had a baby at the time, and all of us could quite easily have switched off our mobiles for 2-3 hours. Well, maybe the boys couldn't have done so without some sort of withdrawal symptoms, but really). Now, though, blase does not begin to describe it.
So, Julianne and Pete and Michael and Viv and Hugo and Beks and I (the Significant Other sadly had to go to play football in Albert Park), all had just a wonderful and relaxing chatty evening.
For eats:
Entree: Julianne and I shared the positively delicious classic spiced calamari with Vietnamese salad and nuoc nam
Main: I selected the oven roasted new season lamb rack with asparagus, olive and tarragon jus
Dessert: Pete and I shared the special Sticky Date Pudding, and we tried the Bombe Alaska as they brought another because poor Viv and Julianne's souffle collapsed (the kitchen was sooo embarrassed and Julianne had a giggle because she always makes the most delicious souffles and they *never* collapse apart from one occasion, which she can tell you all about herself!)
It was all super fun, and Viv gave Beks a tray of the most gorgeous mangoes and I am to make mango ice cream for S&B session tonight - more yummies.
No pictures this time, sorry! Will remember to take some next time.
