Monday's beautiful weather turned to dusty skies on Tuesday. It's been drab and dreary ever since.
Today we met a friend at Viaggo's for lunch.
A bread basket comes with the meal along with diced tomatoes, cubes of parmesan and kalamata olives. I had a rocca salad with shaved parmesan and sundried tomatoes, ricotta crepe with mozzarella and tomato sauce and rolled nougat ice cream with raspberry sauce for dessert.
A colorful, delicious meal on a day that is very gray.
I hope you have a fabulous Friday!
❤ your skies do look gray and a bit dusty..such is living in a dry climate..oh my goodness, does your lunch ever look delicious..they best part of traveling or living aboard is sometimes the wonderful food! have a great weekend!

Gosh! To think, you have to breath that dust in. It can't be too healthy. I've met Salma too, through flickr, who also lives in Kawait. She talks about this phenomenon. Do you wear something over your face?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's Friday again. We are just starting our day here in the states. Your lunch looks very delishious & so colorful.
Have a great weekend!
huGGggggs!
Look at it this way, at least you are not experiencing deadly tornadoes like the southern part of my state did two days ago. I'll take grey, over severe storms anyday.
ReplyDeleteI've written about 12 posts I think since we last corresponded.
Hope you have a nice weekend,

That beautiful meal should perk things up a bit. Have a great weekend Tammy. Diane

ReplyDeleteThe lunch sounds fabulous, T. Makes me hungry to see the photos. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
ReplyDeleteSince I am working on my very fine counted cross stitching, after years, I've been thinking about you a lot. We need light and sunshine for doing crocheting or cross stitching!
Hope you will find some pleasure in crocheting tomorrow on your off day!
Love to you,
Mariette

ReplyDeleteWe are having strong wind gusts here in So Cal and the SE part of the country is being warned about tornadoes tonight. Say a prayer...
Hi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteLunch out with a friend is always lovely, especially on a grey day.
The food looks so good, love the splashes of red.
Happy weekend

A colourful and yummy lunch sounds like a perfect pick-me-up for a dreary, grey day. xo
ReplyDeleteThat meal would definitely brighten a drab day!! YUM! I always love going to lunch with you. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteYummy looking meal! I was in Chicago last weekend for a wedding and the skies were so gray. It is hardly ever like that in Southern California so it made me count my blessings for blue skies. Although, when I lived in Honduras, I loved dark days because it brought relief room the overbearing heat.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
You have the most incredible restaurants where you live, Tammy! The day may have been gray, but the meal was most colorful! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you all have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Zuzu
Yummy! That meal looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks delicious, Tammy! We sure have had wind here the last few days (it literally "wears me out" listening to it, even from inside; but no dust, thank goodness) but thankfully no more tornados (fingers crossed)...

I know how you feel with the dust............it's is the time of year for Texas dust storms. I hope you have prettier days ahead. The lunch looks so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI spy pesto and pistachios in that gorgeous meal ... such a nice counterpoint to the cheery red.
ReplyDeleteHope the dustiness has cleared up.
what beautiful photos...love that red!
