And I did! Had an amazing home-cooked dinner with the roommate and boyfriend - so much better than spending a crazy night in one of the many overcrowded and underlit restaurants serving overpriced tasting menus. Instead, I ate until I was about to burst and spent the rest of the night nursing a rather painful food baby...

Anniversary Celebration New Zealand-Style
As a way to celebrate Valentine's Day and our 3-year anniversary (killing two birds in one stone, yeah!), David and I decided to visit The Musket Room tonight. I haven't had much Australian or New Zealand cuisine before, and I can't say I found it to be much different than food served in New American-style restaurants, but I loved our experience. The ambience was extremely unpretentious for a one Michelin starred establishment and the service was consistently warm and friendly. They even made the effort to make our anniversary dinner special with a personalized dessert presentation and menus / mignardises to take home at the end of the night (though I just opened the menu and found that half of the courses were incorrectly documented... oh well, guess it's the thought that counts. They probably didn't expect people to actually open the lovely wax-sealed paper).
