Cibo Buono (Good Food) Italian Food :)

 So for Father's Day, I went to eat Italian food with my family.

One word: Delizioso!

So we decided to try the House Red Wine at the restaurant. This one is called, Castello D' Angio'. This wine was very very good! I usually like white wine more however, I liked how the red wine taste wasn't over whelming and I loved how it had a nice sweet taste to it. I would definitely drink this one again!


Castello D' Angio'. I had to take 2 separate pictures of the wine bottle because I couldn't take a shot of the words all together :)



I decided to get the Filet Mignon (I'm a huge fan of steak) :)


Ingredients:
USDA Prime Certified tenderloin center-cut filet, flame broiled and served over roasted garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach with portabella mushrooms in a creamy cabernet reduction, with crispy onions. Finest cornfed cattle from the Midwest, Certified prime grade by the USDA, represents 2 % of all the beef


The Linguine Pasta was extremely scrumptious! This would probably be my Go To pasta whenever I go to this restaurant because it was sooo good! I like how the sauce (garlic sauce) is lighter so it is easier to finish your plate without feeling overly stuffed. :)

Ingredients:

Frutti di Mare fresh clams, mussels, snow crab claws, shrimp, and scallops sautéed in either an olive oil – garlic sauce or spicy marinara sauce served with linguine, topped with tomatoes. 


Vino Bianco is one of the MOST popular pasta's on the menu. I really enjoyed this pasta, it had more of a rich and creamier taste to it! Very good as well. :)

Ingredients:

Vino Bianco Fettuccine with shelled snow crab, scallops, diced clams, langoustine, and black tiger shrimp sautéed in a creamy garlic and jalapeno sauce and topped with tomatoes and herbs. 



Happy Father's Day

Hello everybody! :) I hope that you all had a wonderful Father's Day and I wish each and every one of your father's a beautiful day. I think that it is important to take the time to show your dad that you love him through your words, actions each and everyday, not just on Father's day. I think that as I have gotten older, I really learned to appreciate my dad more. I learned that it is a blessing to have the opportunity to spend time and grow closer to your dad. Here are some meaningful Father's Day quotes :)


"One father is more than a hundred Schoolemasters."  ~George Herbert, Outlandish Proverbs, 1640

"Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life."  ~Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities

Riesling

Hello girlies! :) Riesling is very good. When you get the chance, give it a try! Riesling is less sweet compared to Moscato (my ultimate favorite). If you are looking for a wine that is tasty, sweet (but not too sweet) you should give Riesling a try!



Cat Framing Dog

This Youtube video is unbelievable! I have never seen a cat bark like a dog before. Maybe the cat was framing a dog outside? Whatever the cat was doing, this video sure made me laugh! Enjoy :)
