Cortina.....the restaurant not the car!

Last night we made a spur of the moment decision to have dinner at our local pizzeria. Mel had been called in to the Royale for some crispy patients that needed their burns operated on and hence had been in most of the day. On her way home at 7pm we decided to take the easy option for dinner and grab a table for 2 at Sebastiano's. Sebastiano is very interested in how things are going with Noodles and always asks when I go in to pick up a pizza. He welcomed us warmly on arrival and was glad we were going to be eating in so we could relax. He always tells Mel that she should not be working too hard and should be having a few red wines for the baby!

Not long after we sat down the waitress came over with a garlic pizza for us telling us that Sebastiano wanted us to have it so the baby would be happy! So thoughtful. After having our meal we were on our way out and was saying goodbye to Sebastiano when he said "have you had your coffee yet?". Of course we hadn't so he was insistent that we have one each. Mind you his coffee usually is more than just coffee with anything from Pernod to home made grappa from a fosters bottle added. For Mel he made a special pregnancy version which consisted of decaff espresso with about 3 drops of Pernod "just so you have the smell!" he says.

After finishing our coffees, Sebastiano once again reminding Mel not to work too hard and reiterated to us "it is going to be a boy you know!" (I think he says this to all pregnant women) I can't argue since he is actually right on this occasion. He did say the next one would be a little girl. NEXT ONE! We haven't even had this one yet!

Oh well, that was our pizza fix until probably Wednesday night when it will be time for another one.
