Last night I finally got to see my boyfriend Tino. We both lead such busy lives – him with his job, kids and soccer coaching responsibilities (for his younger son’s team) and me with my job (which is shift-work and doesn’t always fit in well with the schedule of the rest of the world), business, website and being a landlord.
Tino was away on a ski trip with his kids during their Spring Break a week ago and has been occupied with the of planning their trip, packing and taking care of all the other little details that involve leaving your house empty while you’re out of town. I saw them briefly last week when I picked them up at the airport but since then our work schedules haven’t been in sync, so you can imagine how nice it was to finally spend an evening just talking and catching up with each other.
We had dinner at Sukhothai, one of the most elegant restaurants in Osborne Village, which is one of the trendier neighbourhoods here in Winnipeg. I heard all about their adventures on the ski hill as we enjoyed our favourite green curry and coconut milk soup, which is always perfect… rich and delicious with chicken, mixed vegetables, onions, bamboo shoots and basil. After the soup came Pad Nut Puck (a cashew stir fry with chicken, asparagus, celery, snow peas, carrots, red pepper and onions), Pra Rad Pik (a battered Tilapia fillet in a sweet and spicy chili sauce) and Coconut Rice. We both love good food and dining out at this restaurant is definitely one of our guilty pleasures … pure Heaven on Earth!
