Last night, my sister and I were home alone, and by home alone I mean her, me and four kids between us. But, once the children were asleep, we had one of our favourite dinners: Carluccio's Penne Giardiniera. Of all the very many things I miss about living in London, mid-week dinners at Carluccios is high up on the list. This is an ever-delightful meal, made even tastier by the restaurant's donation of 50p per dish sold to a UK charity. I learned to make the meal shortly before moving back to Australia- thank goodness.
When my ten year old nephew learned of our Carluccios imitation dinner, he jumped up and
down on the spot and requested that we have his favourite carluccios dinner tonight-- pollo alla milanese. It's basically a thick chicken schnitzel with crispy roast new potatoes. It fills me with such pleasure to see little people, and their changeable taste buds, really tucking into a nutritious and simple dinner.
