Lunch for Marty




A few of us gals met at Vicini cafe in Annandale for lunch to celebrate Marty's journey into motherhood. With 2 weeks to go we wanted to catch up and wish her well - discussing would it be a girl or a boy? Using the blue and pink love hearts displayed on the table as a "fortune teller" to see if indeed inside her kicking belly was a little girl or boy. Lots of chatting was done, eating and a lovely bottle of Juniper wine was devoured.

With good old fashioned table service, our host Tracey was a hoot - great fun, organised and very attentive to our needs (wine list ladies...). Nice to get some friendly service. Highlight of the lunch was of course the yummiest cupcakes, baked & supplied to the cafe by Nadine Ingham from Cookie Couture selections (Nadine was a pastry chef at The Ivy in London, making exquisite sugary treats for the likes of Princess Diana and Madonna). Best cupcakes ever I said, and in agreeance Marty replied, "the icing is like chocolate mousse", with us all nodding in agreement. Delicious, delicious.

A truly wondeful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Am looking forward to meeting the little Shqau and looking forward to returning to the Vicini cafe for another event.
