Wood Wedding Anniversary

Wow - can you believe I have been married 5 years now? My Wood wedding anniversary was on 1 September and to celebrate, the missus and I went to El Cid in Causeway Bay. As you can guess from the name, this is a Spanish restaurant.

Ever since I started trying to save some money, the wife and I haven't really spent much time dating or eating out. As this was our wedding anniversary, we decided to go out for dinner. Okay - granted, a night out at El Cid is hardly what you would call fantastic fare (the tapas there is only okay but the paella was quite nice). Still, it was a nice opportunity for us to get out and away from Gerry. A little bit of quality time for us.

After dinner, we went to Haagen Dazs for dessert. The missus had a cookie crunch (with 3 different scoops of ice cream!) while I had the hot chocolate brownie. If you have never had the hot chocolate brownie at Haagen Dazs - you haven't lived!

1 square of chocolate brownie with thick chocolate sauce over the top (served hot naturally!). This is accompanied by 2 scoops of ice-cream and another generous side lashing of thick chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Yummy! With the delish dessert to top things off, we really enjoyed ourselves last night.

Of course, the 1/2 liter of sangria helped as well.
