At Postino Wine Cafe With The Ladies

So I was able to go out to dinner with my sissy and girlfriends last Friday. This dinner was long overdue. We've all been so busy with our children and family and a nice relaxing dinner such as this was well needed. We went downtown to a place called Postino Wine Cafe. We sat outside the patio which was perfect. The weather was perfect and the evening was beautiful. The atmosphere was great and the tunes they were playing was perfect as well. My sissy have been wanting to take me to this place since my birthday last year because of their bruschetta but we didn't really get a chance.

We had such a good time and just laughed and laughed for hours. The ladies also laughed at the word tunes because I told one of the server that I loved the tunes that they were playing instead of in their minds I should have used the word music.. Ha ha ha! : )

I love bruschetta and this is my bruschetta board..

You can choose four different one's and each bruschetta was cut into four little slices..

I ordered the Fresh Tomatoes with Mozzarella & Basil..

Prosciutto with Figs & Mascarpone..

Ricotta with Dates & Pistachios (I had it without the pistachios)..

Burrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomatoes..

Oh my gosh! Yummmm, they were soooooo good! I ate the entire board! Well, not the board just the bruschettas on it.

The ladies had this on their board...

Warm Artichoke Spread, Brie & Apples with Fig Spread, Salami with Pesto, Fresh Mozzarella with Tomatoes and Basil, and Smoked Salmon with Pesto & Capers..

They are all soooooo good!!! We had another board and I didn't get to take a photo of it. My girlfriend had the cheese board as well..

Three Artisan Cheeses served with nuts, fruits and toasted MJ breads..

I love this place and their Bruschetta. I will definitely be coming back here again with the Hubs, family and friends. I highly recommend that you visit Postino Wine and Cafe if you've got one near you. Everything about the atmosphere, the staff, decor, ambiance, and music it's just the perfect place to hang out, relax and unwind. : )

Strawberry Bruschetta

I mentioned with my previous post that there was a sale on strawberries so I've been creating some strawberry dishes. Here's another strawberry pairing and nibbles that we enjoy, a strawberry bruschetta. It's the second one this week. I started out with a recipe for Strawberries with balsamic vinegar. I love the sweetness of the strawberries and sugar, the sharp taste of the balsamic, and a very mild heat of pepper. Flavours that wake up your pallette. It's not only delicious its also quite refreshing and has become my chic-a-dis favourite. They have a lot of favourites : )

Add a spoonful on sliced baguettes its delicious...

You can't just have one even if you try. You'll want more...

It's quite nice too eaten by itself as a dessert. : )

Ingredients

A carton of strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
pepper to taste

Method

Chop up the strawberries.
Mix sugar and balsamic vinegar in a bowl.
Add the strawberries and mix all together.
Season with a tad bit of pepper.
