Not quite. Tonight we have a little bit of luxury but completely affordable. In Hamilton we have a new and brilliant little restaurant Pasta Mia that not only does the most amazing meals in house but also supplies a fantastic range of pastas to takeaway.
This is a New Zealand crayfish



and this is Parmigiano Reggiano, imported from Italy



Put the crayfish and raviolli together as Pasta Mia have done and add a seafood sauce and fresh grated parmesan and you have a recipe for heaven.

The finished product



Just a little sideline. We watched the movie 'In Her Shoes' tonight with Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette and Shirly MacLaine and although I hate to say it considering it was a complete 'clit flick' it was bloody great. A real tear jerker. I usually find Diaz annoying but it looks like she may be adding acting to her resume any minute. Collette was stunning as usual and MacLaine well what can you say? She's not a legend for nothing darlings. Marvellous.
