My birthday was in December, but I got my gift from Paul in January. We went for lunch at De Watertoren. It’s a restaurant housed in the top of a former water tower. We had a 4-course lunch and perfect views on Utrecht. The portions were small, but of excellent quality and well prepared. All courses were delicious and I even had a glass of champagne.

So that was a week in which I only prepared one weeknight meal. Oops. Better luck next week.
