So my mom heads home to Las Vegas this week. SP & I wanted to take her out for a nice dinner to say thank you for spending nearly 5 weeks here helping us with the home improvement project. She has wiped up the floors countless times, dusted furniture countless times, done errands, painted, washed clothes, moved furniture, washed and hung curtains... and so much more. The plan was to have dinner at Kiku at Station Square. But we got sick.
We never meant to get sick. Of course, no one means to get sick. First SP started saying he felt like he was coming down with a cold, and by Friday evening he felt awful. It started to really affect me Saturday evening (after dinner) and by Sunday I was carrying a box of tissues around the house. Saturday was rainy, windy, cold, damp and we were both feeling sick, so we had to cancel our dinner out with mom. Instead, we ordered take out from Bravo and she went to get it.
I guess being sick makes me hungry because I ate a lot of food - and drank a few glasses of wine! I wasn't yet taking medicine so mom and I shared a bottle of Greg Norman Shiraz - very good. There was a bag filled with 9 pieces of Bravo's herb bread and there were 2 containers of dipping oil:

Then I ate some Insalata Della Casa (chopped greens, cucumber, tomato, bacon, crispy pasta, and creamy parmesan dressing):



My mom chose Chicken Scallopini (sauteed chicken with roasted portobello mushrooms and provolone with lemon caper butter sauce, feta, and diced tomatoes, served with herb linguine):



I also got tiramisu for dessert, but I didn't take any photos of it since I ate it a couple hours after dinner. It was tasty, as always, I really like the sauce with the tiramisu.
All in all a good dinner, I just felt bad that we were too sick and the weather too nasty to take mom out, plus I'd really been looking forward to my first trip to Kiku in 3-4 years.
