This has been a great day – Dario graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture. He spent a total of four years in formal education, receiving the rest of it at home and yet here he is with a degree. For his celebration dinner, I cooked a recipe I found in Food magazine and then we had a bought cake afterwards. Unfortunately there is no time at night to bake so bought it was.
The recipe had a long name – Grilled Prawn Spaghetti with Tomatoes, Capers, Gherkins & Feta and it basically included all the main ingredients. It looked great in the photo and it tasted just as good.

This was definitely a keeper and not difficult at all. I wish I had had time to bake the cake as well but the bought one was pretty good.
