We were limited to Very Bad beer and, as soon as the sun sank, drafty Allianz Stadium grew quite chilly. However, it was utterly worth it to cheer on Newie to a 3-2 defeat of the Sky Blues (with Heskey scoring for us and Del Piero for them). Worth it for me, that is. Not so much for SFC members CM and AM, who were more gracious losers than I woulda been. Eschewing arena food, we tromped over to trendy pizza parlour Love Supreme in Paddo, with its tantalising aromas and stacks of supplies used as decorative features. There, we were able to switch from VB to Hitachino Nest, a Japanese ale with an owl on the label - what a hoot. I found the radicchio salad (with pear, gorgonzola and hazlenuts) to be substantial, the pork special not un-special, and the basil ice-cream on melon granita orgasmic. Grassy, summery and so refreshing!
