food, food, food!

Over the past month I’ve had some great meals with great company! And I’ve snapped a new photos here and there...

First, there’s the notable Chocolate Dinner. Months in the planning Katie and Brian created an evening centered entirely around chocolate. Mmmmmmm... to begin Katie set out a chocolate platter so we could compare the subtleties of these dark fair-traded chocolate bars.

Apples in chocolate pudding!

Sweet potato burritos with mole (chocolate!) sauce and goat cheese and almonds folded into collard greens.

After dinner we had chocolate mousse cakes while watching the lovely film Chocolat!

Looking back a little bit, we had planned to have a Superbowl party and serve some mussels. But instead we had a mussels party with the TV on in the background. Pete did his magic as always...



When the food came out no one talked to each other.

Last week was Paul’s birthday!

Becky, a fabulous painter, came to celebrate. Check out her paintings of people and sculptures here: http://beckydaroff.com/paintings/
