animal lover, gardener, knitter, and gourmet cook
 

saturday night’s alright for cooking

Yesterday, our friend (and Brian’s former co-worker) Steve came over for dinner. So, we pretty much spent the day cooking and cleaning. That’s one downside to entertaining inside. I guess that’s why we do most of our entertaining on the patio. The upside is the house is nice and clean and we have some leftovers for our lunch tomorrow.

Dinner was quite delicious if I do say so myself. We had Chicken Cordon Bleu, Grilled Antipasto Vegetables, Sage Risotto with Fresh Mozzarella, and Romaine Salad with Parmesan Crisps. And for dessert, a Chocolate Raspberry Fallen Souffle Roll.

It’s always a pleasure to see Steve. He is an avid gardener and, like us, normally has some sort of home improvement project in the works, so there’s always plenty to talk about. We don’t get together nearly enough, but I guess that’s what happens when you live over an hour apart. We are way overdue for a sushi run, so I guess we’ll have to do that sometime this summer (Steve being the guy who introduced us to sushi).
