My new favorite drink and my new favorite cheese.
We cooked up a FEAST tonight! Chicken piccata, lemon cream risotto, and chocolate hazelnut cream cake. All from scratch. SO beyond delicious. I love cooking, I really do wish I had the time and energy to do it more often.
Peach Mango V8 splash with champagne, new delicious modified mimosa. Mascarpone cheese, both in the risotto and the cake frosting, makes everything more delicious!
The cake might have been the best cake I have ever eaten. Chocolate layered cake with whipped cream/mascarpone/sugar/hazelnut chocolate frosting, sprinkled with chopped chocolate chips and hazelnut pieces, with just a hint of orange zest. Seriously, you don't even know until you've tried it. Amazing.
All in all, tonight was a great one. Amy, Lindsey, Sam and I made a great team, everyone helping out with every dish. And Amy folded us pretty bird of paradise napkins. Jen stopped by for cake and we spent the rest of the night watching silly YouTube videos. So good.
I am seriously exhausted. I have the whole day off tomorrow with absolutely no plans! I can't wait to do absolutely nothing till I work next on Monday afternoon.
