This weekend we had such a lovely time with our friends cooking and baking!! For dessert we made a luscious chocolate cake with whipped Ganache thanks to M. Stewart. And for dinner, we had a special treat: homemade chicken gumbo (with beer-bread) thanks to my friends sister who was in town this weekend from Indiana!
The chef was bubbling roux, while tossing sauteed veggies on another burner, adding beer in one pot while adding cocoa in another. No recipes! Just one fabulous cook!
Cheese please!
Chopping all the meat & veggies...
Ready to start the cake!
If only every weekend was full of great cooking, yummy dessert, and fabulous friends! One would need nothing more!
hear, hear! (p.s. is there any reason why we *can't* do this every weekend?!)
ReplyDeleteit was so much fun! and thanks for the gracious omission that the beer bread never made it to the table....heh. i will always and forever remember now that 3/4 c. of sugar!
