Dinner for twenty tonight. I am exhausted!
Let's start with dessert first. I made 18 strawberry cupcakes with beautiful pink strawberry buttercream frosting and 2 dozen chocolate fudge cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting. I seriously need to remember to take pictures. They were gorgeous and delicious. I wanted to make a dessert with candied orange peel... but I cooked it too long and ended up with hard candy. This hard candy became dangerous and I cut my finger on it... for real. Maybe I'll try the candied orange peel again tomorrow (and take pictures).
I made a healthy salad. http://www.shockinglydelicious.com/better-than-trader-joes-kale-and-edamame-bistro-salad/ This is one of my favorites. It tasted great and makes me feel healthy at the same time. It is crunchy and has a lot of color. It was perfect with the barbecued chicken legs and thighs, mashed potatoes and green beans.
This is not a typical dinner menu for me but very traditional and perfect for the twenty priests gathered to celebrate the feast of St. Lawrence.
Not really feeling the whole creative writing thing tonight. Important note to self... my brain does not work well when tired;plan accordingly.
Goodnight!
