Tonight's Menu:

Homemade Alfredo over Angel Hair Pasta - No Fettuccine
Baked Zucchini Squash
Almond Chocolate Cake (Julia Child's Recipe)

Laura came over to help cook and Chris came over to help eat. Good thing.. we had a lot of food! We started out making the cake because we thought it would take the longest... and it did... 2 hours later it was done. Who knows how long it would have taken if we were doing separately! I buttered and floured the pan while Laura put the almonds through the food processor.



Laura melted the chocolate and coffee while I mixed the butter and sugar. And so on and so on.... It took forever! After we finally got the cake in the oven, we started on the rest of the meal. I worked on the Alfredo sauce, and Laura worked on the steak. We could not stop dipping into the sauce... 1 stick of butter, 2 cups of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of Parmesan, and 3/4 cup of Mozzarella later... our Alfredo was complete... ahh it was so good! No more butter for a long time, well after we make out butter chocolate icing for the cake. First meal was a success. Maybe the next one will be a little healthier. I love good food with good friends.
