Dinner at Jen and John's: Jason made a couple of pizza (including an EXCELLENT goat cheese and onion that I don't know why we never have at home), Jen made a a salad, and I made cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I had a frosting recipe from Serious Eats that I wanted to try, so I focused on that, and just made the cupcakes from a mix (since blind testing has shown that Jen prefers the mix anyway). It was an American buttercream with cocoa powder mixed with a dark chocolate ganache. I was a little concerned since my ganache broke, but it whipped up beautifully. Very silky and smooth, not too sweet. Still don't love chocolate desserts....

This may have been the moment when I got 5 mosquito bites
