Jen's birthday dinner. She requested chocolate cake with raspberry sauce; I made a nearly flourless cake from our recipe files (Old school! It used to be in regular rotation until Jason and I got tired of it). Easy enough as long as you beat the hell out the eggs and don't overbake it. For the sauce I just used a bag of frozen raspberries, cooked with a little sugar and some Grand Marnier. Big success!
Laurie made meatballs and polenta, and I also made an appetizer of fried goat cheese balls with an arugula salad. Plus some lackluster brussels sprouts (I overcrowded the pan so they were more steamed than fried). Overall a tasty and very fun meal!
