The terrific opportunity to spend time with fellow UNC alums Margaret and Tathy when they came to town for the Bookmarks Festival meant a dinner together last Saturday night. On our menu: chicken and mushroom strudel and roasted broccoli florets. While I do like the recipe for that filling, I find myself considering ways to improve it and need to make some notes before I bring it back with some future supper. Still, the ladies were kind about what was on their plates and it was fantastic to get that extra time with them.
We saved room for some dessert: a tidy square of chocolate cake with chocolate ganache, and a big scoop of double chocolate liqueur ice cream. It was a suitable finisher to our evening of expansive conversation, ample wine, the glow of cozy candles, and the warmth of gathering and fellowship.
