Dinner and suchlike
Mmm... tastes like winter break. I spent all of yesterday and part of the night before cooking for a dinner party. It was wonderfully extravagant to be able to spend such a ridiculous amount of time on it. And, for the most part, I was quite satisfied with the results: samosas, curry, rice, a lemon tart, and a double chocolate torte. And, as we obviously didn't have enough food, Laura made aloo ghobi and Felice brought chocolate truffles. I must confess that I thought Laura's was better than mine, mostly because she was more daring with the spice. (I've managed to acquire this fear that everyone—except myself—will hate what I make because it's too spicy...) Still, not bad. And I got to have fun with my three rather unnecessary cooking implements that I splurged on after Christmas (a pastry blender, a tart pan, and a springform pan).
